The Getty Center

This summer I went to the Getty Center with my grandparents. We decided to go because every time we pass the museum they want to go, so this summer we went. When we got there, we first got on the tour. We were learning so many things about the  paintings and who created it. While walking and looking I spotted the kings bed. It looked like to me that the blanket was silk. We also saw a wood sculpture that looked like a statue. It had these meanings on it's foot. I thought to myself and how long would it take.  The tour guide did not say, but it probably took a long time. The last thing we did in the tour was  the garden of eve. I learned more information about Adam and Eve. We ate lunch, and while eating we were thinking of what should we do next. We chose the garden tour. On the tour we past many trees. She told us that all the trees would look like one. Next, we walked down to the garden. I walked to the garden and saw many flowers, vines, and even a maze in the water. It is very beautiful

Here is a photo with the maze and the Getty Center

Have you been to the Getty Center or a museum? If so what did you learn?

Unrecognized Plant Solved

 On one of my posts I was talking about the bonita peach. Since my grandparents were here I knew that they had gardening experience . One day my grandma saw a tree in my garden and saw a ripe fruit. I was in the pool when it happened, so I did not get to see it. She tried it and she recognized the flavor. My grandma always tastes my grandpas fruits a lot, so I knew my grandma's connections with the fruit was probably going to be correct. She was thinking for a while, and suddenly she thought of the word apricot. An apricot is orange and to me tastes like a plum. So that means it is a apricot tree

 Have you tried a apricot before?

At the Beach

My family is here from Denmark this summer, so we went to the beach. In Denmark, it is very cold sometimes, even in the summer. They have earthquakes and snow storms. They get snow and a lot of rain. 

Even though the water was cold, we still went in. Since it was very hot outside, it felt refreshing. I went under a few times, but I got right back up and did not fall. One time I was holding my dad's hand and my uncle's hand. I went under the wave with them , and my uncle landed on my knee. Sadly, my uncle hurt his toe. It was turning blue. After we were done,  we went to the rock at Point of Doom to see it. We weren't allowed to swim because of the big rocks.

Unrecognized Plant

While my mom was putting wood chips through the yard she noticed an ordinary fruit. At our neighbor's house they had the exact same thing. It had a tag that said a fruit name. It said Bonita Peach. I felt theirs then felt mine. They felt exactly the same. But then I looked at the leaves, and I realized that the leaves were not the same. But it still felt like a peach. The fruit was also smaller and a different color. One fruit fell down from the tree. Our other neighbors have the exact same tree. I only know that because it has the same leaves, fruit, size, color, and felt the same. My mom thought it came from the neighbor's yard. Now it has many fruits on it.

Do you know type of peach it is?

My Right Angles and Last Day of School

Yesterday was the last day of school. Mrs. Yollis took a picture of my shirt because it had right angles. I wore the shirt because it was something I learned in third grade. I realized that the angles looked like the letter L. The "L"s could stand for the last day. This school year I learned many things. I mastered my multiplication facts and the division facts. The day before the last day we had our party. There was pizza, veggies, fruit, and cookies. Bennett's mom started the game jeopardy, so we could play. Even though team four won, we still had fun. One of the questions was: What landmark has faces carved on it?  We correctly said Mt. Rushmore.

Then Parsa finished Alpha Smarting on the last day with twenty minutes left! Since he was typing so fast, I felt like he was flash. He finished at least five sections.

 After everything we had to say goodbye. It was very sad.

We had a group hug. I had to say goodbye to my friends even though I will see Collin and maybe Ryan because of basketball.

Wood Working Projects

After school on Wednesdays, I was in an enrichment program. It is called Wood Working. We learned how to cut, glue, and sand. My first project was a covered wagon. My second project was the wishing well.  When I was sawing, I had my goggles on. We wore them, so we would not get saw dust in our eyes. After cutting we went to the sanding table. I started with the eighty grade sandpaper and ended with the two twenty sandpaper. Sometimes I even used the three eighty grade sandpaper. The point of sanding is to get it smooth, so we would not get splinters. At the glueing table, we glued the parts we had sanded and cut. We did one part at a time. It took us ten weeks to finish. If we finished our part of the project early, we could work on any other project that we wanted. I made a horse to go with the wagon. One time with my friend we made bongos. For our teacher we made a blogging boat because she has a blog. It is called Mrs. Yollis' Classroom Blog.

New Plant in The Garden

While I was at Home Depot walking through to the Malibu lights section,  I remembered my garden. I saw a blueberry bush, and then we saw that it needs a lot of sun. And here we have a lot of sun. So then we decided to get it. Even though there was not blueberries on it yet we still bought it. There was a few more with blueberries on it, but they were too big. When I got home we did the Malibu lights and planted the blueberry bush. We put it right by the pool. In this photo there is a picture of it right when we got it.
