Music Jewelry Box

I was looking at the posts from my blog and looking for specific post that my Mom might have posted but I did not see it. So I am posting it right now while my brother is not using this computer yet to play his game.  The reason why I was looking for this post because I wanted to forward it to my music teacher who gave me this precious gift when I won the Doodle4Google for the state of West Virginia.

She gave this to me after school and I was very surprised and  excited  because she never mentioned that she was going to give me something.

I love the message she wrote on the card and the message itself on the music box!

Thank you so much Mrs. Bernardi for this wonderful gift!  I will forever treasure this.  You have helped me so much in pushing myself to learn more about playing the piano right.  Thank you for your suggestion for me to try at Doquesne University.  I am getting excited to  start my lessons there.  I am so glad that my parents   decided to  keep my former music teacher for this year.  Mrs. Fedoush is such a good teacher.  I just feel bad that  my parents has to pay so much for my piano lessons.  But I am so thankful!  I thank God that  I have great parents and great teachers.

Thank you for  dropping by and for leaving me a comment.  I enjoy reading them every time.

Love

Log Jammer at Kennywood

I had a blast during  our  summer visit at Kennywood this year.  Dad and I were  falling in line to  go ride at the Log Jammer and then suddenly we saw my friends from school with her parents and sister, I was  excited to see them!

It turned to be just Mrs. Velegol and the girls who   went.  Dad and my friend's Dad did not go hehehe.

Thank you to my Mom for all the  pictures she took!

Ha ha ha, my face is so intense on this photo .   There is also a camera that  snap pictures when the log is going down and it is so much fun to look at them in the booth  because they are bigger. You can buy them  afterwards.

This splash of the water is what gets you wet at the bottom.

I am so glad that I found my friends, the ride was extra exciting  because all of us  were screaming  at the top of our lungs ha ha ha!

Raging Rapids at Kennywood

I remember this kind of ride  when we  went to Disney World  in Florida some years ago and  to Sea World  in San Antonio last year.  I get the same luck every time, being soaked ha ha ha!  I don't mind though because I get to ride with my friends.  

I just wish we do not have to fall in line he he he.

But it is worth the wait.  Can you tell me and my friends are having so much fun?

I was very glad that  even though  me and my friends did not plan to see each othere in Kennywood, we found each other!

This is Mr. and Mrs. Velegol, my friend's parent who took us to the Raging Rapids ride.

Mommy  just want to take pictures all the time so she did not go.  I think part of it is because she did not  want to get wet and she hates  the speed of any rides.  She went with us in Disney World though and it was so much fun!

It's funny, Mrs. Velegol brought a raincoat.  She wants to ride but she did not want to get wet.  Maybe I should buy one of those for Mom next time  ha ha ha.

I love this photo that Mommy took from afar although you can not see  us but the smiles on  my friend's parents is beautiful!!

My brother is lucky because he did not get dumped on with water, I was.  Look how soaked I was in the last photo...

I will definitely love to go on this ride again next time but next time, I will be prepared, I will wear my swim suit so I can change after the ride.

Animal Stories from Wisdom Tales

School break is nice because the kids gets to sleep in  everyday and of course I don't have to wake up early as well.  Being off to school does not mean that they can do whatever they want.  I still make sure to provide them activities at home that would stimulate their minds like reading and other  art projects.  I am so glad that Wisdom Tales Press has partnered with this blog and provide my kids with wonderful books to read that would surely  give them life  learning lessons.  

The third book that I received is "The Panda and their Chopsticks". This book  does not only contain one story but different short stories of animals that  has quotes at the end of each story.  All of the story teaches valuable lessons.   Things that they can use  as kids  and towards adult life.  

My daughter love the story of the "Panda and their Chopsticks" and my son  love the story of the "The Fox who was King  of the Forest".  I highly recommend this book  if you want your kids to have  great book to read this summer.

By far, this is their favorite one as the stories are short and they get to   interpret what the quotes meant at the end of each story.  The illustrations are very colorful which  is very interesting for the kids.  Demi, is an award winning author, features animal stories  of Asian folktales  that provide valuable lessons for little hearts and minds to absorb.  Thank you so much once again Wisdom Tales!

USS Requin Submarine at Carnegie Science Center

Mommy told us that when she was growing up, she wished that they have a camera but her parents  can't afford it so she never had any picture of her growing up. I think that is the main reason why she made sure to take pictures of me and my brother no matter what we do. I call it obsession actually because she never failed to capture every moment he he he. Peace Mom. I mean, I like it that she does that because we have so many things to look back to. Just like when we were babies, we have so many album of photos. My oh my, we looked so different when we were babies. I have kanckles (is that how you call it) and I have rolls ha ha ha!

She gets frustrated when she wants to take a good picture of us but  me and my brother keeps  making faces of making  goofy poses ha ha ha.  These photos were taken when we went to Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.

I just love summer, I get to post here in my blog once in a while when Mommy is away from the computer ha ha ha.  I was not able to make a post for my Dad's birthday though, I feel bad.

We have so many pictures taken when we went to Carnegie Science Center but I only saw a couple of posts that Mommy have made so this is another one contributed by me.

I took this opportunity to write this post while Mommy is cooking breakfast.  Thank you very much for dropping by and for commenting.

Pool Plunge at Sheraton Hotel

We stayed at Sheraton Hotel  in Palo Alto California during the Doodle4Google event.  One of the amenities that we liked is the swimming pool.  They jumped on it on the very first day.  I did not swim  because I wanted to put away our stuff in the closet.  I manged to take some photos  from the window of our room.

Glad the kids had a blast  out there in California.  It might be a short  trip but it was full of fun!
