Trip to Squaw - by Landry

Today we went to the Village at Squaw Valley.


There was a big chair that you can sit on.


We went on the tram and my mom was afraid of heights.


We stood off of the balcony at the building where the tram stops.


Here we are standing off the mountain on our hike.


I got first place as an American and Kennedy got second. Not really. 


Our friend Travis Ganing wants to win a medal at the Olympics. He finished 8th in the world but no medal. 




This is me climbing. And climbing.  And climbing. 



Am I a bad rock climber? Or good? I'm almost doing the splits in this picture. 


Rang the bell!

Museum of Art Camp - by Landry

A few weeks ago Kennedy and I went to art camp at the San Jose Museum of Art. 


I made a paper mâché hand in the shape of a longhorn.


Kennedy made a hand in the peace sign symbol.


The three of us all chose our handstand be displayed. 







Levi's Stadium and The Earthquakes - by Landry

Levi Stadium is huge!


On one the light rail trains, I hung from the handles on the train.


Levi Stadium is where the 49ers play football.


Kennedy and I are standing in front of $1.3 billion dollar stadium!


After the National Anthem, four skydivers landed on the field.


Shea Salinas is my favorite player on the Earthquakes.


Yannick Djalo scored the winning goal for the Earthquakes, the first one ever scored in the stadium. 


Great America was having a fireworks show about the time the game ended. 


The VTA trains were really messed up and people could barely move.

Phonto funnies! - by Landry

I have an app on my iPad called Phonto. On Phonto you get to choose a picture from your album then, you get to choose a color of the photo that you like. After that, you can add words and change the color.  This picture is of Claudia, Kennedy, and I. 
                                                                                                                                                                    My cat Pesto is the best cat ever.


At one of the missions we saw there were a lot of koi fish.

This picture was also taken at a mission.

The Earthquakes Invade Levi - by Kennedy

This is the first sporting event at Levi Stadium. 


Earthquakes and the Seattle Sounders were playing with 48,000 people at the game.



When the para hooters came down, they slid on the grass.


The para shooters came flying down a plane up high in the sky. When the American flag was landing they had to quickly pick it up.


After the first goal the crowd went crazy. Yannick Djalo scored on the Earthquakes for the win, one to zero.


At halftime, they introduced the old 49er players and they old Earthquake players.


After the game, we went home on the VTA train. Even though we left early, the train was jam packed like sardines because VTA did not control it well at all.

The Castle - by Kennedy

Castillo de amoraso is made with bricks on they outside and made by a man.


This is the cat that stays at the castle.
As you can see there is two cinse of bricks. They look different because the part on the left broke from an earthquake, so it is younger than the right bricks.

 This is the area that they make wine.

Under ground there is 4,000 barrels of wine.





This is the ostrich that loves staying here.
























Mission San Francisco Solano - By Kennedy



This building is the survents quarters. The doors on this building are so short that I can bump my head.

This is the first bear flag of California.
This mission is known for the last mission built.
The ceiling of the walk way is  made out of sticks, wood and strings.
This church is one of the smallest.
The real church got damaged in the big earthquakeUh
General Vallejo got this house built for his 16 children and his wife.
This is one of the dining rooms with instruments.
This is on of the children's room.
Next to the house there is  a pond with big turtles and one big carp fish.
