Tahoe

Jan 24, 2026, by Ryan

My family went to Lake Tahoe in December. When we were there, it was just raining cats and dogs. It took 8 to 12 hours to go to Lake Tahoe. That night, I hoped the snow would come down from the sky.

On the second day of Lake Tahoe, it was still raining outside. My parents decided to look around the resort. The resort was really big. It is about 6000 acres. After we looked around the resort, we came back to the hotel . We relaxed on a cozy couch and then slept.

The next day while I was eating my delicious breakfast, the snow was raining down. Right after I ate my breakfast, my family went outside and headed to the gondola. We rode the gondola to the summit. 15 minutes later, we went out to the snowfield. I had my first snowman, and I had a snow fight with my dad. Also, I rolled down the hill. After playing in the snow, my family came back to the hotel and rested.

On the last day of Tahoe, we went to the hot tub and relaxed. Also, there is a pool where we can do a polar bear plunge. When I got inside, it was so cold that I literally freaked out and jumped back into the hot tub. 1 hour later we went to the arcade. We played the game until it was 9 p.m. my mom said to go to sleep early because we had to leave at 7 a.m.

In my opinion this vacation was the best, and I want to visit Lake Tahoe next December or January.

Have you ever gone to Lake Tahoe

Jan 24, 2026, by Grace

Have you ever gone to Lake Tahoe? If not then let me convince you to go. First we need the necessities. The most important thing is to bring water and warm clothes. Most people don’t know this but you should bring sunglasses and sunscreenย  because you’re closer to the sun than normally. I went hiking, sledding, and skiing and it was SO MUCH FUN. I went skiing at Mt. Rose. Mt. Rose had a lot of skiing places, but since there wasn’t enough snow, only 4 areas were open.

ย Mt. Rose was a lot of places to eat and rest, like, for example, we went to the sky bar to rest but got kicked out because I was 10. I went on the โ€œmagicโ€ and got to a hill. It was called “Show Off,” and it was for easy/beginner. I could only go there because it was the only easy/beginner skiing route that was open. We were going to go to Mystic, Spellbound, and other beginner skiing routes, but they were sadly all closed because of not enough snow in the places.ย 

If you want to sled, if it’s going to snow or if there is already snow, just go to a place that’s kind of on a hill and sled. We did that, and it was so much fun. We went near Carson City. I built a snowman there too. I named them Lummi, Bobby, Snow, and Kittchick. I named one Kittchick because it looked like a cat at first, but since my dad distorted it, he tried rebuilding it, but it got changed into a chick, so that’s how he got his name. The rest I named them that because I thought they were cute names.ย 

I don’t think I really hiked, but I took many pictures.ย  I went to a side of the lake and walked about a mile, and it was fun. We saw a lot of stuff. I even ate lunch there. We ate a lot of meat, but it was good. At the other place we stopped near the snow guys, and we took some pictures, but that was it. They were beautiful, though, and the sun was kind of setting, but it was only around 3-4 pm. We drove a lot looking for places to eat, and we found one, but it took us a long time, but the food was delicious, so it’s a loss-win, but it’s fine.ย 

In all, Lake Tahoe is a fun and beautiful place to visit. There are so many things to do and see. We ate and explored many places. I hope I can go again, and now you know why I love Lake Tahoe, and I hope I convinced you to go on an adventure in lake tahoe.

