Veggie Village

Hi, this is Sienna back to update with another blog post.

My friend Aliyah and I helping out at Veggie Village.

Veggie Village is a community garden were people get together and socialize and grow plants.

We helped little kids fill up there watering cans so they could water the plants.

A famous guest came to speak about taking care about the environment.

Here's a special guest game....

Can you guess who she is?     

  Here are some clues. 

She's famous.
She has a movie named after her.
Actress Julia Robert's played her in the movie.
She fights for environmental causes.
Check the bottom of my post for the answer.

I also helped prepare the food, set it out and clean up afterwards.

We all sat down to eat a yummy meal.

I love watermelon! 

Later that day we traveled down to Brisbane to take out hire car back.

The roads where busy with traffic. It was so hard to drive though the streets.

Finally, after 3 hours, we arrived at out destination.

Brisbane river was SOOOOO COOL

There was the huge community swimming pool along the riverside with sand like the beach and all.

We didn't go swimming because it was 7 pm at night. Still lots of people were still in the water.  

We walked along a bit and saw this huge ferriswheel.

My Mom and I wanted to go on it but, it was $25 a person.

Since all the shops were closing we had to get something to eat quickly so, we strolled down the shops to buy something. After we ordered, we sat down at a table and started to chat.

Then an ibis bird came up to us and sat under our table till we fed it some food. He was very tame.

We gave it some chips, so he was happy. Then he waddled away looking for more yummy food from some of the other diners.

Have a great day

Australia? :D

G'day people of the world who are reading my blog.

                                          Guess where I am!!!

I'm in Australia, where it is even warmer then Hawai'i. It's 38 degrees in the daytime. But, only 20 degrees in the night.

We came here to renovate our old house because, our tenant who was renting our home in
Coolum Beach made a mess.

So now we're in Aus! My home country, where I was born.

Here's my old house. Lots of good memories here.

I haven't been in this house for about three years. And, I haven't lived in it since I was six!

 Two days after we arrived in Australia, a guy came and said he would buy it, if we just do some minor touch ups. Yay!

So in a few weeks, we're going to travel down to our Nana and Pop's and visit them! I can't wait as I haven't seen them in three years. Well, we do talk on Skype and phone them but, that's never the same.

A few days ago we went to the beach, IT HAD WAVES!


Not like Pentiction's beaches where the water is just flat and boring because it has no waves.
No offence Pentiction's beaches.

And when you walk in the water, it is warm!

I'm so coool :D

Peace People Peace!

The Wind is actually holding up my boogie board like this. No Hands!!!

This looks like my knee is holding it but it isn't. It's the wind again!
So cool right? The pressure of the strong wind which was coming off the water. 

We spent a few hours there with our old friends,(nice to see them again.) Then we all walked over to the shops to get a Slushy (Slurpee in Aus).

I still remember Coolum Beach. Although, it has changed a lot over the three years. There are new stores and shops all over the town. But, when I walked down it for the first time, all the memories flooded back in my brain.

I'm enjoying my little trip so much, even though I miss my friends back in Canada.
See you in the next blog post.
(thanks for so many views)

LOLLLLLLLIPOPS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!

This is my Lollipop Collage.

                                    I LOVE   LOLLIPOPS!!!!!!!

-Sienna - A random post.

An Extra Day :D

Hallo, people who read my blog! I'm back with yet another blog post!

 An unexpected delay occurred after spending four hours on the tarmac.
All we wanted to do was leave Hawai'i!

The overhead speaker came on and said, "This plane won't take off today, so we're putting all of you up at the Hilton Resort!!!"

I felt like I wanted to scream. The Hilton is a really fancy place!

Plus, they also gave us a $30 coupon for dinner each, $120 dollars to spend on dinner.

(Check out my brother Jera's blog for more)

Us just hang out in the pool. Most of the water slides were closed but the pool was still open.
So for about 1hr before dinner we swam! The Hilton was so cool!

At the Hilton, they even have their own beach, where I built this awesome sandcastle. It was kinda hard because the waves kept on knocking it over. In hindsight, I should have built it further up the beach, away from the waves.

Turtles and penguins  are soooooo cute! Their habitat was a pond at the Hilton. Don't worry they weren't penguins from the Arctic. They're African penguins, so they're used to the hot climate.

