Silly Story
One day, while Sherlock Holmes was chasing a robber, he accidentally crashed into our classroom. He investigated and then he explained silly things about crime. Finally, my teacher made him go outside and go back to his agent office.
When Sherlock Holmes went back, his partner Dr. Watson was waiting for him. Dr. Watson said, "You have a cold, Sir." So Sherlock Holmes stayed in bed for the rest of the week!

If I Had a Million Dollars
If I had a million dollars, I could buy a lot of stuff if I wanted to, but I would save it instead.
If I wanted to buy stuff, I would take ten dollars and use it for my book fair money. If I didn't want to do that, I would go and buy ten great chapter books with twenty-seven dollars.
Or, I could buy a pair of ice-skates for ice-skating, or I could buy a detective halloween costume with thirty dollars. Or I could buy a box of legos for fifty-two bucks! Or I could buy a emerald diamond ring for my mom. And I could buy a cell phone for six thousand and fifty bucks!
That's all I could think of for now.

Crab Fishing
It was a sunday morning. I got up late but I was going to catch crabs with my mom and dad and my grandmother.
We caught for about twenty-eight crabs. Our ice box was nearly filled up! We had to catch crabs that was longer than 4 inches plus or 4 inches.
Each net, we catch nothing, or one or two right sized crabs and plenty of small crabs. Some were really yummy but we couldn't catch it. It was against the law.
(Now I have to eat dinner. Bye-bye!)
(Hi again! I finished the best meal I had in two months. I'm going back from talking about my first crab catching adventure.)
To pull up the rope attached to the net, you have to pull it up quickly. Or else the crabs inside the net will escape. When we take out some crabs from inside of the net, we have to use oven mitts because if you don't, the crabs sometimes will pinch you. I put two crabs in the ice box and it didn't pinch me! Oh yeah!
I forgot to tell you guys how you throw the net back down again. Make sure the end of the rope is tightly tied to something. And then grab both ends of your net and throw it into the water but try to make it spin a little bit. But don't throw it too far because if you do, the net won't reach the bottom and the crabs couldn't get in.
When we got back home, we planned to eat the crabs. My dad was washing the crabs. When he was about to kill one, the crab pinched him on the third finger. He got one of those tiny bandaids to put on his finger. We had a great dinner. I ate the biggest crabs. My dad ate the crab who bit him. I guess he got revenge.

Halloween
It's almost Halloween! It's just sixteen days till Halloween. I'm gonna be a detective for Halloween and my friend Lucy is gonna be a vampire.I'd go and investigate her to see if, she stole anything. Just kidding!
I would need lots of dark clothes to be a detective. Dark everything! I would also need a magnifying glass. Plus, a notebook with a pencil. Oh, yeah! I would also need a badge. I'm not gonna try to look suspicious. That's all I could think of.
Happy Halloween!

My Favorite Book Series
My favorite book serie is A to Z Mysteries written by Ron Roy. The A to Z Mysteries are really fun to read. They are fun and exciting. I read most of them. Yesterday, I checked out twenty two books. I read all the A to Z Mysteries I checked out. My favorite one was The Empty Envelope because Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose found a really valuable upsie down Jenny stamp. It costs for five thousand dollars!!! Otto Bird stole it from Clementine, a famous painter from New ?York. Otto B. tried to mail it to Doris Duncan but he mailed it to Dink. Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose found the Jenny Stamp under three sunflower stamps. At the end of the story, Otto B. and Doris D. got put to jail.

Holidays
I like holidays. My favorite holidays are Halloween and Christmas. In halloween, my favorite part was when we go trick-or-treating. My favorite part of Christmas is because I get a lot of presents. I like it because Santa Claus zooms around.

Day 6, Lake Tahoe, Califronia
I am now back in Lake Tahoe, California. I'm in the Highland Inn.
Before I came back here, I was in Salt Lake City, Utah. I figured out how it got its name. When on the highway, I saw patches of white, sparkly salt dried from lakes. I also saw the factory that makes the Morton salt.
I'll bet that the Morton salt that we eat and pour on our food came from there. My mom told me that she thinks that that's the use. They dry out lakes near the factory, but I don't think so. I think that the factory guys can't really control it because I think the sun's shine makes 'em dry 'cause it's hot there.
We all got off at a rest station. It still had salt all over it. But, it was better than the salt we touched last time, My dad and I saw a land sail-boat driving through the great whit land of salt. My dad took a few pictures. And then I walked in the salt with my grandmother. After that, my grandmother sprayed the ground with a hose.
The I put my feet in it. It'll clean my feet before we get into our Idaho license plate rental car that my dad rented. Before that, I licked the salt. It tasted salty. But, guess what, I've got to go.

Day 5 Salt Lake City, Utah
I am in Salt Lake City, Utah again. Before I came back, we went to another national park.
But first we have to cross Yellow Stone Park to get there. We saw bisons crossing the street agian. Those bisons looked like, well, buffalos. They had hair on them on the front side of their bodies. The back side of their bodies are like shaved off. There were little bisons too. Two were chewing on an old tree trunk.
After we left the bisons, not after a while, we got to a place called "Jenny Lake". We had lunch there on a picnic table. After lunch, we went hiking. My mom found a stick for me to use, like a hiking stick.
When we got to the pond, we took lots of pictures and shooted lots of videos. My grandmother and I compared throwing rocks into the pond to see who threw the furthest. It was like a tie. Everyone who came with us washed our hands in the clean water.
My dad went away with the video camera to shoot videosl of the waterfall, but instead of getting the waterfall in, he got a picture of a bear climbing on the mountains!
While I was playing by the water and my grandfather was sliding a stick against a big, gray rock, a little wave from the lake came upon the shore, I quickly climbed on the rocks back to the shore. My grandfather gave the stick for me to use as a hiking stick.
When I went back to the path to the parking lot, I went to the bathroom. I met my dad coming out from the men's bathroom. My mom brough me, my grandmother and herself ice-cream. I got a M-n-M one. My mom got a strawberry shortcake one and grandmother got a drumstick popsicle.
But I gotta go!!!

