The Summer
By: Himanshu
This summer was awesome. First of all my Grand Parents came this summer. The first place we went to was Las Vegas. We went to many places like the Eiffel Tower casino, The Statue of Liberty, and a casino called Belagio. We also went to Lassen National Park. It is a national park with lots of volcanoes. We got to see Mt. Shasta and the Shasta Caverns. In the entrance was a small rattlesnake. It was right behind the tour guide! Last, we went to the Redwood Forest. We saw lots of huge and old trees. We even got to ride through two different trees. As you can see that my summer was a great adventure!!! How did you spend time in the summer break?

I spent my summer with my grandparents. They came over from India. Together we went to New York, Pennysylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and Washington D.C. In New York I went to Elise Island and saw the Statue Of Liberty. We climbed up to the pedestal. Then I saw the Niagra falls from the Canada side and the New York side. At night they had fireworks near the Niagra Falls. Also, They had a light show that hit the falls so it made it look like it was changing colors. Then at Pennsylvania I stayed at Pittsburg and saw the stadium were the Pittsburg Stealers played. Then at Pennsylvenia I went to the Hershey Chocolate Factory. I went on a tour and saw how the chocalte was made. After the ride they gave us free candy to eat. Yummy! After that I went to Washington D.C. In Washington D.C. We went to the Muesuems.(At least 2 or 3 per day.) We went to the White House. We saw Obama's Daughter playing outside. Then we saw the Washington Monument. Last, I went to New Jersey and met my cousins there. I went to Maryland and did nothing! Thats all I did for my vacation.
I spent my summer vacation in Taiwan and China. We visited our relatives in Taipei and Taichung, and then we attended my cousin's wedding in Kaoshong. In China, we visited Hangzhou and Suzhou. Both cities are gorgeous. We also attended the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. The Expo was great! Even though it took about four hours just to get inside an exhibit. We visited the exhibits where you don't have to line-up to get inside. The few that got my attention were: Osaka Japan, Australia, Rotterdam, Makkah-- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and London.
I spent a week of my summer break in a camp called Camp Gallileo. This camp is in the Tech Museum.
My first class was Video Game Design. In this class we made, you guesed it, VIDEO GAMES! My teacher was really funny and he helped me whenever I needed help.
My second class was Kitchen Chemistry. We made all sorts of stuff that had to do with food and then made something that would use what we learned. When we learned about yeast, we made Piedini bread. When we learned about preservation, we made jam. When we learned about how the name of Truffles came up, we made CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES! All of the food was delicious.
That is what I did for one week of my summer break.

