Goodbye NYC Hello San Deigo!

Last Wednsday I left New York and came home to San Diego!  First we left in a car and went to JFK.  Next we waited through security and only the parents needed to take their shoes off next we left on a bus to terminal 30 and waited twenty mienuts before boarding the plane.  My dad had sighned us up for delta miles right before the flight so when we got to San Diego we were each at 2,400 somthing miles.  The flight was 6-7 hours long and we landed midnight NYC time!  Finaly, our grandparents came to pick us up and we went home!

Filming Away!

Today I went to central park and filmed some scenes for my movie that I'm making on NYC.  But first I went to a water park on the roof of The Natinal History Museum.  The what my mom calls "waterpark" isn't a park at all it's only three sprtsirs on vary little grass.  BORING.  The sites that I filmed were turtle pond, the lake, sheep meadows, and alot more.  Turtle Pond had alot of turtles and I tuched one!  You needed to find one, attract it, and touch it!  It is not as easy as it seems though that's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We leave tommarow for san diego (AKA Home) so I need to get a good night's sleep so bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Day at Central Park

Yesterday I went to Central Park with my mom, two brothers,and sister.  We went to sheep meadows (a place in Central Park) first and had a picnic there on the grass.  We had Subway sandwiches witch were delicious (mine had melted cheese, salami, pepperoni, lettuce, and choped tomato) , apple juice, and water.  When we finished eating we played games like tag, tackel, red light green light, and find my mom's iPhone4 that she lost in the grass.  I won at the last game :-) !  Once we were done playing in sheep meadows we left to go get some ice cream (I got a mango popsicle) but right before we left I sketched the tree that we picniced under and my sketch came out just beutifuly.  After Ice Cream we went to go ride our scooters and bikes.  We were originaly going to go to the water park but Evan and Alex my brothers fell fast asleep so we went home.

Bowling

Two days ago I went bowling with my mom, my dad, my brothers and sister, my mom's friend (Tara) and her three kids Ryan, Jake, and Alex.  It was my mom's friend's kids first time bowling so oviously they didn't win.  Insted my 2nd to youngest brother won.  I got last beause I tried without the bumpers and everyone else even the adults used them.  Well, the adults ony played for part of the three games but they still used the bumpers for the little part that they played.  Once we finished we went to the arade and played games I earned 918 tickets so I got some great prizes.  I got a puppybank, a long rope of nerds, a huge toy soldier, and a wall-walking spider.  Then we went home foreba great meal.

The Lion King

Two days ago I went to The Lion King show on brodway and it was so much fun!  The coustumes were amasing!  The Giraffes were people on stilts ocvered in a giraffe costume with no peep holes so they couldn't see!  They just walked straight and hoped to get to the other side without bumping in to people or falling!  And they succeeded!  Next there were the elephants wicth were amasing!  They were as big as a  big jeep and inside them were two standing people with heavey gray boots that look like  vary deitailed elephant feet.  The outside of the coustume was made out of stands of sandpaper.  The middle didn't have silk on it but the rest did.  The tusks were made of paper-mache and same with the trunk.  Then came the gazels and all the other animals but there are so many that  I can't list them all.  But, there is one more i'd like to tell you about.  His name is Zazu the horbill.  During the show he was allways making the crowd laugh out loud.  For instance, once when he thought he was fired he mumbled under his breath and said, "(humph) I would'nt get treated this way in Marry Poppins." another time when everyone was singing he sang supercalafragalisticcrispyalidosios.

The Guggenheim

Yesterday I went to the Guggenheim with my mom, two brothers, my sister, and my mom's mom and we saw some boring and some good art.  Most of it was boroing though :-(.  We started on the 6th floor and went down to the first.  We rented the audio tour, brought some paper and some amasing special pencils (to sketch the good paintings :-)!!!!), and got the guide book!  I sketched three paintings :-)!!!  One of them was a chineese woman, another was a solider, and the last was a french lady.  We did that last though.  First we needed to see and check out the boring paintings.  All they were were boring blue canvases with a little bit of black on them.  BORING.  When we were done we went home and played.

Museum and Toys!

Yesterday I went to a museum called The Museum of Art and Disign (MAD) and it was really cool!  First we went to the thearter and traded our big two perosn stroller for two tiny ones.  Then we went ot the 6th floor.  On the 6th floor there was an artist at work in his studio.  He was doing croche and he did a really good job!  He even tought me how!  Then we left the studio and went to see some art made of dirt,dust, bured wood, and all the disgusting things in the world on the 5th floor.  On the 4th and 3rd floor we saw all indian inspiered art, on the 2nd floor we saw alot of fancy jewlery, and on the 1st floor there was the gift shop and the entrance.  Then we left and went to FAO-schwartz and bough some amasing toys. I bought a hydropower set!  Then we went home for dinner!

The Met.

Yesterday I went to the met. with everyone but my dad and his praents.  We saw some amasing egyptin artefects and art, some buetiful nature in the zen garden, some amasingly old instruments like the first piano ever made, some vary famous art, some roman pottery, and alot of statues!  Then we had lunch.  We saw the sphinx and pharoh's tomb, some glass mosaic windows and van gough's flowers, and a bunch of other stuff.