Day 4 West Yellow Stone, Montana
Hi! I'm still in the same hotel and place as yesterday, you remember? Well, as I said yesterday, I was gonna go to the Old Faithful. Everyone else calls it the "the Old Faithful", but I call it "the Old Playful". The Old Playful I mean the Old Faithful. The Old Faithful can go higher than a small mountain!!! Actually, many can. I also admit that many can be higher than two trees. Today, not very long after noon, I watched the Old Playful I mean Faithful explode, I saw a spring called "Chinese Spring". I think it should be called "Chinese Pot" instead of "Chinese Spring" because it bubbling inside the hold and there's a small hole for the handle.
Before we were about to go back to the huge inn, it snowed!!! The road was covered with snow and so were the car's windows. After we got a little further away from the top of the mountain, it didn't snow anymore. But some of the snow fell from the Idaho car we rented.
When we got back to the inn, we had pizza for dinner! But, now bye!!

Day 3 Yellow Stone, Montana
I am in West Yellow Stone, Montana.
Today, I went into the mountains. I saw lots of animals. Even a moose crossing the street!!! We saw many bisons. In the car, we saw a small coyote beside the road. We saw two black bears. In the car, we also saw three deers beside the road.
When we got to the geysers, they smelled like rotten eggs. Geysers have a mineral inside them called "sulphur". Sulphur is liquid yellow stuff. I saw'em.
There's a geyser called "Old Faithful". It's the world's most famous geyser. I'm gonna see it tomorrow. Geysers look like clouds of steam. My mom touched the geyser water. My mom said that the water is hot. I observed that the entrance of the geysers are pretty small. Sometimes when steam comes out of the hole, water shoots out of the hole along with the steam. Some geysers can be taller than two trees stacked together.
When we got back to our Inn which is called Days Inn, the room was really big. I like it. I need to go now.

Day 2 Salt Lake City, Utah
Bingham Copper Mine
I am at Salt Lake City, Utah. Today I went to the Bingham Copper Mine! I fell asleep during the way after lunch on the highway. My dad knew how to get there because we borrowed a street pilot.
When we got there, we followed a path to get a better view of the mine. We took lots of pictures. I took three small copper rocks. I compared my biggest one to the labels of a real big copper rock. It was almost as tall as me!!! I found two things that were the same. A clay something and something black. Then we went to the visitor center by the mine. I found some cool stuff and we watched a movie about copper. I thought it was cool. And then, we took pictures with one of those giant wheels of the huge truck that can carry three-hundred tons of stone! It was about two times taller than my dad!!!!
When we went back, we ate at a restaurant called "Kowloon Cafe". I ate some veggies, and eight potstickers. We all drank ice water. I drank the fastest because I was thirsty. And we drove to our hotel called Homestead Hotel. It was really cool. I found an iron and an ironing board in the closet! When we come back from Yellow Stone Park, we're gonna stay here again.
I had lots of fun today.

Day 1 Yellow Stone Park
I am at Reno, Nvevad right now. It's time for bed (almost), but I haven't even brushed my teeth yet. When I just go here at the Inn, I explored the room. Our Inn is called Days Inn.
After I watched television for a little while, we went to Circus, Circus - a bad place for me. Because I played a game that my dad made me try out a game that I didn't like, and I only got thirty tickets. And a woman gave me two tickets, and my parents, my grandparents and I found five more tickets. When we went to the booth where you use your tickets to get toys. I only had thirty-seven tickets. And some cost for more than a thousand tickets!!! So, I got only candy, which I don't like. It was a bad day alreaedy except when I rode in a small train around the Circus Circus building.
I never want to go there again.

The Exploratorium Summer Camp
In summer break, I went to the Exploratorium Summer Camp. I had fun.
On the first day, we did a fun activity. We did an egg drop! You need two pieces of newspaper, and unboiled egg,a piece of string, about an inch of tape, a pair of scissors, an egg carton and a plastic bag. Cut a lump from the egg carton too. Try to protect the egg the best you can, because you're gonna get up high some where, and drop the egg with it's protection! Cut your protection and, if it didn't break, hold the egg up high and say "I'm the egg-master!"
Everyday at lunch, we go to the beach to eat.

My Wild Adventure
One day I was running to the library. Suddenly, when I walked in, I noticed a surprise I had never expected to see. I looked through carefully. There was piles of books and more books!
Then I heard a soft raspy voice behind me. I recognized it was the librarian's assistant. He said slowly that those books were for anyone who wants one. he said I could look through. And to my surprise, those were all of my favorite book series. There was the Magic Tree House, Jigsaw Jones Mysteries, The Bailey School Kids and Encyclopedia Browns.
And I ran home with a pile of books in my arms.
