It was a classic! We are at the last inning, we are a little behind (8 to 10), all the bases are loaded, and I went to bat. it became full count, (3 balls and 2 strikes)and when the ball was pitched again, I hit it actually not that hard, because i knew that they were ready for a hard one, then I ran…and the other team fumbled the ball a bit, and I kept running until it was a grand slam, and we won 12 to 10!Wow that was amazing! Everybody came running to me and gave me a hug, then they signed my grand slam ball and awarded me with what was now my very own game ball!!!!

Over the summer, I am going to take some lego figurines and paint them to look like me and my friends.

I think I will use this as a template.

It was great! We had brought lunch from home, so we sat down and had our lunches. After that we bought tickets for the rides and games,(i spent $15 on tickets). $1 for every 2 tickets! That day was an awesome day because all rides were 2 tickets!! Then we started having real fun!!

So the first ride we went on, was the mini fun house. As you enter the fun house, it has a glass maze; so if you go the wrong way, you might knock into glass!! And if you go the right way, then you can go up a flight of stairs, leading to the slide at the top. This slide was short but fast, I almost got a burn!

Then we went on a ride called Cyclone. Cyclone has 4 seats circled around each other hanging from a pole, and it has a little plate in the center so it looks like 4 chairs around a table. It spun around and around, and as you turned the center plate, it would make it turn on its own axis. It was fun and I didn’t even feel dizzy!

The next ride that we went on, was a ride called spaceship 2000 or something like that(i may be wrong.) The spaceship was cool because it spun so fast you stuck to the wall. One guy even got stuck sideways!!! That was cool and it sticks to my mind!

The next ride was the swing or something(I’m positive I’m wrong on this one) — it was just one of those two seaters which spins around going higher and higher, kind of like a tether ball being hit.

Then we went on the big fun house. This was definitely called Moscow circus. The big fun house has a bunch of things like a board that tilts side to side when you step on it, shifting stairs, a conveyor belt and more. At the top there is a big twisty slide in it. I flipped over, so i was going headfirst. Then i flipped back and came out sideways and got a bruise on my elbow. That part wasn’t very fun but it was still awesome!

Then we went on a ride which was like Cyclone, but much more chaotic. That was easily the worst ride of the day! Then there was the g force ride (i didn’t go on this) so i cant tell u about it. Then we went on tilt-a-whirl, a ride that goes on a wavy bottom that tilts and whirls.

After that, we went on this ride that looks like a dragon, it has stuff on the side that when u go backwards it has so much pressure it goes over your head.

Last but not least, we went on Hydro Slide, a water ride that has two channels that are full of water and you slide down. And boy, that did cool us down! Then there were the games like dart in a balloon, ring a bottle and many other usual games that you find at a fair.

So as you can see i had a great time at the OC county fair. I recommend this to all people who like fun!!!

OK, these are the projects and fun plans that I have for summer:

Destination: The future. Distance to destination: not far. What more can I say?

2nd Reportirg Period: Sonya is making steady progress in all areas of the curriculum. She has a great ability to recall and apply previously taught ideas to a new situation. She also works well with her team during cooperative learning. She exudes seff-confidence that ignites those around her! She is an asset to learning.

Forget about the letter grades of A or B or C; I have that covered – but this has to be the best report card ever. Apperently I ignite those around me – hope that is a good thing!

I also liked the bit about being able to recall and apply previously taught ideas to a new situation.

Also, thanks to my parents — please continue doing all you do!

I am learning Photshop – and I used Pizza Text Action to create my name baked as Pizza; complete with spices, texture, sauce, crust!!!!!

The weather was warm and it hasn’t snowed in a week or two, so we weren’t sure if there will actually be snow enough to sled or not; but thankfully, Mt. Baldy is not that too far from us.

So we started out at about 1.00 pm and got there at about 2.00; we didn’t see any snow till we were almost at the Mt. Baldy town. The place was busy but not very crowded.

Our plan was to park at the Mt. Baldy ski lift, but the snow was a little farther from there and we had a lot of things to carry, so we decided to drive back to the town to get parking pass also called adventure pass. There were at lest 4 or 5 parking police people so don’t take a chance of not getting a parking pass. My dad says that we will just buy a couple of those passes and carry with us in the car.

We got out of the car; it was kind of windy and we had several sleds with us and for a moment it seemed that the wind will convert the sled in to a parasail – ok, just kidding. I held on to it pretty tight.

The snow was … ice; it was a bit hard; which is not too bad for sledding. I grabbed the one sled that has brakes for myself and here you can see me going up the hill.

Me and my friend D. getting ready to slide down:

Navigating around:

What a perfect snowball:

My friends A. and D.; this was A’s first snow and he was a trooper and he had a great time. We were trying to make a snowman for him.

And after a cold day out – you need some hot chocolate:

Cheers!

I have been watching the moon, Venus and Jupiter, so bright and clear in the sky.

If you look at it closely, it makes a happy face.

But this picture is even more beautiful. Click on it to see it in full glory. You can see downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, ships in the ocean! And then in the sky you see the bright Venus and slightly less bright Jupiter.

Here is a good smile picture
