My Trip to Los Angelos

Hi,

Tomorrow we are going to Los Angelos. We are going to record my mom's next story on the immune system.It is going to be SSSSSOOOOOO cool. Were going to be in L.A. for valentines and for my moms birthday. My family got Skype so we are taking our laptop and were going to skype my dad.

In my moms second book ( audio book) we ride a Macrophage like the one in this picture:




Cool!

Honolulu Zoo

Here is a video of giraffes, zebras at the zoo in Honolulu. I took the video with my moms camera. The zoo was fantastic! The elephants are getting a new home which is good because right now they have a small area. When I grow up I want to work with animals. Maybe I will help design better environments for the animals in the zoos!

sunday morning with DAD

Almost every Sunday morning my dad makes crepes for all of us ( and sometimes our neighbors!). We fill the crepes with blueberries, bananas, strawberries, chocolate and peanut butter chips. If you want our recipe send me an email to ASK MERRIN?

Cousins

hi
During winter break this year my cousins came. My cousins names are Owen(3) and Max ( 11 months). We met each other in Honolulu. They were sick half the time but the other half we were hanging out at the beach. In Honolulu we watched the Honolulu Marathon. We also did alot of Christmas shopping. Me and my dad went to look at boats in the the boat harbors. Some boats were fishing boats, some were sailboats but it was nice looking at the boats.
Our cousins left a couple days ago. I miss them.
BYE
