Ride The Wind Day

My favorite online science blogger talked about a kite that was big enough to lift her students off the ground. I thought it was a funny story. Then one day we were at the park and I watched a kite drag a man across the field. I think he knew it would drag him because he wore knee pads. It was cool to watch it fly. I love when I learn stuff and then get to see it work. August 23 is Ride The Wind Day I really want to try it.

Mt Rubidoux Again

We got to go back to Mt Rubidoux Park this morning. We had to get up really early. I have so much fun up there. The view is amazing. The cactus are growing fruit. They are a really pretty purple color. There was an air show some where close and the planes flew over head. Some of them were awesome! 

Sailboats!

I love to go to the lake in the park. I really want to rent a boat and go out to the bird island. We can't go on it but there are lots of neat birds over there. Today we watched people in small sailboats sailing and fishing in the lake. They were so pretty!

Our Favorite Place to Visit!

Fairmount Park

Mom started going there when she was a little older than me. We love it. It has three lakes and lots of ducks and a pretty rose garden and the playgrounds are new and it has a splash pad. Sometimes my granny meets us there and we have lunch. It has lots of bridges too. I want to go fishing but we don't have poles. I want to go in the boats too. They look so fun. I meet lots of new friends every time I go there and I love to feed the ducks. There are always people selling food or ice cream or toys there too.

The ducks don't care where they go. If they want to be in the street we have to wait for them

Lots of places to have fun

I caught a picture of mom!

There is a big fishing bridge

With benches to sit on

There are lots of trees right out in the middle of the lake.

I love the waterfall

 

The one on the right is Old Man. Lots of the birds have names and some of them really know us

The roses are so pretty. There is a fountain and a place to get married there too.

Bunny Time!

Braveheart saw us across the park and came out into the field toward us. I have never seen any of the rabbits on that side of the track. I have found droppings so I know they go there. Just not when the park is full of people. A girl with a camera was there too and she chased him into the tunnel. We laid out the carrot and sat back. He came back a little later and brought two smaller bunnies with him. He is so brave, he comes right up almost to where we could touch him. I want to but mom still says not to. He likes to eat the little flowers in the grass better than the carrot. We took lots of video today even though we forgot the video camera

 

Clowning Around!

Last weekend mom and me saw a clown, Chiquilin  Chirolito, at the park making balloon animals. That is so neat. He let us take his picture and watch him work. I would love to learn how to do that. 

 

CIimb Every Mountain!

I did it! I finally climbed to the top of Mount Rubidoux. It been my summer dream. Dad and I hiked to the top. It's a three mile trail. We could see the burned patches from the firework show fires and there are coyotes up there. I even touched the cross and walked on the friendship bridge. You can see the whole city from up there and I saw the our park but I couldn't see our house.

 

 

Thanks Miss Linda!

My Mom's friend made another really neat picture for me. She is really talented. 

Summer's Not Hot!

Summer is hot really but they drained our pool to fix it so it's not much fun right now. We go to the park and the water park there and it's so so awesome playing with all the kids but it's more fun to swim. I hope it gets fixed soon.

 

 

Granny Is The Best

Tuesday I got to go to Bunny park with my granny. She is my favorite person ever. She even helped me with my science video. It was the best day of summer. You can see the video on the Science is Fun page.

Boys of Summer!

Summer is about baseball. Our favorite team (The Twins) aren't doing real good right now but they have great players. All my cousins are really good at baseball but it's hard for me. I got to go to the batting cages a while ago and this weekend I got my own bat. It's purple like mom's favorite color. Now I can practice at the park and maybe get good at sports.
