Today was so fun and I think the whole STAMPS group got in touch with nature but that came later in the day. Today was very busy, one place to anot
her and then back to the place we started! We started the day by going to
Vendome Well. Wow, did that spring smell. The minerals in the water caused the Water to smell and taste like boil eggs! Any-who, next we went to one of my highlights of the day, Sulphur Elementary School. At this middle school the STAMPS group and I got to present
DC's national parks to a group of 6th graders. After the presentation, we got to go to
recess with them. (I had a swing
competition with Jordan.) Today was th
e first day we needed our
NPS passports. We got three stamps including and limited edition Jr. Ranger stamp. Finally my
favorite part of the day! Little
Niagara!!! In Chickasaw National Park there are a series of small falls, one being Little
Niagara. At Little
Niagara I became one with nature. The water was so cold but refreshing. One interesting fact is that an organization called the CCC built most of the mini falls and other park enhancing items in the 1930's. Overall its going to be hard for anything to top today. Thanks to Ranger Laura, Ms. Jessica, Superintendent Bruce, Mr. Chris, the sixth grade class at Sulphur Elementary School, Ms. Trenkle, and ALL OUR FOLLOWERS/VIEWERs!!!!!! (Ms. Sadie 8 Gradie - - This ones for you! Keep following!) Goodnite!!! :)
I know- the vendrome does smell bad, but all those minerals in the water are supposed to be very good for you. Did you drink any?
ReplyDeleteDid the students from Sulpher Elementary school have any questions about the national parks in DC?
ReplyDeleteAre national parks in Oklahoma like the national parks in DC?
I'm enjoying the updates. Especially since I did not get to go away for spring break.
Hi CJ. Who won the swing competition? I really enjoyed hearing about the work of the CCC. We have those workers to thank for many of the improvements to parks around the country. Do you think such an organization would work in today's world?
ReplyDeleteHey CJ, it sounds like you are having a great time. I believe the water smells worse than boiled eggs. I am truly enjoying reading about your adventure. I read last night and decided to get an earlier start to see what you guys are up to. I am in Utah and it is getting ready to snow here but i will be leaving tomorrow. Enjoy yourself and have fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! Why am I not on this trip? Oh! I forgot I stressed you so you needed the time away. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling "yuck" thinking of your hands being in the water if it really smells like rotten eggs. Boys will be Boys! Love the video piece. You seem to be enjoying that water just a little too much. I love the photo of you sitting on the rocks thinking (a penny for your thoughts).
ReplyDeleteHey CJ I hope you had fun at oklahoma you look cool standing by the water was it cold outside I saw you wearing you,re coat on.I recored wrestlemania so we can watch It when you get home.
ReplyDeleteHey CJ I sent you a message before But I think it may have went somewhere or to someone else. Hey it looks like you had a great time. Me and Michael were looking at some of you adventures Michael said that it looked like it was cold there by the way you were bundled up. It great that you were able to go, you have been doing some traveling lately. Well have more fun on your last day and get home safely.
ReplyDeleteHey CJ this is strange I don't know if my messages were getting through or not. I'm glad to see that you had a great time. See you on this side of the country.
