Guinea Pigs

I like guinea pig because my aunt has one. Guinea pigs were found in South America. They were originally called cuy, but are known as cavy and guinea pig. People think the name comes from the money called a guinea. People also think the name comes from the place called New Guinea.

Guinea pigs come in many different sizes and colors. They also come in many styles of hair. They live four to five years. A guinea pig once lived for fourteen years. They have one to six babies. One had seventeen babies. Guinea pigs can become pregnant six to forty-eight hours after giving birth.

There are many interesting facts about guinea pigs. Peruvians consume an estimated sixty-five million guinea pigs each year! In Peruvian culture guinea pigs are so famous that there is a painting of Jesus and his disciples eating guinea pig meat. In South America people still eat guinea pig. When guinea pig is eaten it is served with corn beer. Everything I learned helps me know that guinea pigs were created by God

Davy Crockett & the Bears

Davy Crockett was a great bear hunter & pioneer. He owned eight dogs that helped him hunt bears. He once killed one hundred & five bears in one year! Another time he almost froze to death while crossing a river. He figured how to stay warm by climbing up a tree & sliding back down. Sometimes he would find some scratches from a bear's claw on a tree. Then he would look at the scratches so he could find if the bear went up or down the tree. He also killed forty seven bears in one month. He was the greatest pioneer of all!

Christmas Time is Here

Merry Christmas! I had a wonderful Christmas! Daddy was off work for 17 days! We all got sick but have gotten over it. I got some really fun presents. One of them was some racing games for the Wii. I did some of one & got third place. I also bought a Hex bug with a gift card from my aunt & uncle. Elijah & I also used our gift cards to buy a Hex bug battle bridge. Elijah & I got a Lego castle from Uncle Richard. I had a great time!

The Eagles Nest Gang

I am making a club. The club will be called The Eagles Nest Club. We have a secret code. ( Please don't tell anyone!) The members are my friends Noah & Alex. If you want to be a member, tell me when I see you. The code is numbers = letters. We also use hieroglyphics. We are secret agents & Bible explorers. I hope you want to be a member!

The Foshay Tower

A few days ago Mommy, Caleb, Elijah, Grandma, and I went to the Foshay Tower. This skyscraper was built in 1929 and was built by Wilbur B. Foshay. This tower was built in honor of the Washington Monument and in the shape of the Washington Monument. It also was the tallest skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota until the 1970's. The Foshay Tower has 32 levels including the observation deck. When we went up there it was cold! Some skyscrapers were really close! I had a great time!

Under The Sea

I went to Underwater World a few days ago. My Aunt Cathy came with us. I got to see Sharky & got my picture with him. I ate at Rainforest Cafe. Elijah was scared of the gorillas there. Elijah & I got animal balloons. We saw jellyfish with mirrors by them. I touched starfish & crabs. I saw sharks & stingrays. They're were fish that stood still.I saw turtles & sawfish. I touched a turtle. I had a great time!

My Trip To Duluth

A few months ago I went to Duluth. I hadn't gone since I was five years old. While I was there I saw Addie, Josie, Ella, & Gwen. I went to Duckberry Falls. I had a great time swimming there! We saw the lift bridge going up. We went to a really cool park. I saw a iron ore boat. Our room in the hotel was right next to a train track. I saw a train go by. We went to Enger Tower. The last day I got sick.
