Dakota County Fair

This year I entered some Lego and pictures to add to the vegetable entries. And I got second place on both of my pictures, second place on my racing boat (check out boat races on another blog). On my Lego house I got fifth place. My vegetables did very well. My gourds got first place and my Jalapenos got first place and Royal Purple ribbon that was called Grand Champion ribbon. My other stuff did well too.

Como Zoo

Today me and mom went to St. Paul and picked up Karen and then we went to the Como Zoo. On our way to the zoo I showed Karen Minecraft lego guys. I could only have the head of the ender dragon and I forgot two of my lego guys. What I forgot was my Lego Minecraft Alex (Alex is a girl) and I also forgot the Iron Golem. Our first exhibit that we went to was the butterfly exhibit and there were these humongous ones. After that we went to the primate area and saw the primates. I got my picture taken by two gorilla statues and a orangutan statue. We went to the Como Town and I went on the rides, the Swing and the Tilt-a-whirl and me and mom went on the Tiger Traxs roller coaster. For lunch we all got Cheetos that Karen brought and my Dove chocolate had a sentence on it the read, "Treat Tuesday like a Friday".

Pilot Knob Bee Survey

Today me and dad went to Pilot Knob Hill for our second bee survey. Mom had to go to work, so it was just us two. It kind of easy to find a bumble bee, because there were lots of bumble bees. They marked the bumble bees so you don't catch them again so they don't get counted twice. There were 16 volunteers and we collected 81 bumble bees.  There were five different species of bumble bee that we caught today. After we caught bees we planted a seedling of a flower that bees like. Me and dad planted 18 flowers.
