My Sports Card Collection

My Sport Card Collection 

 I enjoy my sport cards, and I am on a quest to get more. I think it is a grand idea to get my sport card collection active, so I declared that I would put on my blog. While my friend Bryce was over, we worked hard to complete this post.  Bryce and I are going to have a conversation on sports cards.

"Bryce,  how many baseball cards do you have approximately?" questioned Peter. "I suspect you have around 30." 

"The real answer is rounded to about sixty cards, but I have never counted them," answered Bryce. 

"If you were to collect another sport, what would you choose?" asked Peter ." I think that you would collect hockey cards."

"Well, if I wanted you to like my answer it would be football, but in actuality your guess hit the dot," said Bryce. "Hockey is my favorite sport aside from baseball, and my favorite player would be the captain of the Los Angeles Kings,  Dustin Brown!" exclaimed Bryce.

This is the cover of my binder, and it says : Peter's Sports Cards collecting and trading. It is one inch binder, and it has over 100 cards in it.

This is the front page of my binder, and they are all Green Bay Packers.  All the players names are: Casey Haward, the Green Bay Packers team card, Clay Matthews,  Randall Cobb, Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson,  another Jordy Nelson, B.J Raj, and another Randall Cobb.

This is Aaron Rodgers.  His number is twelve, and he has a recent shoulder injury. So, his back up quarterback, Scott Tolzien, is filling his position grandly! He is the main quarterback for the Green bay Packers, but he is recovering from a injury.

Do you collect sports cards?

Do you have any favorite players?

Have you ever seen regular quarterback been replaced by backup quarterback?
What's your favorite team?
If you have one favorite football team, name you favorite quarterback, defender, lineman, wide receiver, tight end, and backup quarterback.
I challenge you!

My Dad's trip to London

                                                           My Dad's Trip To London

My dad went to London for a business trip. I asked him to take some photos of London landmarks for my blog, and he came of home with some stellar images to share with you. He even got me some souvenirs from the United Kingdom.

These are the things my dad brought me from London: A street sign, a notebook, pens and pencils and some fabulous post cards.

During the trip, my dad went to a Chelsea Football Club match. They were going up against a German team called Schalke in the Champion's League Tournament. Chelsea won  3-0 in their home stadium which is called Stamford Bridge (notice the street sign above).

My dad could see the entire field from his seats.  It was a great game, and Chelsea went home happy. Schalke did not.

These are double decker buses. They are very common in London.  Usually, they are red.They have staircases in them. A bus ride  in London costs 2 pounds and 40 pence. How much does that cost in US currency?

These three pictures are pictures of Buckingham Palace. On the left, you'll see the front gates. On the right, you'll see the whole front of the Palace. In the middle, you'll see the royal guards who watch the Palace 24/7. Their hats are very humorous to me, because they are tall and fuzzy.

 Do you notice anything different about this car?

I'll give you a hint:  In London, cars don't drive on the

same side of the road that we do here in the USA.

This is a London phone booth. They are very known around the world as a symbol of London. 

This is big Ben, a gigantic clock in London. If you saw Cars 2, you would have seen Mater, Finn Micmissle, and Holly Shiftwell tied to the gears. It is a very old clock. It is one of the most important landmarks in London.

This leads to the London underground. If you look very closely, you'll see a sign saying "Underground". That leads to the London subway system, which is an easy and fast way to get to around this world class city.
