My Life in Las Vegas
May 10
Dear Diary,
I live in Las Vegas! It is a big city in Nevada.
Lots of people visit my city to see the bright lights. To me, it is just my home.
I live near a nice park. My park has tall palm trees.
My dog Max and I like to run on the green grass. It gets very warm here in the desert.
On weekends, my family goes to the mountains. We visit the big red rocks near our house.
We see cool birds and little lizards. I love growing up in Las Vegas!
