A lot of writing


So so sorry I haven't been writing, but it's been so much of a blast that I haven't had time to write on my blog!

Thursday 15th: We're here at Hawaii and we are younger because we went on a aeroplane to Hawaii at 9:30p.m. and arrived at 10:30a.m. the same day! That night we went to a volcano but we couldn't go to close to it because of the sulphur in the air.


Sorry, but you can only see the glow of the volcano.

Friday 16th: We went on a really awesome volcano hike. We first went through a forest to come to a used-to-be-molten lava floor! There were steam vents that we explored. We left Hawaii to be greeted by our cousins at 5p.m. in San Francisco!




This is were the lava came out.

If you look closely you can see very small people.


Plates of rock that have cracked and there are plants growing in the cracks.


This is the steam vent.



This is also where the lava came out.

Imagine that the basin you see here twice as deep, so the lava filled it half way!

Saturday 17th: We ('we' means my cousins and my Mum, Dad and Jules from now on) all were exploring together when we came upon a museum called The Exploratorium. We got a sticker to put on our shirts, then we went around doing the activities, which is when I got lost. I was found by my Uncle Rob. We then sabotaged the recording room!

Sunday 18th: We got exploring again and found another museum but didn't go in it, instead we watched a comedy circus show live. Then we had a delicious ice-cream.

Monday 19th: We then went to Yosemite were we walked a little bit and found a big waterfall!! We got a little wet from the mist, but the sad thing is that Dad and I found rubbish everywhere!!!


This is my cousin, Isabella, I have another cousin called Angelina.


Tuesday 20th: Finally, somewhere more exciting, Death Valley. They say that it gets so hot that you can't move! While we were there it got as hot as 51 celsius! We also went on a fault line that spurted out water which dried up and left salt, so we took a piece each!!! Oh, and my cousins kept saying they were going to die, but they didn't. That night we walked on the streets of Las Vegas (L.V., Vegas) and saw water dancing to the music by controlled jets of water and Spongebob with Patrick!!

Wednesday 21st: We went exploring and didn't find much. In the night we went to a circus show that was really awesome!

Friday 23rd:Sorry I skipped a day but I couldn't remember what I did on it. My family and I woke up early to get on a plane ( from L.V. to the Grand Canyon which) we got to talk to the co-pilot about the controls. When we landed we went on a tour to the Grand Canyon. Afterwards we went back to L.V..


These are the controls.




Saturday 24th: Today we went through another desert this time it wasn't so hot but it had .........


WINDMILLS
lots....
and lots of windmills! And if I remember correctly, we also went to my cousins house in Florida!

Sunday 25th: At my cousins house we didn't do a lot.

Saturday 31st: Sorry I skipped some days again, but they would be boring to read. So today is my cousins birthday! I'm sure that you don't really care but it is special to me so, yeah.

Sunday 1st: August, awww! Today we leave our cousins to go to somewhere called Connecticut near New York City to meet our friend called Maya who used to live in South Africa. After all the "hello's" we went to Maya's friends birthday and spent all of the time in the pool!

Monday 2nd: Today my brother and I had trouble waking up Maya. Today we had pancakes for breakfast. We then learnt how to play a little bit of Green Day: Boulevard Of Broken Dreams after we went to Maya's granddad's house to get a car that can fit all 6 of us. We then drove to the interactive science museum.

Tuesday 3rd: We practiced the minute we woke up which we then did a show of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams for the parents. Then in the afternoon we left to stay in New York when we found our hotel we went to see the Statue of Liberty!



This looks like the Liberty's head is on fire!


Wednesday 4th: Today we went on a plane to go to Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
