Top 5 best things in Death Valley and Las-Vegas


1. Putting a Python around my neck
    Yes, I really did put a real Python around my neck.

2. Seeing the mirage volcano
    No not a real volcano. It was a volcano to show the experience of what a real volcano would do.

3. The dancing water fountains
     The fountains danced with the music in the back round.

4. Climbing the sand dunes.
   The sand dunes in Death Valley were so huge that I couldn't even climb to the end.

The Yosemite Trip

Hi! I had a Fantastic time last weekend! My family went to Yosemite.  We also lived in a log cabin.  We first went to Bridal veil falls. I had a great time I climbed rocks on the falls.  There was a wading area near Bridal veil falls me and my sister dipped our legs in there.  Then we went to a place called curry village, over there we saw somebody called mother curry.  My dad talked to her for a while,she told us where our log cabin was. We Walked to our log cabin, looked around for a while. Soon after that  we hiked to a place called pizza patio.  We ate pizza over there, then we watched a show.  It was hilarious.  After that we ate an ice cream sundae. It was amazing.After we finished the Ice cream we went to our log cabin . While my mom,dad, and sister were sleeping. I decided to take a look and check if there were bears. When we woke up I claimed I saw a bear. My mom and dad thought I was making it up.  My mom and dad still think I made it up and  I couldn't prove that I saw a bear because I didn't take a picture.  So we had to leave it
vernal falls



that way. Anyways when we woke up we walked to the bus station. There we took a bus that led us close to a falls called venal falls. me and my family walked all the way up the falls. Up on top  of the falls their was an amazing view of the water fall and the plants surrounding it. Climbing down was harder than going up. I felt like I was going to fall. Luckily we did not fall and we made it safely. Next time , I told my dad that I would climb Yosemite falls. Later we walked to the bus station.  We rode on the bus back to our campsite. We rested for sometime.  Then we went to another show.  It was about not polluting or doing other bad things to Yosemite.
It turns out The people preforming this show have done it for ten years!

                                                                  Fun Fact
                                                          Did you Know that there
                                                          are only 500 bears across
                                                          the whole Yosemite.

After the show we had some ice cream from the same creamery and then left.  When we were in the car I saw the view of Yosemite falls. It was bigger than Vernal falls.  In fact it was so tall it was the fifth tallest falls in the world.

That is my experience in Yosemite.

My Day at The Academy of Sciences

Hi my name is Pranay.I went to the academy of sciences in San Francisco.It  was awesome I'll tell about a few animals that I saw 
1.African hunting dogs 
used to hunt with hundred dogs or more dogs.Today they only live in packs
with 2-30 dogs 
2.albino alligators
have red eyes,they eat turtles,fish and carrion.The strongest part of their bodies is the tail because it helps it  to overpower and become faster.Albinos can be very weak even though their really BIG and if you have not seen one they are white.
3.cheetahs
as you probably know are the worlds fastest animals in the world but I bet you did not know this they can only for 1 minute and 15 seconds.
4.arctic foxes
 turn white in the winter and turn gray in the summer they turn these
 colors to camouflage in they're surroundings And they camouflage
to catch they're prey.They weigh about a tenth and feed on birds,
berries and eggs.
                                     5. klipspringers and dik-dik
are among the smallest antelopes in Africa. The klipspringers are 
20 inches and the dik-diks are 14 inches.Klipspringers prefer rocky places and diks diks jump in tall grass. they jump several times their own size. they jump to see what lies ahead of them and some say they bounce like bouncing balls. 
6. olive baboons: live in the open grasslands and woodland area.
These animals eat just about anything including grass,seeds and insects.
7. lemurs
can only be found in Madagascar. They mostly live in trees or bushes.The only lemur that stays on ground is the Ringtail lemur.They have big bushy tails.These tails are used for leaping from tree to tree.
 
So those are a few of the animals I saw in the Academy of Sciences.
