12. Yesterday, my family and I went to the National
Zoo and Aquarium to visit the new Snow Cubs and
the other animals. In the morning, when we got to
the Zoo and Aquarium there was a great big line, so
we had to wait awhile to get in.
After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the
enclosure for the Snow Cubs. My brother and I were
so excited to see them. They were so cute and playful.
At lunchtime Dad decided to cook a bbq. He cooked
sausages so we could have sausage sandwiches. My
Mom forgot the tomato sauce so we had to eat them
plain. In the afternoon, we visited the aquarium. My
brother was excited to see the sharks and the tropical
fish. At the end of the day when we left we were
going to go and get ice cream but we decided we
were too tired so we drove straight home, but of
course I was very happy.

Being a princess is never an easy task. That also applied for
Princess Adelle. Her day was never easy. Her schedules had
always been prepared beforehand by the royal assistant. She
barely had any free day. Sometimes, even on national
holidays, she got a schedule. That day was not very different.
It was the first day of 2017 and Princess Adelle was very tired
because she was up all night, attending The New Year’s Eve
event in the Royal Palace. Although she could barely sleep, she
tried to wake up early. She woke up at 6 a.m. She should be
ready before 8 a.m., so she washed herself and put on the dress
that had been prepared for her by her assistant.
After that, she had breakfast with the member of the royal
family. At 9 a.m., she went to a charity event for the orphans
held by several social institutions of the country. The event
finished right before the time for lunch, so Princess Adelle
enjoyed her lunch with the company of social workers and the
orphan children. After lunch, she continued her schedule to
attend the inauguration of a new public school near the
palace. She gave her speech there mentioning that she was
very happy to be invited to the event. She hoped that the new
school would be able to help the students to be successful in the
future.
