Mission San Francisco Solano - by Landry

The mission San Francisco solano is in Sonoma.

The roof of the hallway is made of sticks.


The bell for the mission is shiny.


To cook the soldiers used this kind of stove. It is made of cement.


One thing different about this mission's church is that it has it only has one bench.


The altar looked like this up close. In it are six candles, two statues, and a book.


What I liked about this mission is that it has a lot of cactuses.

Happy Hollow by Landry

Mary is trying cheese and crackers with bugs.

She tried a little piece of the bug.


The goats at Happy Hollow are very nice and we got to feed them.


We went to Happy Hollow to see the new anteater, Xander.


At Happy Hollow, our mom's friend had a son and we played with him. His name is David. 


We drank smoothies and rode horses.

Mission San Francisco de Asis By Kennedy


Mission San Francisco de ASIs is big and has two buildings.

Mission San Francisco de Asis is in the mission district of San Francisco. 


Mission San Francisco is landmark #327.


This is a mural that they painted more than 200 years ago on the walls of the church. 


The ceiling has zig zag designs and was painted with vegetable oil. I think that the red is made out of beets, tomatoes and other veggies


This is the front of the big and colorful basilica called Mission Dolores. 


This is the basilica. This basilica was intentionally built with the mission.


When I was in the basilica I smelt the burning candles from the prayers that people left. 


What is special about this mission is that in the basilica, there are stained glass windows for each of the other 20 missions. You can see them above. I took a picture of the Missions San Miguel and San Fernando. 


This child died at the age of seven years, three months and twenty one days.

Mission San Juan Bautista by Landry

Mission San Juan Bautista is a little past Gilroy.


The mission has 3 bells. 


Buried in this cemetery are about 4300 settlers. That's a lot of people. 


I like this church because of the statues behind the alter. 


This church is very big...the biggest of all the missions. 


San Juan Bautista has a church with a pulpit that is up high. 


This mission has stagecoaches in a separate building. 


The horses had to stay in these dirty stalls. 


The huts at this mission are diffrerent than the others because they don't have just one opening. The others were cone-shaped with one opening. 


The courtyard of this mission is quite small.


I am standing in front of some rose bushes. The building behind me is the church. 


The hallway is very long.


Mission San Juan Bautista is a historical landmark. All missions are historic landmarks but they all have their own landmark numbers.
