What I have been doing on Minetest

Because I'm not allowed to get Minecraft, I got this other game instead: Minetest! It is a free game that is like Minecraft, and it's open source! The only thing is there are no mobs, except for things that look like dogs and mud men. You can cook the dogs, but you can not eat them. The mud men look like mud and they shoot fireballs at you. I am building a castle on the game, and it is looking awesome. Here is a video:

Volkswagen take the stroller to a new level

The car company Volkswagen is using the technology in their cars, and making strollers more safer! They are still working on what to put in it, but right now they have a few things: braking so the baby won't get hurt, following the person in front of them and keeping a distance between walls, people and cars.

Ski Trip

Yesterday, we went on a ski trip. It was great fun! On the way there, I kept puking in the car (in a puking bag). Me and Angus kept making jokes about unicorns, zombies, dinosaurs and uni-saurs. When we got there, and we changed into our ski jackets and ski pants. Then we went into the rent room and got our ski boots on, and also got some skis. After that we trudged along to the ski grounds while holding our skis. I then did the beginner's lesson. It was a lot of fun, and we also got to do a race! After the lesson I went onto the moving ground bit, and slid off it when I got to the end. Then I skied all the down the Magic Carpet, and it was awesome! After a bit I also hi-fived Ben while skiing down. I also ate some lunch with Angus, and it was delicious after a lot of skiing, and I also drank from my juice bottle and my water bottle. So refreshing! Then I kept skiing for a while, then climbed up the mountain and slid down. After that, everyone started to do it. I had such a great day! Thanks to the teachers for organizing this and helping us!

My birthday party

Preparations:
1. Lego gummies: A few days before the party I used a Lego silicone ice cube trays from trade-me to make these Lego style gummies. The recipe for them is here. Also, here are some pictures of the finished thing.

2. Cake: I had planned on making a minecraft cake that looks like the one in the game, but the fondant icing was too expensive. Instead, I only used chocolate fondant. We had to knead the fondant a lot, to make it really soft. Then we rolled it flat and wrapped it around the cake. Here are some pictures.

The party: First, all my friends came and put the presents under our living room table. Then we played with my kinetic sand, and looked at some of our board games. After that we played a game I made called 'stick treasure hunt'. When we finished that, we came back in and the winners got their prize. We then ate the Lego gummies I made, and then opened all my presents! I got gobstoppers, minecraft toys, a Lego technic kit and a few more things. We ate the birthday cake after that. It looked awesome! Unluckily, we didn't get the cake into our pictures before I blew the papercraft things off. Have a look at the pictures below!

Thanks to Jimmy, Callan, Griffin, Jacob and Mackenzie for coming to my birthday party! I hope you liked it!

Solar plane begins record attempt

At June 3, there was a Swiss pilot called Andre Borschberg who had begun a mission to fly a plane from China to Hawaii across the Pacific ocean! The catch was the plane is one that used no fuel, but instead solar power. It was called the 'Solar Impulse 2'. The plane's Lithium-ion batteries meant that he needed to have clear skies for as long as possible before it was dark. Andre was a professional flier. He was in no doubt how tough the mission would be.