The Jewish Museum

Yesterday I went to The Jewish Museum with my mom, my sister, my two brothers, and my mom's parents.  We sighned up for a kids tour so that was what we did first.  First on the tour we went out through the back and went to a special panting to examine it.  The tour guide gave us each a peice of paper and a miny golf pencil.  The paper was split in two with a black line and one side said, patterned and the other said, solid.  She told us to draw and/or write the patterned and solid items that we could find in the painting but, I just skethched the woman in the painting insted.  Next we went to a painting that aws really weird.  There was a huge person in the middile, a temple in the back and animals around the corners and sides.  She said that is was semetrical but I said that it was a few minimeters off.  But eather way she still gave us some pattern blocks to make something semetrical.  Then the tour ended.  We went to explore some things by ourselves but I really need to go now so bye :-)!

The Mets Game!

Yesterday I went to a baseball game with my family. And this time I really mean it! I went with my two brothers, my one sister, my mom, my dad, my dad's parents, and my mom's parents! I'm not joking! We walked to the subway station and got on a vary crowded subway. The subway only lasted about 5min. then we got on another subway that took us to City Field and it was empty and lasted about half an hour. When we finaly reached City Feild we went up to my dad's office (because he works for the Mets of course) and we each had our own secret drawer with a key for it and we kept our treats in our private drawers. My drawer had a pad of post-its, a bottle of apple juice, a silver pen, a t-shirt, two magazines, and a few mets cards to draw on. After playing for a while we went down and watched the game. We got popcorn, peanuts, cotten candy, and a huge chocolate chip cookie. During the 7th inning stretch my mom and I went to go buy me a wooden framed baseball card covered in glass. Later we left and found out that the mets lost 8-3 against the dodgers. Then we spent the rest of the day playing at home.

Ellis Island

Yesterday I went to Ellis Island with my dad's parents for the day and had so much fun!  First they picked me up at our apartment at 11:15 ish in a taxi and we went to the harbor, in a taxi.  When we got there we asked someone that worked there if we could get on board early but they said that we could not get on until 1:00 or get in line until 12:30!  Crasy!  So we had to wait on the bench till 12:30 to be the first in line :-(.  When we got on board after security we took the chair seats on the bottom and had a great view out of the open window behind us.  We took a bunch of pictures of The Statue of Liberty on the way and then we finaly docked at Ellis Island!  When we got there we took a bunch of pictures of the beutiful building and then went inside.  When we got inside we vary quickly went to a movie on Ellis Island and what the people had to do there.  Then after the 45min. movie we went to go rent some tourphones.  A tourphone is symylir to a  tiny radio that you type in the station and it will tell you about that station AKA something that will give you a mobile tour.   In the old days the people that came through Ellis Island had to take a medical check, a knolage test, and a bunch of other examines.  I need to go to bed now so that's it for today :-)!  See you tommarow for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brunch!

Yesterday I had brunch with my family and my mom's friends from collage and it was a blast!  We ate at our apartment and had bagles of many kinds with optinal cream cheese, apricots, strwberries, grapes, salami, prosciutto, and so much more that I can't possibly list it all:-)! While all the moms were chatting I took out my own made-up menu and brought it to the moms and they ordered something so I needed to cook it for them and all I earned was two dollars seventy five cents. At least it is enough to buy me an unc. Sacajawea dollar :-)! Then everyone left and we played the rest of the day!

Movie, Fair, what's next?!?!?!

Yesterday I stayed home till 3:30pm.  We played till 12:00 then had lunch and watched Madagascar 2 escape to africa.  It was really fun!  Then we went with our freinds to a fair and went on tons of cool rides.  I went on a ride that you lay down on a orange platform and they straped me on to the platform and I went around in cicles at 60 mph going up and down while swinging side to side.  And the bumper boats were moter powerd so you stepped on a peadl and you started up the engine and then you would bump the other boats around!  It was so much fun!  There were alot more rides that I went on but I can't list them all because I need to go :-(.  Bye :-(.

Big Day!

Two days ago in the morning my grandparents came to pick me and my sister and brothers up.  We drove up to the Amarican Girl Doll Shop and droped off my grandmother and my sister, and then we went to a coin and baseball store where we bought 9 presedental dollars and a rare signed baseball!  The presedents were, Jhon Adams, William Henry Harison, Jhon Tyler, James K. Polk, Zachary Taylor, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Jhon Quincy Adams, and Martin Van Buren.  The baseball was signed by a famous pitcher named, uh, named, (sigh) well I don't know :-) he he.  The coins were all in unc. proof cases but J. Adams was not a proof coin.  After, we went to go have lunch at the Harvard Club of New York!  It was Great.  I had pop-overs with butter for an appetizer, a piece of steak and fries for my meal, and apple pie for dessert.  Then we went to the reading room and saw an elephant that Teddy Roosevelt shot.  After that we went home in a van and played at home for the rest of the day!                        P.S. The Jhon Adams coin was way overpriced :-(.

Flea Market

Today in the morning I went to a flea market and saw a bunch of cool items.  I kept my eye on the coins :-).  All I ended up buying was coins!  My sister got a 151 year old envelope with writing on it, I got a siver Benjiman Franklyn half dollar, a 20 drachma greek coin, a silver 5 pence coin with young Queen Elizabeth the second on it, a Washington D.C. quarter and a New Jersy quarter, an old rare penny from a sunken tresure, and an old old Carribian nickel, and my brothers got water and cheese-its.

Ice Skating

Today after the flea market I went ice skating with my family for a long time.  We went directly from the market and I skated beutifuly!  I can do a spin, I can skate really fast, and I can catch-up with my dad.  I learned that if you skate properly, you can skate however you want!  Even backwards!
