Check Out What We Did at D.I.!

Hi, guys!

Some of you might know what D.I. is.  For those that don't, D.I. is Destination Imagination.  It is a competitive program where you work for months on a challenge and then compete others who chose the same challenge. 

This was my first year competing.  My team chose the tech challenge.  Here we are before we competed:

On the day of competition, we got to the contest, ate, watched a few other teams, and, then. got into our instant challenge. (Sorry, we can't tell you about that yet.  We are sworn to secrecy until Memorial Day.) Then, we went to do our team challenge.

This is us during the challenge:

In our challenge, we had to make a stage that used a technical method to move someone from one spot to another.  We also had to have two tech effects, one in our opening act and one in our headlining act.  We also had two choice elements.  Ours were a waterfall/projection screen and our stage design.

For our stage, we combined everyone's ideas into one, so we had a football field, a wrestling ring, and two jungle islands with a waterfall all at a circus.

We were surprised at the end of the day, because we came in third place!  (My mom did not even think we would place.  She was happy for us just to get to the competition, but, I wasn't.  I wanted us to place.)

Bye!

P.S.  I am sorry it has been so long between post again.  Life is super busy, and I have been doing other things.  I have a Youtube channel now where I post Mincraft, Kodu, and Civ videos.   I also just had other things to do.  I want to post more here now again.  Please tell me what you'd like to hear about.

 

Make A Space Ship

Sorry for not writing.

We made rockets.This is me making mine.
    

It was hard work but it paid off. Our things were great. This is us and our things.

Aren't they great? I thought that my friends made very great spacecrafts. Mine is called HMXguner600. Isn't that a good name? I thought it was super good. This is a closeup of the HMXguner600.


     

I had a lot of fun and saw some friends.

I would love to see your spaceships!

Animal Cemetary

Hi, again.

Sorry about how long it has been since my last post.  I was busy.

Meanwhile, could you guess what this is:

It is a toad's grave.  My sister made it for a toad that was squashed by a car.

Do you see the top rock?  What is it shaped like?*

 

This is the name of the cemetery that we built for animals like the toad.

 This is the graveyard.  We made it with stones from the parking lot that the toad had been squashed in.

I had the idea to lay down palm branches and my friend is laying them down in the picture.  (They are not really palm branches.  They are ferns.)

We buried a few inchworms in the cemetery we made, too.

BYE!

*P.S.  Here's the answer about the stone on the grave.  It looks like a heart.

Have you ever made an animal graveyard?  Tell me what animals you buried in it, please.
