= = =="Hey, wake up Jennifer," said my Dad. "Today we are going to board the Mayflower." I hope I see some of my friends. We boarded the Mayflower on September 6,1620. On the ship I made friends with people. I saw people i already knew, like my friend Alex Mandring. Another friend I saw was Amanda. On the Mayflower, we were mostly bored. In the winter, my friends' Dad got scurvey and died. It was very sad. Many people got sick. My brother got scurvy but did not die and Alex got scurvy and did not die. Many other people got sick on the ship like my brother and Alex. The sickness did not kill them though, unlike many other people.==

On the Mayflower somone said, "Look the new land is right up there!"
==Once we got to the new world, the captain said, "We are here!" Everyone was very tired, but many people were suprised! Once we got used to the new world, some people started exploring and hunting and we met the Wampanoags. We made friends with lots of Wampanoags. They taught us how to fish, hunt, and grow crops like green beans and corn. We were glad we had come to this new place. One of them had an interesting name. One of their names was Saka Montora. My friend and I played games with her. The Wampanoags and us decided to have a feast and we would call it thanksgiving. We were starting thanksgiving to give thanks to God for every thing on the Earth. Everyone was getting ready for the feast of thanksgiving.==

==The week had gone by and the feast was tommorow. "It is a very important day tommorow," said the captain. Today is the feast. At the feast, we had turkey, cranberries, seafood, duck, and cabbage. My sister Mary said to everyone, "I've never had so much food in my life!" We did not just eat but we also prayed and gave thanks to God for all of us. And we gave thanks that we are still alive through the winter when many people died. We played lots of games. Blinds man bluff was a very popular game and so were other games like shooting marbles through a box and getting a ring onto a stick. The meal lasted 3 days. After the feast, the pilgrams did not go back to England, they built their own houses and continued their lives. THE END!==
