My Magical World

Just Today

2012-01-10T20:21:00.000-08:00

Today I got up and had Cream of Wheat for breakfast. I played on the computer and held Salt, my rat. Then we did a lot of school work. Then we went to the fitness center for swim team. We came home and had some dinner. I read a book and then went to bed.

Dog Creek Falls

2011-09-26T20:29:00.000-07:00

Dog Creek Falls is a creek 30 min north of Redding that feeds into the Sacramento River. It has a beach of river rocks that have very cool colors and shapes. I found a rock that I call the leaf rock because it looks like a leaf and another rock that is shaped like a nail.

At Dog Creek there is also a natural slide into a small pool. Is that cool or what? It was too cold for me to slide down the natural slide but I did find a frog. A little later, my brother was trying to catch a baby water strider and when he couldn't, he threw the plastic tub towards me but it landed in the river and it was gone before we could get it. We both felt very bad. We didn't mean to litter. When we come next time, we are going to pick up the trash that others left.

This is how you get there:

First, you get on the freeway that heads north until you come to Exit 707, then take it. Come to the end of the exit and turn left. Continue under the freeway until you get to a street called Fender Ferry Road. Turn left onto Fender Ferry, drive approximately two miles across three bridges, and then park. Follow a trail downstream of the bridge. Caution! The road to get there is a bumpy, dirt road.

My Snow Experiments

2011-03-15T08:39:00.000-07:00

One day, there were snowflakes falling. So I decided to get two plastic tubs. I filled one of them with fresh new snow and the other with old snow. I did not pack them down. Then I took them inside and waited for each one to melt. I wanted to find out which one had the most water. My hypothesis was that they would have the same amount of water.

I let it melt and later came back to look at them. The fresh, new snow had the least amount of water. The old snow had the most amount of water.

While I waited, I took a black piece of paper outside and caught some snowflakes. I could see many different kinds of snowflakes. My favorite is the one at the top. Here is a fun website to learn more about snowflakes.

My papa took my brother, my mommy and me to the Sixes River. When we were there I learn how to pan for gold. We found a lot of water dogs. Later that day, we went to the West Coast Game Park. There were a lot of animals that you could hold. We had so much fun! You have to go there some time.

My Birthday!

2010-09-18T08:15:00.000-07:00

On my birthday, I went and got a henna tattoo. Buddy got a tattoo which was a guitar and I got lots of little flowers and leaves. Mommy got one too, it also had flowers. Then we went home and waited for daddy. When daddy got home, we went out to a restaurant. When we got there I opened up my presents and I was so happy.

Our Vacation at Bandon

2009-10-21T06:59:00.000-07:00

A few months ago, we spent a couple days with Papa in Bandon.
Bandon is where my mom grew up. We stayed in her bedroom, it was very warm.
It was a fun trip. Here are some of the things we did.
This is the Coquille River Lighthouse in Bandon.

These are sea lions and we spotted them and Mommy took a picture.

This is a jellyfish. Moms says it is Polyorchis penicillatus but I don't know how to say it. We also saw a larger jellyfish but it was dead on the beach and looked really yucky so I didn't want to show you the picture. We don't know what kind it was though.This is me when we went crabbing. We only caught one that we could keep but someone gave us two more crabs.This is a fox. One of Papa's friends had trapped it to move it off his farm.

Yosemite National Park

2009-10-12T15:41:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of a valley called Yosemite National Park. We went on a vacation there a couple weeks ago. On our last day, a bear walked through our campsite! . I really liked Yosemite and it was very fun.
This picture is of Half Dome. Half Dome is made of one kind of rock called granite.
My brother loves trains a lot. We surprised him with a trip on an old steam engine near Yosemite.
My mom found a butterfly and she put the butterfly on her finger. I put a little water on my finger and let the butterfly climb onto my finger. Then I showed my brother and Daddy. Buddy wanted to have the butterfly on his finger too but it got scared and flew away.
This picture is of the Grizzly tree. It started growing when Cleopatra was ruling in Egypt.This tree was so big that years ago, before Yosemite was a national park, people cut a hole through the tree to drive a car through it. The huge trees here brought attention to the area and many people like John Muir and Galen Clark helped to make it a national treasure.

Volcanoes

2009-02-07T08:21:00.000-08:00

I made this by myself. It is two different kinds of volcanoes. One shoots out ash, the other oozes lava. I drew it so you can see the magma inside.
From My Mom:

Shield Volcano - A gently-sloping volcano that emits mostly basaltic lava that flows in long-lasting, relatively gentle eruptions - explosions are minimal. Shield volcanoes can be very big. An example is Mt. Kilauea (in Hawaii, USA).

Composite or Strato Volcano - A steep-coned volcano that explosively emits gases, ash, and pumice. This type of volcano can have eruptions accompanied by mudflows. Most volcanoes on Earth are of this type. Strato Volcanoes kill more people than any other type of volcanoes - this is because of their abundance on Earth and their powerful mudflows. Examples are Krakatoa in Indonesia, Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines, and Mt. St. Helens in Washington state, USA.

How a Reef is Made

2008-12-19T13:07:00.000-08:00

It is fun to learn about coral reefs. This graphic shows how a reef is made. It starts as a fringing reef, then it is called a barrier reef, and finally it becomes an atoll.
Tiny animals build rocky cups for their homes with minerals in the sea. When they die, a new polyp builds on top of the old cups and a huge reef is made. This takes many, many years.

Coral animals are animals with stinging cells in their tentacles to catch prey. They are like jellyfish and sea anemones.