Lake Tahoe Trip

By Leo, Jan 24, 2026

info

Lake Tahoe is a 10-hour drive from Carlsbad. There is snow all around, and it is pretty cold. It has some popular places like Tahoe Treetop, Ridge Rider Mountain Coaster, and Lake Tahoe Beach. There is a skiing and snowboarding place.

what I did

I went to a beach and went skiing every day, and I found out that I’m pretty good at it. but there was too much driving, and almost 2 days were spent if all the driving was combined. I was exhausted after the trip, but it was worth it i had some fun time there.

what I felt like at/after the trip

On the first day I woke up at 5 am to pack up and get ready to leave. It took more than 10 hours, and I was tired in the car. I slept for 5 hours in the car and played games for the remaining 5 hours. Then on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th days, it was super fun playing there, and on the 6th day, I drove back to my house, and I was super tired.

why I went to tahoe

I usually hate going on a trip, but this time I went on a trip because I used to love snow, and going to Tahoe was the only way to see snow again, but I didnโ€™t know how much snow there was. I still took the chance and went to Tahoe.and I was lucky I did because there was a large amount of snow on the ground; the snow came up to my leg! I could barely walk because of the amount of snow. My dad had to attach a chain on the wheel to make the car move.

conclusion

In conclusion, Lake Tahoe is a popular place that has snow; you can ski, snowboard, and build snowmen. Itโ€™s a 10-hour drive from Carlsbad, but itโ€™s worth it. Because you can see snow, if you want to play in snow, you can play a lot and have a lot of fun. I hope this article helped you learn about Lake Tahoe.

Bye.

Balboa Park Jan 17th, 2026

In Balboa, me and my family, except for my sister, went to Balboa to pick up trash on January 17, 2026. It was very fun, and we saw a lot of stuff, but one of them was a moldy piece of bread with crumbs, so we picked that up, and then my dad found a large glass bottle, and then we saw squirrels when we were picking trash up. When we were taking a break, a squirrel came up very close and touched a little bit of my hand, and it was really cute, and I got peanuts to feed it, but it had already disappeared. I explored the cultural houses, and then me and my family went to Zion market to buy fruits and veggies and then I came back home, written by Graceee

Lake Tahoe

Places to go: Heavenly Village, Zephyr Cove, Ski resort (Mt. Rose was cheapest, and good for beginners like me), Emerald Bay Beach, Cave Rock, etc.

Lake Tahoe was a very amazing and fun place to go. There was a lot of snow. I and my family built snowmen, skied, and sledded. It took us quite a while to go up there because after we went to Big Bear, we had to drive way up to my sister, and then we had to go to Lake Tahoe, so then it took us an extra two hours from Davis, but it was worth it to get to meet my sister (actually, we picked her). We saw amazing views at Lake Tahoe, it was spectacular. I recommend going there.

Big Bear Mountain

Nov 23-24, 2025

Where to go: Big bear village, Castle rock, Big bear discovery center, Alpine pedal trail, Solar observatory

Big Bear Mountain was a very fun experience. There was a lot of snow. It took us about four hours to go there because we were going to LA and then Big Bear from Carlsbad. We went to Castle Rock, Alpine Trail, and we saw amazing mountains. The view was astonishing.

Bees

Digital drawing by Grace

If you didnโ€™t know bees are getting killed by pool water. Bees are attracted to pool water and bees need to drink so they try to drink the water but drown or get poisoned. You can help by picking up bees from the pool every time you go swimming.ย 

Bees pollute by going to flowers and the pollen goes on their legs so the pollen that is sticking to the bees legs. When the bee is moving the pollen drops slowly.

A bee looks like a fuzzy, hairy insect with six legs with two pairs of wings, and three body parts: a head, thorax, and abdomen. They are usually black with yellow stripes on the abdomen. Female bees have a stinger, while male bees do not.

Bees make honey byย collecting nectar from flowers and processing it in the honey stomach, and regurgitating it to other bees who repeat the process. Finally, they deposit the mixture into honeycomb cells and use their wings to evaporate excess water, thickening it honey.ย 

In conclusion, the honeybee is more than just a source of honey; it is a fundamental pillar of our ecosystem and food supply. Without the tireless work of bees pollinating crops and wildflowers, a large portion of our food would disappear, and biodiversity would suffer immensely. The threats of pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change are real and must be addressed to ensure the survival of these crucial pollinators, securing not only their future but our own as well.
