Periodic Table of the Cookies

For school I had to make a Periodic Table of the Cookies, it was fun!

We made some sugar cookies and cut them out with an doughnut hole maker, then we baked them. When they were done I frosted them with color codes. The blank cookies are elements that have been discovered but have not found enough to really prove that they found it.

We shared some and ate some. We gave our neighbors who have alpacas named after Star Wars characters Po(Potassium), and some other ones that sound like Star Wars names.

We have eaten all the cookies, and they were good! Maybe we can make some more soon.

Making a Rope

On Saturday we went to Five Medals and made a rope. It was easy, once we learned how.

Audrey, Megan, and I made the rope. There were two crank machines. They were a board nailed to another board that we stood on, the cranks are attached to hooks with some string on it. There was also a thing that looks like a mallet with four valleys. First Audrey cranked her crank, it had four hooks on it. I think it was to twist the string, then once that was done Megan took the mallet and walked slowly while I turned the rope. My thing had one hook and was to twist all of them together. When we where done they took small pieces and tied it so it would not fall apart.

We had a lot of fun at Five Medals, I hope to go again next year!

 

Bubble

For Andrea’s birthday we went to the park. We played with bubbles while the food was cooking, Mom took pictures of us. Here is one of me in a bubble.

Canoeing

Yesterday we went canoeing. We went on the Elkhart river, from Shanklen Park to Ox Bow Park. Oma and Opa rented the canoes. It was fun, Mark and I shared a canoe. The river was fun, some parts were hard but fun. After that we had a party at Oma’s and Opa’s house for the 4 of July!

Easter Baby: Rey

Yesterday a new baby alpaca was born, her name is Rey.

She was 10 pounds when she was born. She is cute and cuddly. Her mom does not give enough milk yet.

She is small for a crea (new baby alpaca) but healthy.

I hope to see Rey again soon.

Lights

On Saturday we played with lights. Mommy took long exposure pictures while I stood still and Andrea and Megan traced me with glow sticks and a flashlight. We had fun. I hope to do again soon.