Well I barely did any thing. All I did was play,get tired and sweaty, and color on paper. I thought I would do something fun like go to Lake Tahoe. But I guess I did nothing.
I had fun over summer vacation too.I went to Hawaii and my cousins came over.In Hawaii I did most of the activities that people do when they visit like snorkeling.Also my cousins came from Japan and they are still here.It is the 2nd time they come over!I had fun over the summer like you.
My summer was great even though I didn't go on any vacations. Most of the time, I was working on a robot. It's name is Sandwich because his body is a plastic box for sandwiches. I got the instructions of how to build Sandwich by reading a book called Robot Building for Beginners. Sandwich is not completely done yet. I have built his electronics and they are working right now. The only thing I have to do now is his body.
First, I went to ICC Camp. Then, 6 of my cousins came for three weeks and we went to a lot of places like The Crookedest Street, The Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and Monterey Bay Aquarium. I had tons of fun in the summer break.
This summer I had a great time going to summer camp, Hawaii, and celabrating my sister's birthday on July 19th.
The first place I went to in my summer was South Carolina for a karate National Championchips. Over there I had gotten a Bronze medal. The next place I had went to was Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. my favorite ride was the Big Dipper, Hurricane, and the Cyclone. I liked the Big Dipper because it had many dips and it was the biggest roller coaster. The best part about the Hurricane was that it had many loops going side ways. The Cyclone was also a good ride because you would face side ways and it would spin very fast but the bad part is that you would get your neck hurting after the ride.
Wow Himanshu! That sounds like awesome summer that you had!
That is really cool that you could go through two huge Red Wood trees!
I spent my summer at the East cost it was so much fun! I went to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York! I had fun, thank you for that cool blog!
During my summer break, I stayed home the whole time. Only my older sister went to Korea for three weeks! It was my first summer ever to just stay home and relax. It was a pretty special summer because it was my first summer I spent doing nothing! Even though I had nothing to do, I was glad because I got to sleep in and relax for a while.
This summer was really fun. I went to Great America where I rode on some pretty huge roller coasters! I rode my bike around our block and on the trails around Vasona Lake. I swam in my pool and walked my dog almost everyday. I have had a fantastic summer even though I stayed at home.
Over the summer I went camping at Yellowstone National Park and Lake Tahoe. The trip to Yellowstone was hard for me since I am motion sick. We had to ride in the car for 3 days!!! We stopped at Salt Lake City, Reno, Idaho Falls, and finally we got to Yellowstone. There was some good news and some bad news. d to drive 1 more hour before we got tThe good news is that we are there, but the bad news is that we hao our campsite. Luckily on the way we saw some Bison. At first we were screaming bison but after a 2 days we were so bored of bison and wished we could see a moose. When we had to go home I was so excited because 1. I can see my beloved bed again and 2.there were at least 100 mosquitoes there.
At Lake Tahoe it was much better than Yellowstone. It was only 5 hours from our house than 3 days!!! We stayed there for 2 nights and 1 day. On the first night the stars filled the sky! They were so pretty and you don't see them in the city at all!
That was great! This summer I went on a cruise to Mexico with my family. We had so much fun! We visited three cities: Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. On the cruise there was too much food and a lot to do. But yet I got to make a couple of friends, and one was named Morgan.On the last day I was feeling very sad because I didn't want the fun to end.
Hi, Himanshu, I think your summer was very fun! I spent my first half of summer at YMCA. When I didn't go there, I stayed home and worked on my workbooks. I spent some time reading, playing, or watching my brother play. I also went to Lake
Tahoe. I think it was a very fun summer.
I spent my summer in Houston with my grandparents and my cousins. My cousins are 13, 10, 23, and 21. We played laser tag at Laser Quest, watched the movie Iron Man 2, and played wii every single day. My cousins left a week before I did so Ie got bored. Ie saw the movie Dispicible Me, went bowling, and went to Cici's pizza. Overall I had a great summer.
My summer was really great! I went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. My favorite ride was, "Loggger's Revenge." We also went to the California Academy Of Sciences. The rainforest and the swamp were so cool! Another place I went to was the "Tech Museum." I really liked the movie, "Under The Sea", in the Imax. Next, I went berry picking at a ranch in San Mateo. Finally, I went to, "Coyote Point Museum" also in San Mateo. In the museum there is a small zoo, things to play with, an aviary where we saw different species of birds and a butterfly garden. Outside the museum we went to the marina, and we took a scenic hike to the beach where we saw the view of the bay and where you can have a picnic. As you can see, I had a really fun summer!
I spent my summer on the other coast. I went to Washington D.C., New York, and Niagara Falls. I saw all of those cool places in Washington D.C., the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building in New York, and the Maid of the Mist along with Journey Behind the Falls at Niagara Falls.

After that we finally came back to Denver. That was my summer vacation.
I also went to the redwoods during the summer. Later,I went to L.A. I attended few summer camps. One was a sports camp where I did tennis, and soccer. One day I went birdwatching with my parents and we saw lots of egret nests. Overall, I enjoyed my summer.
I spent my Summer at The Tech Summer Camp. My first class was Lego Robotics. We did lots of different challenges that we had to program our robot to do.My next class was Video Game Design. The teacher was nice,funny,and always willing to help us out.That is what I did on my Summer vacation.
I spent my summer mostly at home with my grandparents, who came over for the summer. I also played with my sister and friends, and had lots of sweaty Soccer and Basketball games. So it wasn't much, but that didn't stop it from being fun!
My summer was fantastic! First, I went to archery at Ycamp. We went to a fencing/archery/horseback riding. We learned how to shoot arrows,do an archery stance,use points to calculate scores, and shooting/retrieving commands.Second I went camping with Albert (which is right next door).We camped at Sonoma State Beach. When we reached the beach we saw white jellyish things. I thought someone dropped their jello,but it was really dead jellyfish.If you walk around the whole beach, you will see hundreds of them!Last,we went to a restraunt for a family gathering and I met my cousins from the east coast for the first time! The restraunt food was awesome!All in All,my summer was fantastic!!!
