I had a busy few days and don't want to move from this place. I want to lay on the couch eating ice cream and watch a cartoon since I can't be at a pool!!!!!
What have I been up to?? Well, here it is!

Friday:
Our friends picked us up early in the morning to go to Philadephia. We went to the Insectarium and to Ringing Rocks Park. This day was one of the best days we've had!!!
We learned about different insects and arachnids. And saw a display kitchen full of regular cockroaches (German Cockroaches) and waterbugs (Oriental Cockroaches). I got to eat a worm larvae which didn't taste bad, but I've eaten a Firefly before so I'm not scared of that stuff. My mom tried the worm larvae and almost VOMITED RIGHT THERE!!!! My brother did not want to try it, and was worried about the spiders, he is arachnaphobic. We were able to hold the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach which wasn't a big deal since we've held them before. My favorite part of the tour was mounting our own butterflies!!
All of us kids played and had so much fun. Most of them are my friends and we always have a good time when we're together.
Some of us went to Ringing Rock park after the Insectarium. We hit the rocks with hammers and some of them ring. It is a big mystery why they ring.Some people say it's because some of the rocks have a lot of iron in them so they are almost like metal. People also say that if you take a ringing rock out of the park, it will no longer ring.
Our moms climbed some rocks, but us kids went around the whole park!!! I felt like an explorer on an expedition, I felt like Sacajawea and the boys were Lewis and Clark :-) We had so much fun exploring on our own. My friend Ethan has been there before and kept us safe.
Rotten Saturday!!!:
Was a little rotten. I had my track meet and didn't get a medal. I just barely made the longest jump mark :( We have another meet next wekend. I don't know which area I want to compete in.
Sunday:
It is sweltering outside, I want to be in a pool!!!!! Since I can't do that I will sit still on the couch eating ice cream and watching a cartoon. PLEEEEEEEESE MOM???? <3

LOL. Yes angel cakes, you can watch Teen Titans.
Good blog! We did have a fun time. I wish I didn't have a such a disgust for roaches, but I am glad that you and your brother are brave enough to hold them and eat them etc...
P.S. You and your brother better not get ice cream on the couch! <3
Wow, you did have an amazing day on Friday. Sometimes it is wonderful to be home and just chill out. I loved looking at the pictures that your mom posted of the gross insects. I have a confession to make: I am scared and repulsed by them just like your mom. I would say that it is a grown up thing but I don't think it is because I was always repulsed by them even when I was your age. So I find you very, very brave.

Did I hear Lewis and Clark expedition?
That sounds fun! How loud did those rocks ring?
Great post! You have a pretty cool mom that takes you to all these neat fieldtrips. Maybe she'll take me with you. :)
That is kinda brave to hold a cockroach.Grossssssssssssssssssssss
Sky, the rocks ring as loud as when you hit a tuning fork.
Melissa, I think bugs aren't that bad. Remember I am half boy! And you will have to like the GERMAN Cockroach they speak German...you will be able to understand them!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Angel, you and Sky can come on our trips too
:-]
What does mounting butterflies mean.Were they real.
Yes Melissa they were real butterflies. They were dead, and we pinned them onto styrofoam. The workers sprayed something on them to make them stiff. Then they put them in a box for each of us. The pictures of me and Kai are when whe had to hold down the wings with paper strips (the butterflies are very fragile), then we held them down with the pins. You can see mine when we meet up again. Kai bought a cool (dead) Rhinoceros beatle. You can see that too!
