A 易读度★★★☆☆

My vacation with Grandma and Grandpa was great! They moved to Arizona when I was five. Dad usually visits them, but not this summer! Dad sent me to stay with them for two weeks.

This was my first time to travel by myself. On the plane, I studied a picture. It was a picture of Walpi, an old Hopi village where Grandma and Grandpa live. The village is on top of a tall hill. I wasn't sure I could climb that high. I also wondered if Grandma and Grandpa would act differently in this village than they did in our apartment in New York.

Grandpa met me at the airport (机场). As we drove away from the city, I enjoyed the beauty of the desert (沙漠). Soon we arrived at Walpi. I looked down and found that we were so high up. I felt like a bird!

Grandma was waiting for us. Grandma and Grandpa's rooms were cool after standing under the hot sun. Grandma said the building was made of stones (石头) and the stones kept the rooms cool.

After eating lunch, we took a walk outside. We visited the "kiva": it is a large room where the Hopi people go for special events.

I really liked the Hopi people. They were friendly to me. One man helped me make a gift to take home to Mom. The children and I played ball games. It seemed that I was part of the big family in the village. It was hard to leave my grandparents when my two weeks was over. I wish I could live in Walpi for two more weeks!

Bobby was six years old, and he went to school. There were nineteen other little boys and girls in his class. They were all friends, so they often went to parties together.

Bobby liked parties very much. He liked the games they played there - but he liked the nice food more. His favorites were cakes.
