The Pacific Crest Trail is 2,650 miles, if you try to do this hike it could take up to six months from start to finish!

"Apples" Planet Report

"Apple" had to give a report on a planet. She choose to do her's on Mars! We worked on it together she had to write it and give an oral presentation! She is in 3rd grade and I think she did a wonderful job! By the way she received an A on her whole project!


She had to make some type of model or poster on her planet Mars. We decided it would be fun to make a Mars cake! She helped make the cake and frost it. I thought it turned out pretty good!

Apples Field Trip

"Apples" class took a field trip to a small observatory at our local community college. I was lucky enough to go with her and enjoy the experience! She was getting ready to do a report on the planet Mars so it was really neat to go and learn about all the planets!


The college is right next to a State Park and the have a fish hatchery there. All the kids had a lot of fun feeding the fish and watching them jump out if the water!
