Liam-kyle - Going To France

Hi there! I'm Liam-Kyle, but you can call me Liam for short. I am about to embark on a super cool adventure in France, and I am so excited! You see, I want to be a pilot when I grow up, so this trip is like a mini-training for me. Plus, I hear they have the best football teams, and I am a HUGE football fan.

Before I tell you about my upcoming adventure, let me share a funny story about my parents. In 2019, my mom and dad went on their honeymoon to Paris, the capital of France. They had an amazing time exploring all the famous places, but there was one thing that made my mom a little afraid - the Eiffel Tower!

You won't believe it, but my mom, who is usually brave and confident, was actually afraid to go on the Eiffel Tower. She said it was so tall, and she was scared of heights. My dad, being the loving and supportive husband he is, tried to encourage her. But she just couldn't do it. So, instead, they had a romantic picnic underneath the Eiffel Tower, enjoying delicious French pastries and laughing about her fear. It's one of their favourite memories.

Now, back to my adventure! I can't wait to visit France and explore its beautiful nature and famous attractions. My dad, who is a computer wizard, helped me find all the fun places to visit in France online. We found a gigantic museum called the Louvre. Apparently, it's so big you could play about a million football matches inside! I wonder if they'd let me kick a ball around in there. Probably not, huh? But it would be fun!

Then there's also an aquarium that I want to visit, because I heard they have a tank so big that it makes the swimming pool in my backyard look like a bathtub! I can't wait to see all the fish, especially the sharks! I told my baby sister about it, and she tried to make a shark face. It was more like a cute little fish face, but don't tell her I said that!

And did you know, in France, they have these tall bread things called baguettes? They're so long that I bet if I lay down next to one, it would be taller than me! I can't wait to try those. My mom, who is super good at making delicious food, says that the French food is 'Magnifique'. That's a fancy French word for 'super-duper'!

As I prepare to embark on this exciting journey, I can't help but think about my parents' honeymoon in Paris. They shared their stories and photos with me,

Parents in France.

and it made me even more excited to visit this beautiful country. Well, I am happy that they came back before COVID-19 made its debut internationally; Anyways, I hope to overcome any fears, just like my mom did, and make incredible memories of my own.

Well, that's it for now. I'm off to pack my bags with my football, a picture of my family, and my toy airplane - can't forget that! I can't wait to share my French adventures with you when I get back. Au revoir, which is the French way of saying 'see ya later, alligator'!

P.S. If I meet a pig, I'll definitely not call him Napoleon.
