My past Halloween Costumes

My race track

I got the idea to build this track from when I went to my friend Christopher's house. We made the same thing but out of sand. When I got home, I just started building this. I started by gluing a bunch of pieces of scrap wood together. Then I made the track out of chopsticks. I made one tunnel that didn't work. I had to take that apart and build a different one. The tunnel fell apart because I didn't have any supports. It just kind of collapsed. I also put clay on it to make a mountain and that was what made the tunnel collapse. It was too heavy. I took the clay off and then put supports next to it that I'm going to glue the top of the tunnel too. Then I'll add the clay again to make it look like a tunnel going through a mountain. A river and a bridge is also on it. I made a suspension bridge with triangle supports. All that I have left to do is fix the tunnel, put the clay back on top and paint it. I might make some trees and add those.

Pumpkins

The pumpkins that you see in the picture, my brother and I carved last night. the one with three yes is supposed to be an alien. I carved it myself. I also carved a little one myself.

Our trip to the Seattle Zoo

This was our trip to the Seattle Zoo. If you have been, I hope you have seen the Red Panda. It is the cutest. There is a Zoomasium which is a place you get to play around with a slide, rocks and a cave that you can go through. There is even a place for littler kids to play. There is a tree that you can climb all the way to the top. There were lots of really cool animals that I have never seen before such as the Red Panda, Jaguar, Gorillas, Toucans and a Lion.

As you can see from the pictures there is a baby gorilla. The day we went it turned one year old. One of the gorillas was throwing up and then eating it. The zookeeper said it was a bad habit. It was really gross. The girl next to us said that it had done it 10 times while they were there.

One of a Kind Bike Show

My Grandpa, Dad, brothers and friend Caleb's family went to a bike show on Saturday. There was a tricyle that was motorized and it was so big you had to stand on it. It could hold two regular size bikes on the back. There were lots of hand made bikes.
