The Art of The Brick at the Pacific Science Center

School is out and to celebrate Andy, Elliot and I (plus our Moms) went to the Pacific Science Center.  Their special exhibit was the Art of the Brick.  

 Girl with the Pearl Earring

 A lego rose window.

 American Gothic (I'm not touching him, I am just pretending to....)

Andy, Elliot and I are trying to look like this Easter Island statue.  This piece is massive!

 This is one of Dad's favorite pieces of art work.

 Me being silly again!

 The T-Rex was huge!!!!

 Elliot thinking.....

 I am tree hugging.

Andy and I hit the International Fountain after lunch.  Unfortunately, I did not last long because I got really cold.  It was a fun day out!

Book Report & Marketplace at KMVA

 Besides an animal report, we had a book report presentation to give.  I did a lego diorama of a scene from: "The Land Of Stories-The Wishing Spell".  I built a scene of Queen Red Riding Hood running up the stairs in a dilapidated castle.  The stairs are crumbling beneath her as she tries to escape from the big bad wolf gang.

 I like doing book reports.  Mom said: Good thing because you will do more in 4th grade.

 This year was my first marketplace.   Kids get to make things to sell.  They earn KMVA bucks.  I spent most of the money I earned on games.

 Elliot had a toss the ball in the hole game.  I had the second best record of winning.

 Andy had a ring toss.

 Other kids drew things or made bracelets, had food etc...

 After market place, the 3rd graders got to goof off.  Only a day and a half of school left!

9th Birthday Party

My birthday is on a Tuesday this year, so we had a party on Sunday, June 5th.  IT also happened to be the hottest day of the year!  Once again, my party was at The Tag Zone, a nerf gun arena in Des Moines, not far from the marina.

 Dad played too. 

 We had to drink a lot since it was so hot.  Mom served popsicles as well as cupcakes. 

 I had friends both from Kent Mountain View and karate.  I invited 5 girls, but only Evelyn came.  

 

 After the party, my local grandparents came over for desert and Boccie Ball.

It was a good day.  On Tuesday, I will celebrate my birthday in Miss Newby's classroom. 

Competition Day

Competition Day is one LOOOONNNGGGG day at the dojo.  We get to compete with our friends at karate and get medals for first, second and third place for sparring, wrestling, kata, fitness etc.  I only competed in fitness and sparring.  That took 5 hours.  I was done.

I took gold in both my events!  I competed against kids my own age.

 I read a book while I waited.  Bindi sat next to me.
