Summer Adventure Gallery: July 12–18

I saw a caterpillar today. It was green and hairy. It was eating our pak choi.

We took a walk on the Alameda Creek Trail and saw many birds.

Made polymer clay animal earrings

I am 4 years old, and I have always wanted to learn how to play chess. This summer, I visited the Fremont Main Library and the Centerville Library to participate in their chess programs. I really enjoyed learning from the high school student volunteers. They were kind, patient, and taught me one chess piece at a time, making it easy and fun to learn. During the program at the Centerville Library, they helped me learn the names of all the chess pieces and made sure I could say each one correctly. I learned how the Knight and Bishop move, and now I am excited to learn even more and keep practicing chess. I love all the high school volunteers who come with a smile and inspire young kids like me to learn. They made learning chess so much fun. This has been my favorite summer adventure, and I have loved all the programs and events at the library.

This summer, I created many drawings because I love painting and sketching scenery. I have shared one of my artworks, and I am proud to donate it for an auction. I hope it will help support a meaningful cause while allowing others to enjoy my passion for art.

I got to visit my friends’ house and play with their pets! They have three dogs—a German shepherd named Chelsea, two corgis named Kappi and Sesame—and a cat named Coco. I LOVE playing with dogs—puppies are my favorite animal!

We saw a deer family at Quarry Lakes.

I am in a Lego cab

I made art. This parrot and the wood, leaves, etc, are made of dyed modeling clay and the back is cork my name is written is a white some material marker.

Today I went to summer camp early. I went at 7:35am. My summer camp opened at 7:30am. My friends came at 8:20am. I usually come to summer camp at 9:30am. They even had morning snack! I took two! I enjoy playing at the park, and watching the other kids play while I waited for my friends to come. After I got bored so I went to get a bicycle to ride on. I ride close to the playground and the fake grass I biked in a circle. I biked for about ten minutes.

I draw roses and stars. I used markers. I love my art piece!

I got my book gift and tote bag today. I am so happy. Thank you, Fremont Library!

Pearl (AKA Pearly, Pearly Girl, Pearly Pop, P-Dot, Miss P, Little Tiny) Pearl is a playful, observant, and cautious kitten with a big appetite! She loves toys of all kinds but she goes especially wild for the laser pointer, racing up and down the hallway and even throwing herself at the wall. When she doesn't have the zoomies, Miss P likes to lie on her back, with her paws up and belly exposed. My favorite thing about Pearly is that she tucks me into bed at night! While I brush my teeth, she waits patiently for me on the sink and when I get into bed, she hops onto the covers and purrs and makes biscuits—just like she's tucking me in! She has also invented a game to play during mealtimes: using her paw to fish out one kibble at a time from her food bowl, she then sends the kibble flying across the floor so that she can chase, dribble, and then finally eat it. My partner and I call this little game of hers "Pearlball."

My mom helped me use my crayons to draw pictures of a fish, a bunny, and a cat!

I rode my new e-bike from Hayward to Union City.

I loved reading Adrian Tchaikovsky‘s Green City Wars. It’s a fun sci-fi book about Skotch, a sentient raccoon living behind the scenes in a futuristic solar punk “eco-friendly” society. He’s tasked with finding a mouse that is harboring a secret, which will supposedly change the world. I enjoyed the Germanic aspect to the story and the naming conventions. It make my knowledge of the German language come in handy!

We read "All you can be with ADHD". Clark's mommy has ADHD, and his mommy says ADHD can be genetic, so we wanted to learn more about ADHD and the gifts and powers it brings! Clark read the book with his momma and his mommy and will continue to learn more about neurodiversity and the powers those who are neurodiverse has whether or not he ends up diagnosed with ADHD!

Read a book to my baby sister and showed her how to turn the page.

I made a whale!

I went to the pool with my friends. We swam, played some games and even went on the slide. The slide was so fun. Then we went to my friend's place to go into a hot tub and we played. After that we played soccer.

I meditate on the porch at night under the stars. The noises are so different then the day. The frogs and crickets are so loud. It is calming and while the birds are quiet you can hear the occasional flapping of bat wings.

I rented a lime e scooter in DC

I built a house. Around the house is a lake. I put some roses and daisies. I put the sun and clouds.

Today I went to summer camp. We had a field trip, we went to the USS Hornet. We keep going back and forth. The people who work there told us a lot. After the USS Hornet we went to Crab Cove. Me and my friends built something, I forgot the name of the thing that we built. The water was cold, I got wet. One of my friends found a claw of a crab!
