Outside Steve Jobs' house

On Oct. 15th, 2011, my Mom took me to Steve Jobs house at Waverly street. Here are some pictures I took over there.

This is his house and the yard.

Apple trees at Steve Jobs' yard.

There are a lot of apple trees in his yard. Maybe he liked to sit down underneath an apple tree when he was thinking. Or maybe an apple happened to drop on his head and he gave it one bite, then he decided to call his company APPLE. See a lot of apples dropped on the ground.

Here are the flowers that people gave him.

This is the note I wrote to him.

There are apples people gave to him. All the apples have a bite on it.

These are the flowers with writing on it.

There are a lot of tall trees on the street. I imagine he walked on the street, thinking about how people going to like his iPhone.

Note to Steve Jobs

Tomorrow my mom will take me to Steve Jobs' house. Here is the note I wrote for him:

Dear Steve Jobs,

        I like to use iphone to play zombie vs. plants, and Angry Birds. My 5 year old brother also likes to use iphone to play zombie, Angry birds and watch Lego movies. My mom uses iphone to check word, and to check thing she doesn't know. Somethings on the iphone I use are useful like: help my mom find where she will go, take a picture, video tape a movie, look in the dictionary for words I don't know what they mean, and read books. Thanks so much. 

        Sincerely, Avery

Angry Bird Piggy on Pumpkins

Paint this cute piggy (from Angry Bird) on your pumpkin, easy and fun.

Now another piggy on his Halloween custom joins the party.

Meet piggy-pumpkins and their owners:

Visit Swank Farm with Corn Maze

Do you want to know about Swank Farm? There are Pedal karts, which you use to make it move with your feet. If there is someone in your family that can’t reach the pedals, you can carry them on the back.

There is also a jumping pillow, it is a pillow but it is as big as a basket court and very jumping. When you jump on it, you feel you are flying.

You could feed a goat, fish a goat, get a pumpkin from a pumpkin patch, go in a small corn maze or a big corn maze, ride in a cow-train with a tractor loader in the front, jump in a cow jumping house, and make corn seeds with a corn yourself.

You could also do things like shot a corn by air-cannon and shot pumpkin on a swing. The corn shot is very loud. The pumpkin is very hard to hit it.

At the famers market on site, you can find watermelon with yellow inside. It is very yummy.

If you are brave enough to go into corn maze at night, there will a ghost chasing you, so you better run or you will be cut, I guess.

Right by the farm, there is an airport. It is a very small one, but you will see airplane landing every two minutes.

This farm is the fun place for kids and adults and grandparents. So have fun at it. This Farm only opens till October, so you better hurry. Remember to bring a thick jacket because it could be windy and chilly at night.
