Dear Alyssa, Julia, Julia and Farah, How are you? I like playing soccer. Also, my favorite food is steak. I don't like any vegetables except cauliflower or broccoli or corn. My Dad owns a lodge that he made. We go on boat rides there during the weekends. There is a pool there so we can swim. We get to see lots of animals there like crocodiles, hippos and elephants. One time when we went there we saw a tree snake or a grass snake and it was heading to a dog and it turned around and went in the bushes. I held a poisonous snake called a boomslon. It nearly tried to bite me but my Dad held its head down. From Ana
