John F Kennedy at Dealey Plaza

While we were in Texas we went to the Dealey Plaza Museum. Dealey Plaza was where John F. Kennedy was shot, and the museum describes what those days in 1963 were like.

John F. Kennedy became president in 1960 when he defeated Richard Nixon. JFK's wife was named Jackie. They were very popular.

Durning his presidency Kennedy made several famous speeches, including his famous "Ask not..." speech, and a speech announcing the space program.   He also dealt with the Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba, where the US was defeated.   Later, he dealt with the Cuban missile crisis, where he showed his strength and got USSR to back down and remove their missiles from Cuba.

Kennedy was in a motorcade in Dallas in November 22 of 1963 when Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy. Kennedy was pronounced dead about half hour later at the hospital.  Lee Harvey Oswald was killed two days later as he was led from the court house.

Lyndon Johnson took the oath of office on the presidential plane, Air Force One, before they left Dallas. Normally the president takes the oath of office in Washington, D.C.

The museum was very well done. I felt very sad while watching the funeral. The things i will remember most is that the spot where Kennedy died and seeing the window where the shot came from.

Seeing everyone in Minnesota

When we went back to Minnesota lots of people wanted to see us and we said yes. We had people over and playdates and other stuff. One of my favorites things was going to Murray's Restaurant for lunch. another day we went  to lunch at the new Eagle Ridge school  . Yet another day we went to a   Gophers game to see my big brother march . One day me and Erin went to a friends house for playdate and we did Nerf gun wars. Another day our family went to Canterbury to see the wiener dogs race which we always enjoy .

At Canterbury  some friends came to watch it with us and we had pizza and we had ice cream and my brother was there too and I also had gummy worms which were so yummy.
