Just a few more strokes...

It's Pumpkin Carving Time!

HALOWEEN TIME!

These are carvings and templates of my stormtrooper jack'o lantern! The reason it is a stormtrooper is because I wanted to make something original, but we could only find this pattern as the easiest. It took a long time to finish, but it was still worth it! There were some hard parts that were really narrow, but my dad helped me, so I was Okay. The final product will be shown later.

Inside Lake Fire Station

@ Lake Fire Station

Sound The Alarm!

Today, my sister Elise's Daisy Troop went to the Huntington Beach Lake Fire Station.  When we got in there, the fireman there told us that this was the only fire station in the city that had a pole that you can slide down on!  The fireman giving us the tour, split us into two groups.  My group went inside the station first.  When we went into the kitchen, I immediately noticed that the kitchen was so huge, that they even had three refrigerators and a dinning table for 10 people!  The fireman told us that they play cards to see who has to cook dinner for all 10 people in the station.  Once we ventured into the TV room, I realized that every chair in there was a recliner!  They told us that they can only go into the TV room after they've done everything.Then we went into the dock where all of the fire engines are.  There he showed us all of the equipment they use.  The coolest thing I saw was a metal tool that can break down any door in the world!  Right at that moment, one of the fire fighters had to go to Albertson's.  I wondered if the store was on fire because they turned on the lights and sirens! It turned out they were just buying groceries!  I think that the fireman's job is really cool!! 

Snorkeling time!

under the sea

Look at all the fish!Red ones, blue ones, yellow ones,and even rainbow fish!After I got out, my dad went into the water.He went out really far. But when he came back,he ran to us.And even before I could say a word to him, he told us he saw an EEL!He asked us if we wanted to see it.I wanted to, but I have boundries for snorkeling.So instead of immeadeintly telling him I wanted to go,I questioned him.I asked him where the eel was and if it was big. He said that it was right on the rocks and that it was only about a foot long. When I went in to see what it looked like,it was awesome!The eel was white with black dots on it. It was an experience of a lifetime!

Maui miniature frog

Croak! Croak!

Allloooooohhhhaaaaa! These are the adventures I have been having
in MAUI! It was so much fun!Here's something interesting that happened on the trip. I was walking at the coy pond in my hotel, then I came across a rock with something small moving on it.I come closer, and closer, until I realized that the tiny speck was a frog!There  wasn't one, either. there were two, then three, and a bunch of tadpoles. These were the size of a fly, I tell you!I held the frog on a woodchick. It was awesome!
