Utah Trip

Recently we went on a trip to Utah on an airplane to visit some family there.

It was a great trip. Here are some of the most fun parts about it:

I liked the car that we rented. It was silver VW 2010 year and very fast. We went up to Park Canyon with it and went to Provo at BYU and Springville Museum of Art where my Mom was giving a lecture about her photographic project Lost in Learning: The Art of Discovery. There were a lot of people there. I liked seeing the big Y letter in the mountains for BYU and the U for the University of Utah. I can't wait to go to BYU some day.

I liked the Brazilian restaurant that we ate at all you can eat. We went up hiking to Sundance after that and the mountains were beautiful and fun to run all over there.

I saw my cousins and played hard, jumped on the tramp and played at their tree house.

I loved going to the Art Museum and seeing some great paintings and sculptures. Also went to Temple Square and saw the Church Museum and learned about the early days of the church. I liked seeing a mini model of the Temple and all the rooms inside of it. It was so well done.

My own board game

The other day I decided to make my own board game. I drew cards for all of the Lord of the Rings guys and then I made up rules about how strong each of them were and how to play.

Some cards have heroes and some are just regular people. There's good cards and bad cards for two people to play against each other.

The fun thing about this game is you have to do building and you have battles, but you do all of it by rolling dice so there is a lot of math adding and subtracting. It takes kind of a long time to play, but it is a very fun way to practice math.



The Chronicles of Prydain

I read all of the Prydain chronicles by Lloyd Alexander and it is one of my favorite stories ever.

It is based on Welsh myths and tells the story of a boy named Taran and his pig hen-wen and all the amazing adventures he has. My favorite characters is Fflewder Fflam and Gurgi. Fflewder has a harp with a magic string that breaks whenever he tells a lie. It breaks pretty often. Gurgi is Taran's friend and helper and very funny.

I read all 5 books and now I am working on writing my own story which is kind of the same and kind of different than Prydain.

praise to the man

i just learned this new song on the piano and i love it.

Oh and by the way praise to the man is a hymn from the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and it is also the music of scotland the brave. here's its words .
Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah, Jesus anointed that prophet and seer. Blessed to open the last dispensation, kings shall extol him and nations revere. hail to the prophet ascended to heaven traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain, mingling with gods he can plan for his brethren, death can not conquer the hero again . that is the end of the first verse there are four  .
