My ears

I got my ears pierced in April, the last day of our family vacation. As you can see, I got little pink flowers with a little tiny white diamond in the middle. It didn't hurt, it just felt like a hard pinch. But anyway, now I have my ears pierced and I'm glad I chose to do so!

STORY

Once upon a time, there was a giraffe named Geraldine. Geraldine had a lot of big brown spots, and one very tiny one, her lucky spot. Geraldine was short for a giraffe, nobody knew why, she just was.

One summer Geraldine decided that she wanted to go on vacation. But, she didn't know where to go. She looked at last years summer travel report for advice.

After searching frantically for hours, Geraldine found out that Salt Lake City, Utah was a wonderful place!

But there was another problem. Geraldine lived in Mississippi! Luckily Geraldine had enough money for a plane ticket, so she rode on an airplane to Salt Lake City and had a wonderful time!

Bears are big.

Bears are strong.

Bears sleep all night long.

Bears are scary.

Bears are hairy.

And that is all for now!

Mesa Verde

For our family vacation in April, we went to Mesa Verde. This post tells about the neat stuff I learned there. We had to drive fifteen miles up the mountain to get there. Travel back 1,500 years with me, and let's explore the world of the Anasazi! ( pronounced ona-sauzie)

There were often passages like these two pictures next to kivas. ( you'll learn about kivas later in this post.) The rangers didn't tell us what they were for. I think they were used to get in and out of the kiva. When you comment, tell me what you think they were used for.

Tower. Room at the top. When a new baby was born, the parents would cut off the umbilical cord, and hang it from a window in a tower, like this one. If the baby died, they believed that the baby became part of the ceiling in that room.

Ceiling of a room. Not very safe. I bet the rain got right in!

Sorry it's blurry! Inside of a room. There is a passage that leads to another room. I bet you can see it , it's at the back of the room.

These two pictures are pictures of kivas. Kivas are kitchens or places where the indians had family reuinions. Kiva means "Room underneath."

I liked Mesa Verde. It was lots of fun! Fun Fact: Some of the trees in Mesa Verde are over 1,000 years old!
