Entry for http://www.ChampChild.com letter writing contest for kids 10-12 years old.

1. Dear Levey,
Heyy! SO MUCH has happened since we last spoke!
Considering the fact that the last time we spoke was, like, a few
hours ago when I was still on the ship, I think it’s noticeable that
my life has totally become way more interesting! Not that I don’t
have an awesome time back on Earth with you. I mean, you’re the
best friend anyone could ever ask for……. Even though you annoy
me to death.
Since you’re not here, I’ve decided to give you a verbal tour.
So, put on your spacesuit and fill up your oxygen tank because I’m
going to……. Whoa, a shooting star just passed by. And by passed by
I mean totally whooshed by. You should have seen the way it
brightened up the already beautiful rocks, even if it was for just a
few seconds.
The purple cliffs perfectly contrast the rusty red surface,
and the craters are just like little arenas, if you were here we
probably could have had a duel in one of them. I bet you’re feeling
totally jealous right now. BWAHAHAHA! I’m such an evil elf.
But, seriously, this awesome view would be way better if
you were here with me. I mean, I’m here with colleagues with whom
I just can’t be me. I CANT EVEN THROW ROCKS AT THEM!

2. Just before I started writing this, I was gazing in awe at a
million stars spread across one of the most colorful skies I have ever
seen. You know what’d be really cool? If suddenly aliens jumped
out of these craters around us. Friendly aliens, of course. I’d be
telling that story forever… I might even finally get a few likes on
my facebook statuses!
I want to take a photo to send to you, but my official-worknon-friend-type-people say that I can’t use the cameras unless it
“benefits our research”. So, I guess I’ll just attach a drawing I did on
my note -
Ok, I have to go work now. Don’t have too much fun
without me! Oh, wait, you having fun without me … that’s
physically impossible. Never mind. And by the way…… CAN YOU

3. BELIEVE IM ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE ON MARS! – I know
that was late…but it kind of slipped my mind.
K! BYEEEEEEEE!
Rhea
(As if you hadn’t already guessed)
P.S- I’ll get you some mars rocks. I know you love red!
P.P.S- DON’T EVEN TRY EATING MY SECRET STASH OF
COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!
