Kyra
There are three things I think you should know about me.

First I would like you to know that when I was little my uncle did origami and tried to teach me.
My uncle Chris and I would sit down at the table and he would teach me how to do origami but I just couldn't get it right but Chris made a bird out of a one dollar bill. He can also make an elephant out of a peace of gray paper. I can almost make a cheetah with cheetah print paper. Doing origami is so relaxing if you know how to do it. (‘Because you might get a little bit frustrated)

Also I wont you to know that I love getting shells from the ocean and Lake Chelan.

‘Last month me and my family went to Lake Chelan at Wapato point and rented a condo. On the second day at the lake we went to the beach and saw something shiny in the water so I into the lake (burr) and picked it up. I looked at it for a long time. After a while I finally figured it out. First I thought it was a rock but then I found out that it was half a shell. The shell glowed as the sun hit the beautiful pattern on the shell. A couple minutes later I
found another one that looked the same so I put them together and they made one whole shell. I found three more and they were the same shape but different colors. My sisters found a sand dollar but when she was coming out of the water she tripped and accidentally broke the shell so we couldn’t show our mom. (She did not get hurt thankfully)

Finally I wont you to know that I love spending time with my grandpa.

My grandpa and I like to smash pennies on the train track by his work. Every week he will pick up the smashed pennies and then put some more non smashed pennies back on the track. One time my grandpa put a nickel on the track and when the train came and left my grandpa picked it up, took it home and showed me. The nickel looked so funny. My grandpa said it was special so I don’t have it at home; He kept it with him and put it with the others. When we put the penny on the track we set them on the thick side of the track. We have to be very careful so it doesn’t take us forever to place the penny.

When the train comes and runs them over they don’t usually fly out, they fall into the middle of the track. Smashing pennies is so much fun especially if the penny doesn’t get smashed all the way. The penny feels like a smooth surface and no bumps at all. Sometimes smashing pennies is not so much fun because it can get very chilly. One time I forgot to bring an extra coat so I got very cold. When the penny gets run over and it falls into the middle of the track and are always buried in the dirt. When they get covered in dirt my grandpa goes home and cleans the pennys.

As you can see I love learning with my family and just having fun with my family.
