California Blog #47: Vacation Day 7 - Theo’s Birthday

 It’s Friday September 13th, and it’s a very special day.


So here’s what my dad and I did this morning. We both got together and drove to downtown Santa Cruz to walk around. I even got to go to Comicopolis to buy a Big Nate book for myself.

That place has been around forever, and I really love that store.

Before that, he and I went to Sylvan Music to buy some guitar strings. I had to sit in the car for a while. I was just about to get out of the car and walk around town for a little bit but it turned my dad was done. So I opened up and I found him. Next, I got to visit Streetlight Records while my dad went down to the Starving Musician. I even got a picture of him with that shark! Haha!😆 

Streetlight Records has all the CDs, records, posters, DVDs, and so much more. So I’m gonna text Uncle Mark and Aunt Leta a Christmas wishlist of things I want from this place.


And then after that, me and my dad got lunch again at Jack In The Box. I got the triple Jack combo.


Then I relaxed for a while and I signed a birthday card I made for Theo James. I drew a happy face and wrote the words ‘Peace Love Happiness’ on the bottom.

And now it’s time for a pizza party.


Aunt Leta chose Roundtable Pizza because it’s really good stuff.


After that, we all got together (Leta, Mark, Shanann, Miles, Kieran, and me) and got to open gifts for Theo James. He got himself a go-kart and I got him a Hot Wheels Monster Jam truck. Then we sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him and made ice cream sundaes. I like mine with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles on them. It was really awesome! And it’s good, it’s really good!






Theo James is four years old now and tomorrow is a big day. It’s a huge birthday party here at Shanann and Miles’s house, and everyone’s invited. Then it’s a trip to the boardwalk.


How cool is that?!


When I’m back home, I’m gonna do whatever I can to save money for my next trip to California so I can visit my Aunt Leta and Uncle Mark once again. I was also talking to Uncle Mark about a special concert here at the Klavers’ house. I suggested Weezer to perform in the backyard. So does Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers too.



I hope that we will make this happen.

California Blog #22: Welcome to Lake Tahoe

Image
 Living in Northern California in the future can be a bit of a challenge. But when I think of living here once again, I've thought about one thing that my aunt Leta suggested. She and uncle Mark suggested visiting Lake Tahoe for the very first time. If you can look closely, you can see the beautiful lakeside. That's the south shore seen on the west. At Lake Tahoe, you can also see the view of the shore from California from here. If you liked my blog about camping in California, then get this. There's also hiking here in Lake Tahoe! And that part of Lake Tahoe is Fallen Leaf Lake. How's that for another scenery. Now if you look closely at this map, Lake Tahoe is located in both California and Nevada. As you look closely at these pictures taken from space, you can see the clear blue water in this lake. According to Wikipedia,  Lake Tahoe has a dry-summer continental climate, including  warm, dry summers and chilly winters with regular snowfall. It's the  youngest of s...

California Blog #08: A Visit to Axtell Expressions

Image
  Ever since the day I got my first Axtell puppet in Lawrence KS, it has always been my dream to entertain children, and start my puppet's own show on YouTube. So I would like to take my time to talk about Axtell Expressions. It all started in the month of February 2013 when I got my bee puppet delivered to my door. It was a best day of my life. Since I named him Buzzy, I got the chance to show my puppet to everyone in Lawrence. The school that I went to [Free State High School], Cordley Elementary [including Lois Orth-Lopes], and of course all of my friends in this town I lived in. They are so thrilled that they saw it. He was friendly, kind, and more expressive to people. And for example, this is what my puppet and I look like in that picture. Now in the future when I come back to live in California again, I wanna plan a visit to Axtell Expressions in Ventura where it's between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. I wanna get the chance to meet Steve Axtell and shake hands with him...

California Blog #11: 7-Eleven

Image
  As I'm still working on my next future life in northern California, I'd like to take my time to talk to you about my daily trips to 7-Eleven in my spare free time. Whenever I come in to a 7-Eleven, I get myself a Slurpee of any kind that I like. Whether it's wild cherry, blue raspberry, pina colada, or Coca-Cola flavored, I'm always down with that. One time, my family and I were visiting 7-Eleven to get myself a Slurpee during vacation in California, and I tried a wild cherry Slurpee. And I gotta tell you, I almost got myself a brain freeze when I sipped too fast. We were in the car on the way. Visiting 7-Eleven reminds of the time I was in Kansas City with my dad while we were moving, and it was great. I wanted to pick out something besides a Slurpee, but it was all I can get here for now. I wonder if I could go there more often. It was also that other time I went there with Aunt Leta and Uncle Mark along with my dad, and my cousins Ryan and Shanann. For me, I got my...
