La Paz!

We are at La Paz (and finally in the Sea of Cortez).

The dolphins are amazing! The species of dolphins we've seen the most are common dolphins (look them up!) They ride the bow more often than most other dolphins. One night we were sailing along and there was a little bit of bioluminescence and dolphins rode our bow for half an hour, and one jumped all the way out of the water!

There were manta rays at the last place we stayed and they were doing flips out of the water!

The picture here is of one of the boats we know getting rubbed by a grey whale.

Lizard

Last time I went up to Bachan's house my mom was putting things away and picked up a box, and behind it was a lizard. I caught it and put it outside. It was about 5 inches long plus a 3 inch tail.

Kate's puppy!

Cute cute cute cute cute cute CUTE!!!!!!!!

Chloe is adorable with her chubby snout,floppy ears chubby legs and stubby tail.
She really likes to tug on pants....even though I doubt the pants appreciate it.

Chloe also likes to play with my cat Mango.
Mango will jump up on to a fence barely out of Chloe's reach and tease her with his tail.

hawaii

I went to Hawaii about a month ago!

Bachan (my grandma) rented a house for my cousins (Drew and Kyle and Sara), my aunt (Cindy), my uncle (Bob), Todd, my mama, me and her to stay in. We went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and boogie boarding at a bunch of different places, Todd and Uncle Bob even tried surfing. Then we went to Sea Life Park where there are dolphins, turtles, bat rays, penguins, black tip reef sharks, sea lions and lots of colorful fish.

There was even a wholphin, a cross between a whale and a dolphin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nature studies-forest fire!!!!!!!

At nature studies a few days ago we hiked to a place where there had been a forest fire,
on the way there we collected edible plants.(such as huckleberry, redwood sorrel and dug fir.)
When we got to the forest fire had been some of the people in the plants group smeared charcoal over there faces-it looked just like black face paint!

At the end of the day we put the plants in a thermos of boiling water to make tea yum!!!!!!!!!
