Birthday Beach Blast

  
         On May 5th, 2018, we celebrated my sister's 10th birthday. We invited some of our closest friends to Sea-Bright Beach., an awesome beach right next to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which you can see from the beach. The party was fun. We ate chips and sandwiches, and my sister opened presents from all of her friends.
What you see in the picture above might stump you. Well, I can explain.
About halfway through the playing and fun,  we noticed a sad seal peering at us through the waves. As if it was a Selkie, it dove through the water and slid up onto the smooth, sandy shore. Its large black eyes seemed to cry without tears. A crowd of different people gathered around the frightened seal. The lifeguard had to shout, " BACK AWAY FROM THE SEAL, PLEASE!" All the people had different opinions about why the seal was on land. Most of the people in the crowd agreed that the seal was not itself, including us. About an hour later, a crew of Animal Rescue people crowded around the seal, and in about fifteen minutes, had cornered it into a huge animal cage.
That was the main event of the day, besides the tide pools at the beginning of the day.
But all too soon the sun sunk low in the sky, and we all packed up and walked out of the entrance to the beach. We stopped at Taqueria Vallarta for dinner. It was a wonderful birthday beach blast with friends, and family!

LAKE CHABOT, WHERE THE MOUNTAIN LIONS ROAM!

On the 7th and 8th of April 2018, my family went on a vacation to a camping spot we all know and love. Anthony Chabot is a beautiful eucalyptus forest encased by gorgeous rolling green hills. We call the campground: Lake Chabot, because there is a amazing green lake that laps the land below the campground. Yet, the lake is diagnosed with a sort of lethal allergy that prohibits swimming. Too bad, you might be thinking. But, its not that bad. There is hikes that loop about the campground, and being close to Tilden Little Farm, we went there and hiked a majestic hike called Sylvan Trail, (we suffered much gobs of mud from the rain) that led us to an stony overlook that covered all of San Francisco, the Golden Gate, and more! Now, you might know what to do when you see a mountain lion sashaying across your path in he wilderness. You make yourself as loud and big as possible (even if it includes taking your shirt off) and throwing items at it until it runs away. This probably won...

Google Translate a Song In 5 Easy Steps!!!

Hi everybody! Today I'm back with a post about one of my latest favorite past-times: Translating popular theme songs, pop songs, and others through Google Translate several times. It may seem confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard. I will be revealing the simple steps to creating your new song . .   First you have to remember you are using Google Translate, one of the most unreliable Google apps. When you want to say " Hey, how are you?" in a different language, you might as well be saying: " Hey, goldfish socks?" Usually Google Translate translates correctly. But not always. I have experienced this myself with using Swedish. So to prove Google Translate wrong, several people have taken a popular song (I did Stressed Out, by Twenty Øne Piløts) and translated it through several different languages, then back into English. The results are hideous! Not only can somebody not recognize the song, the lyrics are completely crazy! Fo...

Craft Extravaganza!!!

Every year around early October the Modesto Library hosts an amazing craft fair with over 50 kids every year selling homemade crafts. We tried hard to do it last year, but time crept up and ran out very fast. So that was unfortunately unsuccessful. But this year, we started creating about August and kept it up until October 14th, 2017, the date of the Craft Fair. Our friends decided to do it too, and created lots of crafts each, and so did we. I created my shop--" The Hobo's Lair", and weaved potholders galore (the most unpopular too) and themed bookmarks galore (those sold fast but in slow amounts of time) and recycled t-shirt bags, (which sold like hotcakes!) My sister sold Thwaps in the "Thwap Shop", a copyrighted-(don't tell!) creature from the Wingfeather Sagas by Andrew Peterson. They are pom-pom creatures with google eyes and paper/plastic/wooden/fabric and more accessories. They sold, " Like moldy hotcakes!" she later announced, bu...
