I had brought my phone to the pool, so after an hour of swimming, we took pictures and videos. It was quite fun! But the water was quite cold, since it was still morning and the hot sun hadn't come out yet.
After swimming, Sophia's helper brought food to the pool side, and we had a picnic there for lunch. We had hamburgers and dumplings! Yum :)
When we finished lunch, we swam some more, playing games and talking. When we were starting to get sort of cold, we went indoors to take a shower in the club house.
After our showers, we went to my house and we picked out a movie together and watched it on the big-screen Macintosh in my room on my bed. We watched the movie 'Holes'. Our 2nd grade teacher read the book to us, and we really liked the book, so we watched the movie. The movie was really good as well!
Then it was time to take Samantha, my dog, out for a walk. Sophia and I took Sammy out together. Mommy came along as well. When we were on our way back home, we met many, many dogs. We also met a dog called Alex. She is 95% German Shepherd and she belongs to the Hong Kong Dog Rescue. Alex is 9 months old. Alex had a big sign saying: Adopt Me for Free! As soon as I saw that sign, I kept begging to get her.
Alex can sit, lie down, roll over, etc... Also, if you take Alex off the leash, if you call Alex's name, she will come right back, unlike Samantha. If we take Samantha off the leash, she would run off looking for food and never come back, even if we have treats in our hand. We also met a Yellow Lab called Simon. Simon is 3 years old and really well trained. We threw tennis balls for Simon to retrieve, and once, by accident, I threw the tennis ball into the bushes. Simon ran after it, and I thought Simon wouldn't come back, because that's what Samantha would do. She wouldn't come back at all. But after a minute or so, Simon came back... with the ball in his mouth!! I wish Samantha could be like Simon and Alex, so we could take Samantha off the leash and play ball with her, but we wouldn't do it now... not if there is a risk of losing her.
After a very fun but tiring walk with Samantha, Sophia and I went back to her house, because I was invited to another picnic with Sophia and her other friends. It was really fun as well. We played with hula-hoops and other things. The dinner was really nice as well; chicken wings, pasta, chicken, pizza and lots of other food.
Although mommy told me to go back home right after dinner, Sophia asked me to play at her house for an hour or so -- it was still really early! So mommy let me play with Sophia for a little bit, but I soon came back home because I have to go to bed soon.
I can't wait for tomorrow even though I don't know what I'm even gonna do tomorrow! But I bet tomorrow will have something to do with Sophia, and so will the next day... and the next... and the next... :D
