Rube Goldberg Machine

Today our team (me, Addy, and Alex) "The Bear Trappers" showed off our Rube Goldberg Machine.  My job was to hit the marble with the binder clip, watch it go down the track and tube, knock over the blue blocks and trap the bear.  It took a few times but our team finally got it!

California Girl

This weekend we took a road trip along the coast to see where Blackerella and her posse were born in Lompac, which just so happens to also be the Flower Seed Capital of the World.  We saw the amazing Pacific Ocean, thousands of elephant seals, waded in the ocean, and sang a few silly songs along the way and back.

Surf's up.

When Mommy Laura asked me what I wanted to do on Mother's Day, I told her I wanted to go to the beach.  So Sunday morning we headed out on the bus to Ocean Beach and had a great time building sand castles and getting wet.  I brought home beautiful sand dollars and some sea glass.  

Chicken Egg-spert

My final science project presentation is coming up in a few weeks.  My topic is "Chickens"  and  I have been self declared as the Alta Vista School Resident Chicken Egg-spert.  In a few weeks we are hoping to make a trip to the farm where Blackerella, Fuzzy, Nugget, and Goldie were all born. 

Skirt

This weekend we made a skirt from a pattern out of my new Sewing Book for a play I am in this week.  I am "fire" (naturally, of course). 

Bike Ride

This morning Mommy Laura and I rode our bikes to McLaren Park for a Pancake Breakfast.  I rode all by myself on my own bike.  I conquered the hills, the streets, and the stop signs.  (I was pretty proud of myself)

Lawrence Hall of Science Trip

This past Friday Mommy Laura and I went with Daddy Pat into Berkeley.  He went to work and we headed up to the Lawrence Hall of Science.  I had a great time there and am looking forward to spending 2 weeks of camp again there this year.
