National Park Fun


   If you are a 4th grader, you are in luck. You can get a pass that allows you and your family into any National Park for free. Go here to get your pass now. We used our pass to go to Muir Woods near San Francisco.

   At Muir Woods, we hiked up mountains, saw a tree thousands of years old, smelled the fresh evergreen air and saw God's beautiful wonders and creation all over the park. When we entered, we entered a world of green green green. You could hear the sound of birds all throughout the forest.

   The other cool thing I found out about was the Junior Ranger Program. Using this national parks program, kids can fill out a few papers, say a pledge, receive a badge, and maybe a park ranger will even sign a certificate for them. When we said the pledge, the lady told us to repeat after her, and we ended up saying, "And I promise to eat all the veggies on my plate." I enjoyed Muir Woods!

The Visit to the Oral Surgeon

Image
Tuesday morning I woke up a little scared because that day I was going to an oral surgeon. I could not have breakfast because I was taking a certain sleepy medicine. My mom took me to the surgeon's  office where we sat in the waiting room. I got called back to the room where they gave me a shot which made me fall asleep. The oral surgeon pulled out 6 teeth: 2 baby teeth, 2 adult teeth, and 2 teeth that were in the gums. 3 of the teeth broke while the surgeon was pulling them out. They sewed my gums so that food would not get stuck. They woke me up, but I was still groggy. I woke up to my mouth full of gauze*. The gauze helped the bleeding to stop. I was helped to the car, got home, and crashed on the couch. I slept on and off. I was on liquids all day and the next 2 days squishy foods like: applesauce, jello, ice cream, mashed potatoes, and other stuff. A week after the surgery, I had to take a mouthwash that did not taste good. The threads they used to sew my gums together,...

An Awesome Jumping Time

Image
For my birthday, I went to the world's greatest trampoline park, Rockin' Jump . It is a huge room full of trampolines and games. There are areas for dodgeball, basketball, and even a rock wall .  What would I do  first? I went to the trampolines first and did tricks and flips. Then I went to the rock wall. It was full of obstacles, because it seems as though some rocks are missing. I also went to play dodgeball. The dodgeball is tough because there are a small amount of balls and a lot of kids, so I had to be careful. If you like trampolines this is the place to go. It is exciting and there's lot to do. So please come and see the fun for yourself.

Kids Who Change the World

"Ryan and Jimmy: And the Well in Africa That Brought Them Together" by Herb Shoveller This book was cool! Ryan, who was 7, raised money for a well in Africa. His pen pal Jimmy, who was 8, was one of the African kids who would walk miles to find water that was dirty. But when Ryan's well was built, he had fresh water and it took less time. Seems unbelievable, but it's a true story. I hope when you read it you enjoy it as much as I did. ENJOY!!!!!!!!! Check out my Goodreads profile where I review excellent chapter books.
