Washington DC!

My CBG class is taking a trip to DC! We got to create our own itineraries, so not everyone is going to the same place. My Uncle  Brian is meeting us for lunch today and is going to the Library of Congress with us and then taking us to lunch tomorrow. We are going to see A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre as a class tonight, and then we are going to see the White House Christmas Tree. Then we go back to the hotel for journal writing and lights out. I have included a picture of what our train car looks like right now and a picture of our itinerary. More to come later!

Bookworm out! Peace!!

Adventures have kicked back up for Thanksgiving!

I am at my Mum-Mum's (my mom's mom) house for Thanksgiving. This is my cousin Emma, who is eight months younger than me. We are super excited to be together since she lives in Oregon. She flies in for holidays with her mom, dad, and little sister and brother. We both love Legos and Barbies!
We are having a wonderful time.

Lake Gaston

Crater Lake

On the way back from Lake of the Woods, we stopped at a beautiful lake called Crater Lake. It was formed 7,700 years ago when Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed into itself. Its deepest point is 1,943 ft below the surface of the lake. Its astounding clarity is caused by the snow and rain falling into it, filling it with water. It is the clearest lake in the world, and the deepest in the U.S. There are two island in the lake, and also two cones (rising islands). It has set the world record for Secci readings, 143 feet. A Secci reading is very simple. Scientists slowly lower a black and white disk into the water. You measure how clear the lake is by how long you can see the disk. Here are some pictures that I took while I was there. 

I love the intense blue coloring of it. The blueness of both the sky and Crater Lake is caused by the other wavelengths of the color spectrum being absorbed and the blue wavelength being scattered. 

S'mores

A great way to end our first day at Lake of the Woods:

Home?

This is home for the next few days...

Best Cousins

March Two Three Four

We took a walk into town on Friday afternoon to go to the library and get froyo.  Charlotte's flip flop broke on the way there, so we had to get her a new pair.  I got bad blisters on my feet, but Aunt Kristy and I popped them later.

Hi! My name is Bookworm. On this new blog, I will be posting about the adventures of yours truly. I love to read, and I am traveling a lot in the month of July, going to the lake with my family and much more. I love summer, and next year I will be a sixth grader. I am super excited to start this new blog, and I hope you all enjoy it.
Bookworm out. Bye!
