Signs

These signs are some of the funniest ones I have ever seen!!  I don't really know why you would want these in your town, but better safe then sorry right???   Enjoy!!!

Today

Today was pretty boring at school (isn't it always...sometimes :). Some highlights of this week was a 90 on a social test, 105 on a spelling test and an 85 on a reading packet. YAH!!! This weekend my mom, dad, and I are driving to Clevland, Ohio for a family party. TTYL :)

High speed photography

These high-speed photos are truly amazing. Everyone has seen the ones with the water splashing up but these are the BEST I have ever seen, (I am sure most of u can agree with me). All I can say about these photographers who took these photos is that they have a lot of patience. Enjoy

Weird pictures of animals

These animals are some of the coolest animals I have ever seen!! I don't think that for some of these get as close as the photographer did but oh-well. If you like what you see go to wiresmash.com - you can find mostly all the topics on here!!! Enjoy... :)

weird mustaches

Okay so when I saw this topic I thought it was wicked weird but cool. These people must own a lot of that mustache molding creamish stuff because for these pictures it looks like they really need it. I have no idea who these guys are or what's their deal but this is just plain weird. Hope you enjoy...

Dimitri Didorenko

Now this is just amazing!!! An artist thats blind made these beautiful paintings!!! The artists name is Dmitri Didorenko and he is really amazing!!! It takes a lot to make me say that since i am not a fan of going to art museums. Enjoy

shoes

Of-course we have all seen some pretty weird shoes once in a while!! We've seen the ones with the HUGE heel or the one with the pointiest toe ever. But i can bet you you have never seen anything like this!! Here are some pictures of the most funny, awkward, and weirdest shoes ever. ENJOY...









But my favorite is.....

Beijing LEGO olympics

These pictures were taking from the LEGO olympics in Beijing!!! They are amazing the best I ever saw. I didn't even know there was that many legos. Can't believe it didn't fall over while they were building it. This is very cool!!! ENJOY...

Easter Eggs

Since i was on vacation during Easter here is my Easter post!! I don't know where these are from but oh-well. These eggs i thought were some of the coolest i have EVER seen i am sure you can agree. I could never do this with my dye. I have to start practicing if i want my eggs to resemble these ones!!!

Update

Having great time in Victoria!! Today we are going to the B.C. museum. Very excited for fossils and rocks. Then we are going to have tea at our hotel which is apparently AMAZING!! Last but not least we MIGHT rent bikes and ride around, but we are not sire yet. Tomorrow we MIGHT go on a zip line, fingers crossed. Tomorrow at 6:00pm Victoria time (3 hours be-hind NY) we are taking a clipper to Seattle and then we have a plane to catch at 11:30 Seattle time (again 3 hours be-hind NY). We will first land in Chicago (2 hours be-hind NY) and then we will fly home. See everyone later!!

Bye-Bye or TTYL or if g'ma cook checked this TTFN!! :-)

Day 2

Day 2 has been awesome!!! We walked around and had some AMAZING food!!! YUMMY. Tomorrow we are taking a 30minute clipper to a little town off of Seattle.


TTYL!!! :-)

Everyone knows that oranges can be used for juice and for eating and me, i would know that they can be used for batteries. But now i have a question, did you ever think that oranges could be used for sculptures??? If you don't think that they
could ...i prove you wrong. Here are some pictures of a New Orleans parade that all of he sculptures were made out of oranges!!

Here are the pictures...

Up-Side Down House in Germany

Have you ever seen an upside-down house??? Well if you have not...now you have!!! Crazy people built a house entirely upside-down!!! The house is family-sized and was designed by Polish partners Klausdiusz Golos and Sebastian Mikicuk for the Edutainment exhibition company!! The house is furnished with chairs, tables, and carpets stuck to the ceiling!!

PLUTO - planet or no??

Since my parents said i have to update my blog everyday now and because nothing happened in school today i thought i would pick a random topic and start blogging the random topic for today is... PLUTO - planet or no??  For me i think pluto IS a planet.  The reason is it's has always been there (and it will always be there) it has always been called a planet and to me will always be a planet.  For some people they might not think pluto is a planet this is probably it IT IS TO SMALL.  Well i got a message for you BIG THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES!!!  Thank you!! Please leave a comment and say if you think pluto is a planet or not!!

Happy Ash Wednesday!!  Today going to a catholic school I had to go to church in the morning and then go to social studies.  That class was cut short since we had church.  After social we had library.  Thats always fun since its like a study hall where you can eat and talk.  Sounds good right?  Then we had math, not as fun as library but still fine.  LUNCH - Today I bought lunch and I got a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup.  Very good actually.  Next we had to go to music.  Not the best class but you can survive it.  Once music was over we got to go to gym to play kickball.  The team I was on won -  Wa-hoo!!  I guess thats goodbye for today!  Goodbye.

home sweet home

Hey everybody my mom, dad, and i are home safe and sound.  I am not enjoying the wonderful orange trees in Taledo but i'm enjoying the cold weather and the snow in Syracuse, New York!!      If you like coldness and all of the shoveling Syracuse, New York is the place for you. Blog to you later!!  Get it??

Hola from Spain (day 3)

Today was again a great day!  My mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, and I took a 30 minute train ride to a town called Toledo.  It was so cold in the morning since its more north than Madrid but it gets warmer when you hike up a lot of hills and it also gets warmer when you just plane out walk a lot.   Here are some pictures I took today.  Like I always say .... enjoy!!

Just one of the amazing buildings.

       Some of the many beautiful buildings

                   

       One of the beautiful streets in Toledo.

Tomorrow we are going to Seville another town in Spain.  Since it is south and closer to the equator it is going to be around 62 degrees there tomorrow.  Hip-Hip-Horray, WARM WEATHER for a true New Yorker!!  Adios. 8-)

     

hola from Spain (day 2)

Today we walked around a lot - such much that my pedometer broke.  These are some photos I took while walking.  Enjoy!

One of the beautiful streets in Madrid, Spain.

A smiley face of Spanish  olives  that I made!  Like it?

The symbol of Madrid... a bear climbing up a strawberry tree.
