Trip to the Colosseum

MAX:

Today we went to the Roman Colosseum.  We saw performers dressed up as gladiators outside.  It was HUGE.  It had a bunch of arches.  From the second level, you could see all of the old cages where they would keep the lions and bears that the gladiators would fight.  We also saw a big arch - the Arch of Constantine.   Then we ate lunch on the spanish steps.  After that we went home. 

We ate pasta for dinner and for dessert we had gelato which is italian ice cream.  Yum!

MAGUIRE:

I am such a super duper traveler. I ride around in my little portable stroller when my legs get tired, even as it goes bumpety bump over the cobblestones. I've mastered climbing aboard Metros and getting on and off escalators. I love eating coffee and berry flavored gelatto. I chow on margharita pizza. My favorite Italian word is "Buh" which means "I don't know." Today at the Collosseum we counted gladiators. We came up with 12. Yesterday, I got so worn out I conked out cold in my stroller on the way to the park. I woke up to see the arcade and my first awake words were "Mommy look at the blue rocket!" She said, "Do you want to ride it?" Of course, I said yes! This afternoon we laid low to slow down a little. I invented the game of Buffalo Turkey Chef! Everyone in the family played with me!  

  MADDIE:  Today we went to the Colloseum! It was awesome! We hopped the Metro at about ten this morning to go to the Colloseum. When we got there, we went to the place to get tickets, then we walked to the Colloseum. The Colloseum was amazing! It was giant, probably double the size of the Reds Stadium! It was really cool! The floor was mainly destroyed so you could see where the lions and bears were kept. It was pretty deep down to the bottom. Anyways, it was awesome! Tomorrow is our last day in Rome. Then, on to Florance.

Hi Mallory,

We love your pictures of italy. Especially the fountain. We saw your pictures of you making pizza so we read the Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza and thought of you. Everyone misses you and we want to say, please come back to school!
