Hi there! Well my summer has been pretty good, has yours? I did not get to go on a vacation but Ivy and Alex did! I was a bit disapointed but they showed me pics of everything and insisted I put them on my blog so here you go!

 Alex loved the Golden Gate Bridge. She took a little too many pictures.

 Alex pretends to hold up the bridge.

 Here she is on a cliff. She said she tried to bugee jump off but Ivy said she needed a bugee cord for that. However Ivy wished she would not of told her that when she realized she would have to share a seat on the plane with her after Alex ate all the chocolate.(-:

 Ivy got to see the Golden Gate also. It was windy and she almost flew off into the bay. Ivy still secretly wishes that Alex did.

 Ivy got to ride the trolly and said that it was absolutely awesome!

 Here is the candy bar Alex ate.:-)

 Alex with all the chocolate. Don't worry She didn't eat all this!

 Here is Alex under the Ghirardelli sign.

 The Palace of Fine Arts.

 Really cool houses that are victorian. They are called the Painted Ladies!

 Alex hung off the ledge to take this photo! ( Thats what she said anyway. )

 A bigger view of the bridge.

A view of the bridge close up. I still wish I could of gone but seeing the picture was cool too!

 Hello! Well the other day I went on a photo expedition and took so pictures for you of te living organisms in my own backyard!

 First I took a picture of the cool bamboo grass. I have to take my picture just right.

 I took some pictures of some pretty flowers too!

 Then I found a snail!! It was so cute and friendly! ( Then again, how can a snail be not friendly? )

Last, I found a prickly cactus!! It was sharp and when I touched it, it hurt my hand! I know what you are probly thinking- why did Joy even touch it in the first place? Well I tend to touch anything that looks, well, touchy!

    JOY(-:

    Hi! Well today was Alex's first day here, so I decided to meet the new girl. We decided to go in the back yard to explore the un-explored!!!

 We talked about life while sitting in the cool grass because it was still hot outside.

 We looked for snails since the grass was still a little wet.

 We walked to look for other wildlife, but we didn't have much luck if you don't countpestering ants.

I think you will probly see Alex again since she is very nice and my new friend. (She does get a little crazy though and is not shy at all!!)

          JOY:-)
