Horse Camp and Book Reviews!

                                                 Hello! I just got back from horse camp!

We got to ride horse and ponies. This is me on Butters. And sometimes we got to ride on our own, too! 

Also, I have started a GoodReads account. Click HERE to read some of my book reviews. I'm going to be reviewing some Dragon Slayers Academy books soon, as well as some more Magic Tree House books and American Girl books. (I just finished some library books.)

Easter is coming soon! I will do a Easter post soon. 

Peace, Love, and Horses!

Three day trip!

Hello!

Me and my family are on a three day trip! Yesterday we went to Ashley's horse back riding lessons, and I ate trail mix and chatted with a horse named BeBe while she rode. (My riding lessons don't start for a couple weeks.)

After that we drove to my parents' friend Dr. Murphy's brother's house. 

Here is the fish tank.

Me, Ashley, and Ginger really like this cat. (Which was not surprising at all to my parents because I'm obsessed with cats and kittens.)

At 5:00 we decided to go to a gluten free pizza place for dinner. Here's me, Ashley, Ginger, and Dr. Murphy when we got out of the car. I'm the one in the blue sweater. 

The palm trees had lights wrapped around their trunks. Ginger thought they were so cool!

On the way back to Dr. Murphy's brother's house we stopped by a grocery store to get goat brie cheese, BBQ flavored potato chips, and dairy free chocolate ice cream for a delicious, after dinner snack. Then the adults sat and talked while Ashley played with a toy car, and me and Ginger sat on the giant bean bag chair and watched Good Luck Charlie, Jessie, and The Suite Life on Deck on the laptop. Soon Ginger fell asleep.

After breakfast in the morning Ginger played with some Pet Shops. I just love this picture because it's so colorful.

Soon after that Nancy packed up her backpack and suitcase and put her "pet kitten" Praline in her pet carrier, and in a few minutes we'll be leaving for my parents' other friend's house and then we're going to a birthday party.

That's all for today!

Samurai Exhibit in Portland, Oregon

A helmet. Notice the wheat crops and grasshoppers. I think it's interesting that this helmet has a cute design, and the other helmets are creepy.

Pretty Asian scroll. 

Samurai wore creepy armor to freak out they're opponents. Aaaah!

A sword. ( a very fancy one, if you ask me.)

Ginger is obsessed with shoes!

                                                                       

                           Chest with family crest. (I can't remember if it's a royal family crest, or just a family crest.)

Beautiful painted shell!

He sure looks angry!

Look at the dragon and clouds on his armor!

Fun facts about dolphins from National Geographic and photos

1. Some dolphins live in salt water, and some live in fresh water.

2. Dolphins can't breathe underwater. Blowholes located in they're heads open and close, allowing the dolphins to breathe. Just like humans, they have to come to the water's surface to breathe.

3. Bottlenose dolphins send messages to each other in different ways. They squeak and whistle and use body language; leaping as high as 20 feet (6 meters) in the air, snapping they're jaws, slapping they're tails on the surface of the water, and even butting they're heads.

4. Each individual dolphin has it's own signature whistle.

5. Bottlenose dolphins are called bottlenose dolphins because they're beaks are shaped like bottles.

For more facts about dolphins, go to nationalgeographic.com and search "dolphin facts".
All five of these facts are from National Geographic. The photos below I found on Google Images. Well, except for this dolphin on the pillow below, which is my own photo and my own (plastic) dolphin. I put her on the pillow to take the photo because I haven't gotten a dresser yet.

A DAY IN POMPEII
At the Denver Museum of Nature and Science 

Pretty painting, huh?

Here is my favorite statue, an eagle. 

Here is a poster of Roman gods and goddesses. I took a quiz, and I am most like Apollo. See if you can find him on this.

Here is a Roman helmet.

Here are some bracelets. The girl behind the case is not me. 

Here is a pattern that I and my dad liked. It is a bronze table.

Here is a snake bracelet.

Here is me behind my favorite part, the Roman jewelry. =)
