Penguins

O.k. The votes are in. Most people think penguins are so cool. I have to agree. I LOVE penguins they are my favorite animal. Penguins are very smart. They swim and catch fish, and even Emperor penguins eat squid. The ocean that Emperor penguins swim in has an average of 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Penguins eat shrimp, fish and crabs and more. Sometimes a Killer Whale would eat a larger penguin, rather than a smaller one. But Sea Lions eat penguins more often. Adelie penguins are the smallest penguins and Emperor penguins are the largest penguins. There is a lot more penguins than just that though. Whats really sad though is when there is oil spills from boats and ships, the penguins get that on there feathers and can't get it off and when it's hot out the penguins become hot and when is cold out the penguins become cold. They will die if their body temperature is to hot or to cold. What's also really sad is that if there is a bunch of litter on the ground they will get into it and choke, or eat something their not supposed to eat. They can die from that also. That goes for all birds, everywhere. Penguins are toothless, but instead they have a beak, to grab and catch fish. In just a few minutes one penguin can eat hundreds of krill, or many small fish. Rockhopper penguins jump. They jump little distances, but it is one of there unique ways of moving. That is where they got there name, Rockhopper. Adelie penguins make piles of rocks, and whoever has the most rocks gets the girls. Some penguins live in New Zealand, where it is still cold. Like a lot of other animals, penguins molt, or shed there fur. During molting season, you will probably see a lot of penguin feathers.

PENGUINS RULE!!!

Camping

Camping is really fun. Me and my family go camping in a tent. Remember to bring all of the stuff you need, because if you forget something then you will be miserable. Always bring stuff for cold or hot weather, just in case. If you go camping in a tent you will need some heavy duty sleeping bags because it gets cold outside at night, even in the summer. Me and my brother wear footy pj's because it keeps us really warm, even if you think they are babyish, you will want them for night or any warm pj's. You might even want to wear socks to bed. If you do go camping you might want to go on a hike. If you do go on a hike, you should choose a not to long, not to short, hike for you and your family. When you go on a hike make sure you stop and look at bugs and wildlife, because if you keep your eyes open you will most likely find something cool. Take lots of pictures so you can show your family all of the fun things you did. Even if that camera is one of those few dollar developing cameras. See what kind of bugs and wildlife lives in your area, and look for them, make a checklist. Camping is fun for all ages, even 3 year olds because my 3 year old cousin goes camping.

Rain

Right now it is raining. You might wonder why it rains, or why it thunders and lightnings. Water evaporates and the water goes into the clouds. When the clouds can't hold anymore water, it rains. This is called the water cycle. Why it thunders and lightnings is because when two clouds rub together, it forms static electricity. Like when you have socks on and you rub them against a carpet, it creates static electricity. That is how it rains, thunders and lightnings.

Lions

Right now I feel like a lion. I am so tired and want to roar like a lion. Lions are pretty cool. They are lazy in the hot sunlight and are more active in cooler conditions. Lions enemy is a hyena. Hyenas will tackle lions and they will fight till the death. Male lions have manes. Their manes can be dark brown or blonde. Lions are so cool because look at their teeth, they are giant. Now I know why lions roar, it feels good every now and then.

Pets

Hey, do you want a pet? If the answer is yes and your parents don't want one then just follow what I say and you will get a pet!! First you have to convince your parents to go to the pet store or wherever you can adopt the pet. After you do that, and say how cute they are, or how much you want one. Then, your parents will most likely think about it. Then you should just keep quiet and not tell them anymore of how much you want this pet. Begging will not help. You should also be kind to your parents and be responsible in every way possible without whining. Then after a while your parents will give you an answer and hopefully you will soon have a new pet!!

Max

Max is my dog. He is so cute. Here is a picture of him. He always looks sad, but he is so spoiled. He is a greyhound and he used to race. We rescued him. You can rescue greyhounds and look more into them. They are adorable puppies and are really fast.

Greyhounds are wonderful!!

More About Max

Max is my 10 year old greyhound that used to race. He is a wonderful dog and loves to go on walks and lay in the grass on a hot day. Max is getting kind of old, but still acts like a puppy, and is not running as fast as he used to. But he is still a fun dog. Lots of little kids and friends and family and pretty much anyone, loves Max. Max is very funny,a few times he rubbed against the wall. He also likes to rub his face against the couch. If you pat Maxes belly after he eats, then he burps, in your face. Max is a great dog, and I love him so very much.

Greyhounds are wonderful.

Trees

Trees are so wonderful. They give us fresh clean air and provide us shade. Pine cones, from pine trees, hold seeds, and when it is cold and rainy the pine cone closes up and when it is warm they open up. Some trees, smell like butterscotch or vanilla, like this tree,

Next time you see a tree that looks kind of like this one smell it.
