Going to the California Academy of Science
This was one of my favorites. It one of my favorites because we got to see the butterflies and a lot of insects. It was really hot in there and i never found out why? But maybe someone asked an i was just not paying attention. There food was really good even though Yiga and I already had lunches but we got enough money to buy a order of fires. An they were really yummy. I didn't like the spiders, they were just freaky they were so BIG an had really long legs. But before the butterflies we got to go on the roof and it was so cold up there even with a warm jacket. I really enjoyed this one and i think every one did too.

This was my first time going to the California Academy of Sciences and it was amazing! I loved going into the rain forest dome because it was really pretty and interesting to see the butterflies land on people. I also liked seeing the different insects that were in the habitat of a rain forest for example, toads and spiders. I also enjoyed going into the African section where they showed the different kinds of big cats like tigers and lions, but they were fake, not real, live cats.
One of my favorite visits was going to the aquarium and looking at all the sea creatures. I have never seen such big fishes before; They were humongous! But some of them were smaller than my pinkie, which was also really cool. I saw sting ray, tiger sharks, and many other cool creatures that I have never seen before with some funky names. Seeing Clark, the albino alligator, was so cool. I heard there was an albino alligator, but never got a chance to see him. He was with a buddy, a snapping turtle. I couldn't really recognize what it was at first,so I asked Mr. Gould and he told me it was a snapping turtle. I was surprised because it didn't even look like a turtle.
Out of the whole day, I liked the food the most! There was definitely some good food there. I got two garlic breads, two pork buns, fries and a sandwich I already packed. It was a good lunch. At the Academy of Sciences, it wasn't only about animals, but it was also about the fun and excitement of science. That it isn't boring in general. There are some good points in science.
