Katie and the Clay Dudes

For my birthday, we went to a place in SF called the Zeum, where you can do all sorts of technology-related activities. First, we did the Claymation, a la Wallace and Gromit. Each of us got to make a clay figure, and then you pose them, moving a little bit at a time, and it makes a little movie you can take home. We did a movie called "Blairmore Buddies", featuring Uncle Steve, Aunt Jessica, the Goose, Boomer, and Bruno the Loveable Donkey!

I tried to post it here, but I couldn't figure it out.. aww..

It started with Bruno, twitching his tail and ears, when along came Boomer. They 'chatted', and then came the goose, as Aunt Jessica appeared in a nearby window. She went to see the animals, but then, look!!! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No!! It's Uncle Steve, soaring into the scene from above. What an entrance! Then, the goose bit Aunt Jessica, and she cried, with real tears and everything. Uncle Steve picked up a carrot and fed it to Bruno, then Aunt Jessica rode Bruno. Then everyone waved and took a bow, and that was the end.

Here's a picture of them:


And then, guess what came in the mail the other day! A really cute new Stone's Throw T-shirt, which I'm wearing right now. Mom took a picture. That's my tuba (well, it doesn't quite belong to me, but I got to take it home over the summer.)





Can't wait til this summer!!!