There was this one penguin who could not stop looking at himself in the mirror.

 

The turtles were just lazy no action from them, except one who swam up to us.

See this beautiful harbor?

On December 7th 1941, Pearl Habor was bombed by the Japanese.

That's when America entered Would War 2. 

In August 1945, America dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan cities (Nagasaki, Hiroshima)

Little Boy was dropped on August 6, and fat Man was dropped August 9th.

The bombs destroyed their whole cities.

60,000 to 70,000 people died in the destruction. For months after many people died from burns and radiation sickness.

Sadly, for decades, babies in Japan were born with genetic deformities, because the radiation fall out.

That's when Japan ceased fighting in World War 2 .

Have a moment of silence or those who died

Pearl Harbor Memorial

 

At the Pacific Aviation Museum they had artifacts from planes and bombs from World War 2.
It was a really cool exhibition. See Jera's blog for more details. http://jeranichols.blogspot.ca/

Have a nice day

Onizuka Science Day :)

Oi, welcome to another blog post.

This post is about, SCIENCE DAAYYYY!

A few weeks ago, we went to a Science day. We got to choose two out of twenty activity's to do. I picked

-Making cupcakes

-Squishy Monsters

Making Cupcakes: Pretty easy to guess what you do in this activity. MAKE CUPCAKES!!

Well you don't get to bake them, just decorate them with icing. I love to bake cakes and cupcakes so this was a great activity for me, plus you got to eat them, bonus!

Aren't these yummy!

This is my cupcake. I put every different kind of icing on it that they had. The cupcake beside it is my mum's. It's really pretty isn't it? It looks like an Hawaiian beach.

 At Lunch there were activities you could play. Like this one, which I mastered :) It was a so easy. The questions were like: 'Where is the Spaceship?"

I think it was meant for younger minds.

After the activities we sat down to eat our free lunch. Our lunch contained a ham sandwich, a pack of chips and a juice box.

In the afternoon we had an another session called Squishy Monsters. It was a class where we learnt about creating electric circuits using wires which you needed to connect.

We used different colored special clay. One had salt in it and the other had sugar in the ingredients. The salt in the clay acted as a conductor of electricity. Whereas, the sugar in the clay acted as an insulator. In other words, one would let the electrical current in and the other would block it. We had to connect the wires to make a circuit to turn the lights on.

You got to make these funny little clay monsters out of them.

 After we finished our activities there was a Science Magic Show. The guy who did it was a high school teacher, who was really funny. I would love him as my Science High School teacher.
The Magic Show was cool because he made rockets explode, got kids up to demonstrate fun activities and did other interesting science experiments.

*****

The Science Day was dedicated to Ellison Onizuka. He was one of the astronauts who was on the Challenger Space Shuttle when it exploded 73 secs after it rocketed into space, back in 1986. Ellison Onizuka grew up on the Big Island of Hawai'i.

His brother came to talk at the science day.

Onizuka Science Day was so much fun. We learnt all about Space Science.

Beach Daze!!

हाय, this is Sienna back with a another blog post.

Today my family and I went SAILING! YAY

This is black sand beach near where we're living in Hilo. The black sand is really crushed lava rock. But it is not hard to sit on it just feel like normal sand. See the bunch of trees over in the back corner, behind that is Uncle Billy's (where were staying). It's a really great place.

Jera and me at Uncle Billy's

Jera and I decided to test the water. We love to jump the carm waves. Its actually really fun. I pretend there little tittle waves and we run away from them before we get hit.

In this photo I'm helping Jera by pulling up the dagger board so we can go sailing. I was scared at first because I'm a little scared of boats. But after we sailed a while, it was more relaxing instead of scary. Still I wouldn't let Jera go out too far.

Here is us, out on the sea of calm water. See I'm out pretty far. It was just me and Jera and the sea. After a little while we started to turn back to the shore. Maybe I might go on a boat again.

After sailing  Dad, Jera, Mum and me sat down to munch on a late lunch.
                                                      ***********

 Ready, Aim...    

I've been having a lot of fun learning archery. This week I even scored two bullseyes!

We do archery every Wednesday  and Friday. Wednesday is quieter than Friday as there;s not so many players. 

I'm really enjoying archery. Maybe I'll even take it up when I go back to Canada.

Mahalo for reading my blog post

Hope you enjoyed
