Bad Weather

Complaining about bad weather? Well in this story you will learn about weather and how it forms. So, off you go, to a world of weather.

First, I will introduce you to tornadoes. A tornado is formed by cold, dry air from Canada and warm, moist air from Gulf of Mexico collide on the Great Plains.

Hurricanes also known as Typhoons, are extremely dangerous because your home could be washed away. Hurricanes start in the ocean with a group of thunderstorms that get together and move toward the land.


Weak Weather

Remember about the bad weather? Well don’t worry this time I’m introducing the weak weather.

Dust devils are weak relatives of tornadoes and they suck up only dust and sand. They are seen in California and Nevada.

Waterspouts are also weak relatives of tornadoes. They are found in the Florida Keys and the Gulf of Mexico. Waterspouts are formed by clouds moving forward to the oceans or lakes, and by the unstoppable wind.

Freeze!

You never know what will happen when cold weather strikes. 

Blizzards are similar to snowstorms but much bigger. Blizzards are simply snow and hail. Blizzards form the same way as thunderstorms do, but with snow and/or hail.

Conclusion

I like what I wrote and I hope you like it too.

Glossary

Hail: frozen rain.

Rain: when clouds have too much moisture, rain forms and falls.

Going to Las Vegas (by William)

Right after my summer camp, we went to Las Vegas and it was fun.  

We picked up my cousin and drove for a long time.  We arrived at Nevada and California’s border line, then quickly reached Las Vegas afterwards.

The hotel we stayed in was called MGM Grand, the 2^nd largest hotel in the world!  In the room, the curtain was opened so we tried to close the sheer layer of the curtain.  In the lobby there were many stores and one store had robotic walking cats, pigs, and dogs.

We also went to ride the High Roller, an observation wheel on the hotel strip.

I really liked the trip to Las Vegas and I suggest you should go there too.

Cool Inventions (by William)

I thought about inventions yesterday and I am thrilled to write about them.

We will start off with the flying cars.  Flying cars are equipped with wings and can fly up to the thermosphere.  They can also fly over natural disasters.  Next, I thought about the Hoover Dam’s rockiness, so I am planning a climbing car.  Climbing cars can climb rocks.  Third, in case of heavy snow, I had the perfect plan of making a snowshoe car.  Snowshoe cars are cars that can drive through snow, and the wheels are on snowshoes. 

Now I will talk about house improvements.  Shields on houses are invisible and you have to press a button to turn them on. Flood shields make water go over your house.  Last, tornado shields make houses stay together when a tornado is passing through your house.

I hope you enjoyed my ideas.

Fall at Eaton Canyon Fall (by William)

Last weekend I went to hiking at Eaton Canyon Fall and I fell twice.

The scratches first looked like the asteroid belt (mom didn't take pictures of my scratches back to the asteroid stage),

then they turned into the Rockies, 

and now they are the Great Plains. 

Don't worry, I am still running around J.

Poem Written with the Classical Typewriter on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena (by William)

(First time to see/use a classical typewriter)

Families are beloved, 

and my family includes my mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa. 

I call it my beloved family, 

and I really enjoy my family.

Legoland (by William)

My vacation started when my mom and dad took me to Legoland during the summer.

When we got to Legoland, we first entered in the gate to get a map to plan what to do and what do watch. Then we went to Miniland U.S.A. When we got there I saw models of Las Vegas, Southern California, and San Francisco. My favorite is Southern Californian and Las Vegas. I wanted to visit the Water Park. The water is not deep, but it is fun and has a lot of water toys. We didn’t go because we didn’t have swimming suits on. Next let me introduce the Land of Adventure. It has a ride called Cargo Ace and an adventure photo booth. We also visited the Star Wars area. There are models of planets and one of them is Endor.

Legoland Miniland U.S.A - Hollywood

The Star War models are magnificent

I liked Legoland and I want to go there again.

Fourth of July Fireworks (by William)

When it is the Fourth of July, people love to celebrate using fireworks.  So, in this story you will learn about fireworks. 

(Photo taken in little sister Summer's backyard, credits go to Summer Mama and Papa)

First, you will learn about how to make fireworks.  You had probably heard the word fuse.  If you had, you have a good brain, and if you hadn’t, we will learn together.  There are three fuses in aerial fireworks, the side fuse, main fuse, and the time delay fuse.  The other major components include gun powder, stars, and paper wrap as the body.  Every firework has its color because there are different types of metals and chemicals.

I may suggest you to buy fireworks at some TNT Fireworks shop along the streets.  After you use your sparklers, I think you may want to watch aerial fireworks pop in the sky, in that case, you should go to a city park such as Almansor Park to watch it. 

Now you know how to make fireworks, how to color is made, where to buy it, and where to watch it, off you go to the world of fireworks.  Good Luck!
