Washington D.C. Again...

Today was my second day at Washington D.C. First we walked to Capitol Hill, where they make the laws. Then we got got a really cool tour. We even got headphones and we were tour group two. First we watched a movie about Capitol Hill. Then we got a tour in some places that were allowed for the tour, like a chamber, the rotunda, or the dome, and the crypt. After the tour, we went went to the library of congress, which was very big, and the restaurant in Capitol Hill. after lunch, we went to the in Capitol Hill, and it was pretty fun. Then we walked to an art gallery. On the way, I spotted an ice cream truck and we got snow cones. When we were done with the snow cones, we went in the art gallery. There were lots of paintings and sculptures. Then we went to the Natural history museum. There were lots of cool animal stuff there. I even bought a bag of gems from the gift shop! Bye :)

Our trip to Washington D.C.

I went to Washington D.C from California on August 14th. The flight was about 5 hours long. On the flight, I ate a lot of stuff and taught my mom how to make paper stars. Washington D.C. Is in east coast, so the time is three hours later than California. After the flight, we rode a train to pick up our suitcases. Then my mom's friend Max picked us up and we went to his house to live with him for two days. By the time we got to his house, he was very tired because he lives in Virginia and his house was about one hour away from the airport.
Now it's my third day in Washington D.C, and we are living at a hotel now. We went to Washington Mall today. We went to Lincoln Memorial. I learned that there were 36 columns in it, because when he died there were 36 states. We also went to Vietnam Memorial. They lost the Vietnam War. 58,000 people died!
We also went to a castle, museums, and other things. Bye :)

Casti Camp: Parent D

Today was the last day of Casti Camp, Parent Day! First we went in the Chapel, the special place in Castilleja that we have meetings and do special stuff. So we went inside and looked at campers do plays, dance, and do many things in their different classes. Then we went to snack and I had caramel corn. We also got a lot of people to sign our camp shirts. After snack time, we went back to the Chapel and watched a video about camp. After that, we had a special time with our groups. Our counselor, Gabi gave us candy and a message. Then we went to lunch. I had spagetti. After lunch, we played games and we had to meet our parents at 1: 15 at the meeting circle. We sang songs and then we went to first period, but every class was only 15 minutes. At first period, Jungle Quest, we did the wizard's challenge, parents vs. campers. Campers won! Then I went to second. It was Smoothie Shop! I made a smoothie called Blackberry Bliss. It was pretty good. Then we went to third period, which was Flossy. I taught my mom how to make some bracelets, like Candy Stripe and Staircase. After that, we went to fourth, Graphic Design. I showed my mom what we have been working on so far. Finally, we went to fifth, Hogwarts. We did wizarding duels and our house, ravenclaw won the house cup! We got sillybands. Then we went home.

The End :)

rock climbing

I went rock climbing on Sat. with squirrel, witch, and a few other people and their moms. Oops, I forgot my mom. It was on a mountain called i-don't-know-which-mountain-mountain. We got some rock climbing gear. First we went hiking on a trail until we got to the rock we were climbing on, Goat Rock. It was fun but a little scary if you looked down, which I did :[

It was my first time, so I didn't climb very high. A teacher helped me. After that we went to eat lunch. After lunch, we hiked to to another rock and climbed that too (not sure it was another rock). The teacher said it was easier but I didn't think so. It was more scary and reeeally felt bad. Then we went back to the parking lot and went home.

The End :)

Casti Camp second session

Sorry I written this thing like a week late... Cuz squirrel, witch, and me started Casti Camp like last Monday. I got better classes (my opinion) than last time. My first period was Jungle Quest, together with Witch. We did a really fun quest through the jungle to find treasure. ooh la la... Then I had second period, which was Smoothie Shop. We made healthy smoothies that were very yummy too. After that, it was third period, which was flossy. We made all kinds of cool friendship bracelets. After third period, it was fourth period, which was Graphic Design, with squirrel. We designed and made all kinds of cool stuff, like locker signs and party invitations. Last but not least, fifth period was Hogwarts!!! We were sorted like Harry Potter and blah blah blah...................

Great America

Today my friend Squirrel, me, and her mom went to Great America. First we went on the cable car. Then we went on one of my favorite rides, Psycho Mouse or something. It was really fun because turning and going up and down. Squirrel rode on the scariest ride in Great America!!!
It was called flight deck and you were hanged on the bottom of the thingy. There were lots of twisting and going around loops. I also liked Celebration Swings. It was many swings you can sit on. It turns and goes up, down, up, down...
When we had to go we each got an ICEE.

Today was field trip day @ castilleja camp. We went to the beach. It was really fun. But it was a long ride to the beach. We jumped the waves. 4 lunch I had bagel with cream cheese, apple juice, and chips. We also digged a deep hole and connected it with other holes. Then we had to go back. We had closing meeting. Then we went home.
