This week the family read more from Pollyanna, and then went on vacation. We spent the week learning about the desert. Here are a few things that we learned:
- how to pack effectively for a trip to the desert, and how tetris helps you fit it in the car
- how cold it can be at night, versus how warm it is in the day in the desert
- what swimmer's itch is (and how to be grateful we didn't catch it)
- what plateaus are
- what makes the rocks and sand so red
- what vegetation is found in the desert
- what sand dunes are
- what dune buggies can do on sand dunes
- how it feels to be in a sand storm
- how to disassemble and reassemble a tent three times in a severe thunderstorm
- what coyotes sound like at night
- what other animals can be found in the desert
- how to dig deep holes in the sand
What a fun, learning adventure we had as a family this week!
