nature journaling

Here are some of my nature journaling pages.  I usually just write about what I see on our trip a long the way and then look up facts and thats what I write about.

I am now working on a report about Sacagawea.  I really like reading about her and what she did back then.

What do you think about the trip so far...

5 months into the trip-

I think the trip is a lot of fun so far because of all the friends we get to make on land and on the other boats.  I have made a lot of new friends like, Gracie and billy on Seahorse 5, Jacyntha on Apropo, Annakenna on Pelagic and then on land I have met Eden, Gwen, Annaka and then I get to play with a lot of the local kids that are hanging around in the water.  I met a puppy named miro and Tiggins.  

It is also really fun because I get to swim a lot and snorkel a lot.  When we get to snorkel we get see a lot of different kinds of fish and coral.  I really like to see the puffer fish in the water they are so cute.  I also like the parrot fish, angel fish and sargent majors.  

I like to go into the towns and hopefully get some internet so I can play games and watch movies.  I also like to go to towns because I like to get the food at the OXXO and little treats.  I love getting ice cream and playing with all the animals that are running around.  

Some of the things that I don’t like are all the waves and getting sea sick.  I don’t like having to do school.  I also don’t like having to leave the boat when I don’t feel like it.  Sometimes I just want to read my kindle and mom or dad makes me go play on the beach for exercise.  Once I get there I have fun but I really like reading and sometimes just want to read my kindle.  

One of my favorite memories so far is swimming with the sea lions in the Sea of Cortez.  I loved how everyone was really calm and we could just swim with them and they would play with our fins.

This trip so far has been really fun in everything I get to see and the places I get to go.  I would definitely tell anyone to do it if they can.  

Introducing Amaia

I am a 7 year old girl who lived in Lafayette, Ca.  I am fun, amazing, awesome and energized.  I love to listen to music, sing, draw.  I love to make bird houses.  I love all kinds of animals and to play with them.

I am going on a trip with my family.  We are going to sail to new places and look at coral reefs.  I think this trip will be fun and great.  I think when we are on our trip we will be swimming a lot and I would love to turn into a mermaid or a sea turtle.   For school I am going to be homeschooled.  This means a lot to me because it will be my first time being homeschooled and with my mom teaching us.  

I think on the boat it will be fun because we will be sailing around a lot, eating, playing on the beaches, and laying on the net.  I am looking forward to playing on the beaches.  It will be so much fun going to all these new places.  I am hoping to make a lot of friends and do a lot of things with them. 

What's going on now...

Now we live in san francisco.  We are staying in my Oma's house.  There is a lot to do.  Tomorrow is my older brothers birthday (Tristan).  We visited our old home today, my mom had to get some stuff out of the house.  Then we went to the boat.  The boat is in Napa at a Boat yard and is out of the water.  It was pretty awesome. I had to climb a really tall later to get up onto the boat.  While my mom and dad were on the boat tristan, alexia, alina and I watched a movie called barbie and the pearl princess.  Then we went to diner at Sausalito Taco Shop and ate some rice and beans.  I met a girl named Astella.  She has a dog and she said she lived on a boat at the marina across the street from the taco shop.
