Year: 2014

Today we went out to Ft. DeSoto Park to take some photos for the upcoming Marine Ecology contest for 4H. Here are some of my favorites.

We stumbled upon a fun event at Clearwater Main Library. They had a bunch of tables set up and each table was a different theme of something you could learn how to do. I love learning how to frost and decorate cupcakes.

and eat them!

We learned about shells.

We learned how to fold the American flag.

We learned to sew buttons.

I learned to tie a bow-tie.

How handsome!

We learned about fencing and sword fighting.

We learned how to change a bicycle tire.

There were lots and lots of other tables. What a great event!

Today was International Talk Like a Pirate Day. If you came to Krispy Kreme dressed like a pirate you got a free dozen donuts. Mom, E and I dressed up and drove to St. Petersburg. We got our 3 dozen donuts.

Before we got home E and I had ate over 1 dozen. By dinner two dozen were gone.

We had tummy aches all night. But it was WORTH IT!

Today we decided to call 4H Work Day. We started in the morning with working in our Pre-Flight Aerospace books. We made rockets out of marshmallows.

We made flight flip books.

We learned about the principles of flight.

Later at our club meeting I ran the meeting.

We did an activity on race cars.

I worked with Lex.

Our team did a great job and we didn’t come in last place even though we had a VERY expensive car to produce.

Our Legoland passes are good for a few more months but we never got over to the water park all summer. It is only open on weekends now so we braved the weekend crowds and headed out. We rode a lot of rides as we made our way to the back of the park to splash in the waters.

We played in the water park for several hour and loved all the water tube rides and water slides. Then off to Chima World to get wet again and see if we could find any characters. We found Laval and snuck up on him for a big hug!
