Oberweis By: Spencer V. Oak Grove School
I love ice cream, and I love going to Oberweis! I don't remember what flavors of ice cream I ate the last time I was there with my mom, dad, and sisters because I go there a lot. I do remember that I had a hard time choosing because they have a ton of unique flavors. (They don't just sell ice cream, though. They also sell lemonade, skim milk, chocolate milk, and other drinks too. My family has Oberweis milk delivered to my home!)

On about half of the tables in Oberweis, there is a chessboard with chess pieces. I started to play a game with my dad the last time I was there, but when I was eating my ice cream, my sisters knocked over all of the pieces! That was the end of my game!

When we were leaving Oberweis, an employee offered us balloons! I highly recommend that you to to Oberweis!

Philly G's by: Bella C. Oak Grove School
Philly G's is the best place to eat because it has a bar, a banquet room for weddings and meetings, and also a party room. The bar has a dance floor and a singer that lets you dance to a really good song. The place where you can get married is upstairs. The party room is where you can have a meeting or a birthday party in fact I'm going there for my birthday party to eat. I know my mom will be able to tell my family what to order because she works there! When I went to the bar room I paid the singer one dollar for the great singing. Also the bar had a television. The thing that was funny was that there was a baseball team playing called the Phillies. Whenever I have a celebration I'm spending it at Philly G's!

Lifetime Fitness by: Monika Z. Oak Grove School
Last month I went to Lifetime Fitness with my dad, mom, and my sister. First we went rock climbing, it was challenging and it was hard. I made it to the top! Then we went to play basketball, it was my mom and sister against my dad and I, we won. There was also a place to play soccer but we didn't play because personally we don't like soccer that much. Finally my favorite part was when we went swimming. There were two water slides. One is open and one is closed. I went down both. My sister and I were playing on the slides and racing each other, my mom was swimming and my dad was reading a book. I hope we go back soon.

The Rainforest Cafe by: Emily R. Oak Grove Shool
Last summer, my two best friends and I went to the Rainforest Cafe for my friends birthday. When we got there, there were fake animals everywhere, a fake alligator, giraffe, and even a snake! When we went inside, it was really cool! There's a HUGE fish tank. Two smaller tanks are connected with a tube to get to the other tank. We also saw fake vines everywhere to make it look like a rainforest. When we got to our seats, we automatically began looking at our menus. Then, the waitress came and took our drink orders. My friends and I ordered Sprite, and my friend's parents ordered Coke. We then saw that they had really cool light up cups that you can take home and they served our drinks in those! Soon we ordered our meal Just then, we heard thunder! The lights flashed! There was a "thunderstorm" going on! Some time later we got our food. It was awesome! When we finished our food we ordered a dessert called The Volcano. It was ice cream, brownies, and hot fudge shaped into a volcano! We finished that five minutes after we got it since their food is so good! After that, we left. I was so glad I got to go to the Rainforest Cafe.

Tsukasa by: Ananta S. Oak Grove School
Last summer I went to Tsukasa with my friend and her family for a birthday party. We sat at a square table. Guess where the chef cooked? Right in front of us on the table! Each table had its own personal chef! The chef was amazing! First he did some tricks like making a big flaming fire that was on the stove which was at least five ft. high and out of nowhere a "train" appeared made out of onions and smoke was coming out of the first onion! He asked for a volunteer to do another trick and choose me. He put a raw egg on a spatula. He held my hand holding the spatula. We flipped the egg but it did not crack! After that the chef cooked a wonderful and delicious dinner. It was the world's best restaurant food ever! I had a great time eating at Tsukasa.
