This Years Halloween Costume

This year for Halloween I went as a Vampire Slayer. I had my own little stake and cross. I wore a black leather coat with a red tank top under the coat, and dark jeans with John Deere boots. I looked great. Also I wore some red lipstick.

Fall Winds

The fall winds are blowing,
They blow everywhere,
The leaves are flying,
Almost everywhere.

Field Trip - 1929 Ford Tri-Motor Pics pt. 1

I took all of the pictures by myself.

Field Trip - 1929 Ford Tri-Motor Pics





Field Trip - 1929 Ford Tri-Motor

Yesterday we took a ride on a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor. It was really, really bumpy.We flew for about 20 to 25 minutes. I think it was one of the longer flights. We flew all over Peoria. We went across the river we go over to get to Washington. i saw lots of neighborhoods. Many of the houses we saw had pools. We saw Grandma Marys house. Well I didn't really see it but we flew over it. On the plane it was like really, really loud. If you weren't right next to the person that you wanted to talk to, you wouldn't be able to. That is how loud it was. during the take off I felt like I was getting a foot and back massage. I would have hated to travel like that on that plane. If you were traveling for long time it would be really hard to fall asleep. Also if you wanted to draw you would end up scribbling all over the page. In the plane there could be only 11 people on the plane including the people driving.

The 1929 Tri-Motor we rode on was 146th out of 199 tri-motors constructed. It first flew on August 21 1929. It is now known as the tin goose. The 1929 Ford Tri -Motor was a pioneering aircraft of mass air transportation. The ride on the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor was really fun for my first time in a plane. I think it was cool for my first time up in a plane to be in a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor. I was so very, very, very, very, very, very, cool. And bumpy.

My Line Drawing

A few days ago I drew this line drawing. It was very fun drawing it. This line drawing is of a turtle. Inside the turtles shell are little patches with different kinds of things. Here are some of them spiderweb, circles, candles, right and left angles, clouds, a triangle, and horseshoes. Also my turtle was a girl and she had a heart in her tail.
