Road trip: part 2

This post is about the lego set I got while in florida.

 

This is an underwater exploration vehicle.

 This is it's second mode, the

robot mode.



This is mode 3, the non-land submarine mode.

(note:this is not the vehicle that came in the set.

those pics are on a different camera, although my

mom knows how to get them so I will have

a series of other post also about legos

including them.)



Road trip: complete

Yesterday, we got back from our road trip.
We took lots of pics while on the trip, so here are some.

 My mom, dad, grandpa, and Evan

went to a state park to see alligators there.

 However me and my grandma Deb stayed home.

I always call her snugabug because

she was the first person to tell me the saying

"snug as a bug in a rug"

 I'm (as always)reading the map

at the kennedy space center.

 We're on the moon !!!

We also saw STS-135 at the kennedy space center.

My mom took this photo of the shuttle.

Bye, Ben

Fun stuff!!!

Hi this is ben.
Sorry about the gap in posts.
I have two great things to talk about.
1: Tuesday was my mom's birthday
2: Tommorow we will leave on our summer road trip.
we are going to Florida, with stops at Madison and Murfreesboro, TN.
We will also stop in chicago on the way back home.

My mom wearing her new dress, photo

taken on her birthday.



 Hi this is ben.

 One of my readers (Lisa)

requested a lego robot bug.

So I made one.

 The front part looks like a bug, but

the back part looks more like a flying mining robot.

 My mom made cool T-shirts for me and Evan to

wear when we see the last space shuttle launch.

The back of the shirts have the mission number on them.

Bye, Ben

Lego Bots

I decided to post some lego robots I made today.

 These photos are both of a Mechalo corporation

2011 mineroid

 These are of a Mechalo corp.

2011 "blue jay"

 The peices with holes on the right

fold out and have rockets on them to allow flight.

 This is a 2011 Drill Mantis.

I call it that because of how the arms look and It's ability to dig.

 Of course, Evan had to use legos too

when he saw me showing mom all those robots.

He calls this one "The Digger"

and is very enthusiastic about the scoop on the left

This is our "photo studio"

most of the photos in this post were taken here.

The galaxy is big!

Since nothing too crafty or cool happened today, I decided to write about something cool
I learned. As well as doing a blog post every time I use the computer, I look at a website
called Science News for Kids and look at one article. Then I tell my mom what I learned.
Here's what I read about today:
apparently the Milky Way is heavier then scientists thought.
It has 4 arms and two of them only contain very young stars and nebulae(I think that is plural for nebula)isn't that cool?

MN Zoo!!

Today, we went to the Minnesota Zoo for somewhere fun Friday.
First, we saw the dolphins, sharks, and seahorses. I think Evan's favorite part was the dolphins
I really love the seahorses and enjoyed looking at them.
Then, we stopped to take a snack break near the entrance of the minnesota trail.
My mom brought the some of the cookies we made on wensday as our snack.
Then we went into the Minnesota trail and saw a bald eagle up close.
After that, we left.

Bye, Ben

PS:sorry about the lack of pictures.I don't know why, but mom didn't bring the camera.
