dolphins rings

As if by magic the dolphin does a quick flip of its head and a silver ring appears in front of its pointed beak. The ring is a solid, donut shaped bubble about 2-ft across, yet it doesn't rise to the surface of the water! It stands upright in the water like a magic doorway to an unseen dimension. The dolphin then pulls a small silver donut from the larger one. Looking at the twisting ring for one last time a bite is taken from it, causing the small ring to collapse into a thousands of tiny bubbles which head upward towards the water's surface. After a few moments the dolphin creates another ring to play with. There also seems to be a se parate mechanism for producing small rings, which a dolphin can accomplish by a quick flip of its head.

An explanation of how dolphins make these silver rings is that they are 'air-core vortex rings'. Invisible, spinning vortices in the water are generated from the tip of a dolphin's dorsal fin when it is moving rapidly and turning. When dolphins break the line, the ends are drawn together into a closed ring. The higher velocity fluid around the core of the vortex is at a lower pressure than the fluid circulating farther away. Air is injected into the rings via bubbles released from the dolphin's blowhole. The energy of the water vortex is enough to keep the bubbles from rising for a reasonably few seconds of play time.

What I have been doing Lately

I am going to move. We (My mom and I) are going to get a car and go to a new home.

A few weeks ago we went to a water park. My favorite part was the huge tube slides. There is a black on and a green one. My favorite is the black one. Next I liked the racers, there were so many stairs to go up, but there wasn't a big line. I liked the current pool, it goes round and round in circles until you decide to get out. It's really hard to get out of the pool but it is possible.

Can It Be?

Can a river be a river if you stop its flow?
Can a turtle be a turtle if it doesn't move slow?
Can a person be a person without a personality?
How can all this be? I cannot see.

My Travels

Yesterday at 3:29 I got up and got dressed and drove to the bus station with my Mom the bus took us to the Airport. We had to wait three hours till we got to board our plane. When the plane was landing my ears hurt really bad, then it landed and they stopped hurting. Then we had to wait five hours for our next plane. Meanwhile I watched some star treks. Then we got to board our plane. I wasn't very happy because I had to stop in the middle of a star trek, but anyway, we boarded my plane and I was so happy with the pilot, because he didn't make my ears hurt. I arrived at America and my cousins are here. There are three that live in this house, there names are Charlie, Kristen, and Ethan. Charlie is thirteen, Kristen is eight, and Ethan is five. Ethan and Kristen are at daycare because their mom has to work. I am home with Charlie and mommy. I haven't written on my blog for a long time so I had to catch up.

The Little Boy Justin

There once was a little boy named Justin, He was in "The Family International" and he really liked candy, but his mom and dad would not let him have candy. So, one night he took his backpack which had only his wallet and a little money inside his wallet and he walked a mile or so into the forest, where he found a candy store. He thought, "I need to have some candy." So, he went into the store and spent all his money on candy. He ate some of the candy and he got full so he decided to save some of the candy for later.
He went home and put the candy under his pillow. In the morning after he ate some candy he didn't feel good, he knew he had to tell his dad about the candy. After he told his dad his dad said, "son, I am glad you told me that you took the candy. I want to think about it for a little while, I think that you have had enough trouble already, just go and lie down and I will talk to mom about it." Later his dad came to check on him He said, "I talked to mom about what happened and I think that you already learned your lesson and you won't do it again. I love you! Come give me a hug."

School and Sickness

Today I did school, but then I got sick so I stopped. I went and lay in bed and by the afternoon my headache was so terrible. My mom gave me kids tylonol and after about half an hour I was feeling better. I still have a fever, but I can type this because my head doesn't hurt anymore. Tonight I was playing Mavis Beacon, I am learning to type. I am going to go see my grandpa on July 16th by plane. I want be able to touch type pretty good by the time I leave.

Ice-skating Fun

A few months ago (When we were in America) we went ice-skating. It was my third time to go ice-skating. I was so happy! We were freezing and 2 babies were there. They were wrapped in billions of blankets. Us kids each got a blanket too. One of the babies went to sleep, but the other one we were considering taking him on the ice, of course we didn't, he was a little too young for that but now he is old enough.
At first the Ice-skating staff gave almost everyone figure skates, but would give them hockey skates if they asked. so, I got figure skates, because it was the only skates I had ever used, but my feet started hurting in them. I wanted to try the other kind of skates (also because my mom had that kind of skate), so I went to the guy and asked him for hockey skates, he handed me a red pair of sorta like tennis shoes skates. I tried them on and tried to go ice-skating with them. At first they were hard to manage, but when I got the hang of it, it was easier than the figure skates, so I had lots of fun.

My First Post

Tomorrow I am not having school, instead I am going to be with my mom. I will do lots of fun stuff. Tomorrow's "Fathers Day" we gave my friends dad his presents just a minute ago.

Here is a story of my life for you:

Three months ago, we went on a trip to El Paso, Texas and visited my friends Aunt. We went on a 3 day trip to "White Sands". It was a very long drive, when we finally got there, we started sledding and U. Stephen got the idea to attach a tarp to our sled. There was very strong winds and the winds pulled us when we sat on the sled. Then a park ranger came and said that it was extremely dangerous and a few people died from it and that we needed to stop. U. Stephen said, "Okay." but we didn't really understand exactly why he said what we were doing was dangerous, until he came back and explained that it just was a rule. even though what we were doing wasn't as dangerous as what others had done.
Then he left, after awhile he came back when we were sledding down the sand dunes, he brought us 2 kites, one was broken and the other wasn't, he said that somebody was flying them, broke one and the other he let go. So, he gave us the kites, we said thank you!! Then we learned how to fly a kite. It was a lot of fun
