Science

Today we went to a science home schooling thing in Columbus. When we got there the guy talked about the trees we would see like oak, and pine. Then we got into groups and went to measure tree's. To measure them first we took out a long tape measure and stepped 10 meters away from the tree we also measured how long it was around the tree which we used a regular tape measure. We wrote down all the information on a piece of paper including the weather. After this both of the groups met up and we went to a lab to make sure the measurements were accurate. In the lab there were also cockroaches or should I say ( squealing )!
When you touched one they made a squeezing sound! In the lab we put on the measurements and they were..........ACCURATE YAY! When we finished this we went back to the car and drove home. When we got here I went to my friend Kate's. Me and Kate played and went to a baseball game. When I came home I bounced on the trampoline and then called it a day

Airplanes Cake Trampoline And.......SLEEP

Yesterday and the day before we celabrated Gabes 14th B day. On Monday we went to a Air Force museum with Amelia, Gabe, Dad, Me, and Gabes friend Peter. We woke up at like 8:30 and went to pick up Gabe's friend Peter. Then we started driving twords the museum on the way we stopped at a Mc. Cafe and ate. Then when we arrived we went to go get our rist bands for a tour we would take later on that day. As we waited for the time to go to the meeting spot for the tour we looked at the older airplanes. There were prepeller air plains and outfits they used to wear in the air force. One of the exzibits was a crashed airplane with a guy scolding the pilot. When we were done with this we went on the tour we rode a big YELLOW school bus to the tour part then we got off and looked at some of the planes. We got to see a air plane that John Kennedy flew in I think! Then we went back to the museum there we got hot dogs for I don't know dinner lunch! After we ate we looked at a few more airplanes and then went to watch a movie about the airforce. It was pretty boring so i'm not gonna ggo on and on about it. It just showed airforce pilots training. After the movie we were gonna see the wright brothers memorial but it turned out to be a golfing thing. We got milk shakes on the way back at arby's too. Then when we got to giant eagle we got stuff for a SLEEP OVER. This was Gabes sleepover by the way. lol I will blog about that NEXT time!

Maple syrup

Today we went to Dawes Arboretum for a home schooling maple syrup tour. When we got there we started the tour by walking through the big parking lot and then we went to our first stop. When the pioneers made maple syrup they would put a large hole in the tree and scoop the sap out with a ladle. They soon noticed that this caused the trees great damage and some died in one year! Also when they would cook it they would wait for the maple syrup to turn to sugar. Also we learned about a bird none as the woodpecker. The wood pecker used to peck at each tree and go around a few times and by the time it came back to the first tree sap was dripping wich had attracted bugs that the bird ate! There were also a few other stops before we got to a big wooden cabin inside there was maple syrup over a stove heating also a fire of course lol. While we were in here we even got to sample some of the syrup! yay! After the lof cabin we went back to the welcome center to the discovery center down stairs. There was two snakes some bees and a bird watching place. We saw a bunch of birds and the lady who did the tour let us touch the snake! After this we talked a bit and then we went back home to get ready for agility. At agility we did drills (one is called the super man what you do is you lay on the ground and put your feet and arms in the air for as long as you can!) and I fell in a giant tire that I was suposed to push over and wait for it to come down till I jumped in it I went to early BOOM it hurt lol! Well thats what I did today see ya!
