Weird mushrooms


These mushrooms are weird mushrooms because they look weird.  Some are big and some are small. But that's not the only reason that they're weird.  Some look different but they are the same type of mushroom.  Some try to look the same as a different mushroom, but they're actually a different mushroom. Mushrooms sometimes disguise themselves as poisonous mushrooms.

This picture was taken at Whipple Dam state park on a mushroom hunt with the Central Pennsylvania Mushroom Association. The brush in there is for cleaning them off and they cut the ends off so that they're not dirty in the basket.

Good-a-bye, a-bya.

The Franklin Institute


I went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. And I went through the heart maze and played the games and I even went into a real airplane.  Then we went to get some lunch and then we went back and did a pinball thing.  How the pinball thing worked was:  First you choose a wound. Then you pulled the trigger when the ball came up and the ball was the ball of destiny.   Then it fell into a hole and each hole had a different place and they would show how they would heal that wound in that time and in that place. For example, in ancient Egypt if you had the sniffles they put leeches on the sides of your nose.

I took this picture of Benjamin Franklin.  As we were leaving they were setting up for a wedding right around this statue!

I Like Doggies!

This is Copper and me. I am giving her a ball, but she doesn't want to chew it. She hurt her back by a car hitting her. And now she is getting taken care of by Beagle 911.

Beagle 911 is a place where beagles go when they hurt themselves or their owners can not take care of them. You can adopt a beagle from them.

(PS: The one in the background is Ginger.)
