Exploring and Re-enacting

So, me and a friend when to the Exploratorium for the day and then just this weekend we were Civil War Re-enacting (which I didn't get a lot of pictures). I got braces on Wednesday which have been very painful and a mouthful. So I guess I should get on with the pictures. :) I will start with the Exploratorium and then move on to the Civil War. So here we go!

 Here's where we sat down to eat lunch and I had to take a picture because the of big fluffy clouds!



This guy had been working on this for I think about 30 years! It is all made out of toothpicks and he's still not done! Yikes!


 We were almost to the Ghirardelli place but we made sure we stopped to rest since it took us quite a while to get there!

 Waiting for our ice cream......

And it came! Yay!


Sorry there wasn't very many pictures of that day. :(

 I had to throw in this yummy milkshake that my mom made because it was so good!

 On the way to the re-enactment

 The clouds were amazing driving up there

 One of the pictures that I'm proud of! Even my mom said she was impressed!

 The sign on our tent

 This is where I hung out most of the two days

 Some games. Graces is the hoop and sticks and then the other one is cup and ball which is quite fun!

 Pots 

 Some cups

 Our lantern 

 Our camp

 I was playing around with different shots

And last but not least, a picture that I drew while I was there. I made it using pastels that I brought with me and I think I'm going to hang this one of the wall! 


So that is all for today, I will post again when I have more pictures! :)

Instagram

So, I don't really have a lot to blog about so I thought I would share a couple of my Instagram pictures with you! So here we go!

This is the sunset view from my bedroom window
It rained! 
The polar bear I drew for art

The sunset on the way home from drama
I looked ahead a bit in our calendar and this was one of the holidays.. I couldn't help but think of the song "Do You Want To Build A Snowman." It would be do you want to burn a snowman! 
We had some fun with the pancake batter
Did you know that Esther 8:9 is the longest verse in the Bible? 
I have loved reading this devotion! It has been so much fun!

This was one weird holiday that I wouldn't want to celebrate
What do you call a seagull that flies over the bay? A bagel!! Lol
Just a little snack while doing school. Those s'more goldfish are addicting!
You can normally find little (or big) doodles on my school papers and work books
This is the case I want to get for my new iPod touch!


Well, that's all for today! Once I have more pictures to put up I will post again or if something exciting happens. Oh! That reminds me! My brother and dad both applied for jobs at Compassion International. As much as I think it would be cool I really wouldn't like to leave California to move all the way to Colorado. I would miss all my friends and church family! But I guess if it's God's will that we move there then I'm just going to have to suck it up and be okay with it. 

Until next time!

New Years Day

So the pictures on here aren't in order and I apologize for that. Like I had said in my last post my computer has been acting up. But here are some pictures from today!

Today was just a relaxing day. We just hung around the house and outside. My mom was knitting, my dad took a nap and me and my brother shot the BB gun and the bow outside.

So here are some pictures of what we did today and just some random things :)



 These are my glasses which I lose all the time. I didn't know where they were 3 times yesterday and then once today. Thankfully I was able to find them all the times I lost them.

 And here is just a cool shot of my computer... I was messing around with the flower setting on there.

 Here is what we had for breakfast this morning! Pancakes! Pancakes are probably my second favorite breakfast. Waffles would have to be my first because they are just so good!

 Here is also another part of breakfast. Now I think this is a really good shot. It could almost be in a cookbook! ;)

 We started our new calender! So of course the first day is New Year's Day. But I'm excited to see what comes up next!

 We love lighting candles during the winter time! This one is special though. We put melted wax into some of our teacups and put a wick in there and now my mom uses them around the house.

 This year I was able to use pastels and I learned about how wonderful they are! I love being able to mix them together with other colors and be able to make a whole new color. So here is one of the first pictures I did. It was for the art book that I am going through for school and I didn't use the same color for shading so the nose is a little dark looking... But it's alright. And I liked it enough to put it up on my wall.

 Here is all the things that I am going to be using for my 'hoofs' for the play that I'm in. Now you might be wondering how I'm going to do this so I will post a picture of the finished product when I get them finished. I'm excited to see how they turn out!

 Now this is a cool little thing that I have started. I don't remember where I had heard of it but I thought that it would be fun to write letters to my future husband. So when I get married he can read them. I thought it would be fun to do! I just write about how my day went and what has been going on that day. I have been enjoying it but the thing is that I have to remember to write them! Oh! And I numbered them so that they are in order, since I have just been sticking them inside my hope chest and I don't really have a special container for them.

 My socks don't match! I do this all the time because I have all my socks in one drawer and they aren't all with their pairs. So if you see me I just might be wearing non-matching socks. :)

Here is my brother's Red Rider. This is what we were using to shoot boxes out in the backyard. It's a fun way to get good at aiming and to get some fresh air! I had fun kinda hanging out with my brother this afternoon.

And I'm sad to say that Vinnie, my rabbit, died this summer. We had to put him down because we think he may have had a stroke and he couldn't move his whole left side. We will miss him very much because he was my first pet and he was a very kind one.


So that is what happened today! Again, I hope you enjoyed reading about my day and what I did! I hope to post another post again soon. Hopefully it doesn't end up being months before I end up doing another one. :)
