King Richard's Faire


A few days ago  I, we went to the costume shop at King Richard's Faire. There were mostly hats  and the one in picture was my favorite (the goggles even came off!). The hat didn't fit me and the goggles glass were not the same color one was green and one was red. The hat was a hard leather. just like a leather jacket. Waylon pulled so hard on the goggles strap that it came off and it took him ten minutes to put it back on. Dad put a big fluffy  hat  on me that made my head very warm all over my head and it looked like a old fashion airplane hat. Some other hats looked like a robin hood's sharp hat with a feather, and yet other ones look like Indiana Jones's hat with a feather and without one.











Also at King Richard's Faire, I got to do cross bow firing and it was very hard. You had to pull very hard and very fast on the lever in the back, and the farthest I could shoot was three feet. The man who was running it had an afro wig, a white shirt, and brown leather pants. The younger boy next to me also had a hard time (like me he could not go far enough to hit the target and instead went two feet) hitting the target.






We also had a lot of fun with these, because you could go over to the side and open them up and slide in and close your self in and when you want to get out just push up on the top and it will  open. in medieval times if you were bad they would lock you up and the villagers would throw fruit and vegetables at you and you  would be shamed.






Next time I go to King Richard's Faire, I want to buy: a sword, sheath, dagger, ring, staff, axe, armor and a potion.

Seeing the Chateaus of France.

Image
We woke up in our hotel room in Tours and went downstairs for breakfast. A man named Pascal and his partner ran the hotel and Pascal were serving breakfast. He was very nice and served us incredible hot chocolate, croissants, baguette, Nutella, and jam. We ate quickly then got in a cab to the Tourist Office in Tours. From the Tourist Office, we took the van to start our tour of the Chateaus of France. This is Clos Luce, the Chateau where Leonardo da Vinci died. It has many of his incredible inventions inside of it. This was his workshop where he started his paintings, sketches, and designs for his inventions. This is a lifesize model of his most famous painting "the Mona Lisa". The is Chateau Chenonceau, considered the most beautiful Chateaus in all of France.

Solar Powered

Image
In our house, we recently installed solar panels to reduce our carbon emissions and also save about 45% of our annual costs for our house’s electricity. My Dad wrote a few questions for me to answer that would attempt to persuade much more people to add solar panels to their own houses, and also to try and persuade others to add them to their own houses. Why does solar work for our house? Solar works for our house because we have multiple roof areas mostly south facing that have sufficient sunlight to make a good amount of electricity to be worth the money that they cost. What is the design? There are 19 panels on the one side of the roof and 5 on the other side of the roof above Mom, and Dad’s bedroom How much does it cost? It costs $20,000  when they are installed, but nothing every year afterward. How much electricity will it produce? Our solar panels will produce about 5946 kWh every year for 25 years. What other financial benefits? We will save ...

Day #1 in London

Image
My grandmother and I arrived at Heathrow in London at about 10:30 AM local time, and we were extremely tired. I had only got about an hour or two of sleep on the plane over the Atlantic ocean. We walked to the taxi area and got into a cab. The UK taxis are black and look old, on the inside, there is quite a large space, and three seats along the back of the car. There is no trunk in the UK taxis so we had lots of extra space inside the taxi. Even with the taxis old look, it had an intercom for talking to the driver and also an AC and window button. When we arrived at our hotel we put our bags down and immediately took a two-hour long nap before leaving for lunch. We ate lunch at the ale and pie restaurant below our hotel. I ordered an incredible beef burger, and Baba ordered a steak and blue cheese pie. After lunch, we walked about five minutes to big ben. The Big Ben This is a picture of the London eye.
