Summer 2017

I was in charge of Ring Security at Jason and Eliza’s wedding! And then I cleared the dance floor with my break-dancing skills.

Uncle Terry gave me a rod, tackle box, and beautiful flies to introduce me to fishing. Now it’s all I ever want to do! I caught a halibut off the pier at our marina (but I didn’t get a picture). For mommy’s birthday, we got up at 6am and rented a boat in Capitola to catch big ocean fish.

I’ve been spending lots of time at the beach, catching crabs and swimming with Ben and Owen.

I’ve gone camping and hiking a lot this summer: New Brighton beach, Sunset beach, and in the Felton Redwoods.

It’s so fun to sleep in a tent!

For Jason’s birthday, we went to Silver Lake in the Sierras. We fished every day and then spent the afternoons swimming in the pools and lounging like lizards on the granite rocks.

We went to KoA campground for my birthday party, and all my school friends came!

This is my classroom, with all our work on the walls. And for Science Fair, I taught the kids all about sharks! I showed them my sharks’ teeth and jaw and pictures.

Jason and Eliza like to come to my Karate belt promotions. They spoil me with presents like science projects and archery toys.

I’m doing Karate summer camp to earn my belt promotion faster! It’s Jedi Training with Chanbara… we use swords and play Star Wars!

Winter 2017

We took a road trip to Canada for Christmas! We stopped in Leavenworth for a couple of days to enjoy the snow. It was magical.

We spent a couple days in Reno, Nevada, playing arcade games and bowling.

We spent Christmas with Grandma, and I especially loved the fishing tackle box she bought me : -) I also got books, video games, and Pokémon!

It’s been a busy semester at school. This is our garden! Can you see my kale?

For the school science fair, I did a shark presentation with a display of various shark teeth. I taught the kids a lot about sharks:

  • Hammerhead
  • Lemon
  • Tiger
  • Megalodon

My Great White Shark teeth were a big hit!

Look what my teacher gave me! Rudy report card
