Pancake Swirls

On Sunday, my dad made pancakes for me. When he flipped one, it had swirls on it. We did not know why, so we thought about what could of caused this. My dad said, " It must have happened when I was putting the dough on the pan because I put it on in circles." Then we took a picture of it before it burned. The pancake was delicious.

What do you think happened to the pancake?

What do you put on your pancakes?

Roxy and Barley

Three weeks ago my family took care of a dog. The dog was a chocolate Labrador. Her name was Barley. My dog Roxy was playing for hours with Barley. Roxy took a couple of naps. The dogs were waking up around six. Saturday was the most tiring day.  My mom walked the dogs while I was playing basketball. After thirty minutes I played fetch. Roxy was so tired, so she took a nap. Barley was not tired yet. I played fetch again. The Sunday Barley left was when I had a game. My mom told me we just missed her by five minutes.

                                             Have you ever taken care of a dog or animal?

Sun Sugar Tomatoes

A couple weeks ago my dad got me a tomato plant. We planted it. After a few weeks, they turned yellow. The tomato has to be orange to be eaten. These tomatoes are called sun sugar. Some other tomatoes are red. When they turned orange, my sister tasted them. I used her because she loves tomatoes. "It was pretty good, she said. Suddenly I gulped it it. Same as my mom. My mom shared the tomato with me. Here are some of our tomatoes.

Before we even ate it we just slid in this picture.

Have you tasted a sun sugar tomato?

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?
