Morning Meanderings; The Exiting Escapades of Mom and i

This morning Drea, a lady that works at my mom's work, came over to our house for breakfast. We had waffles, eggs, sausage, and OJ. (orange juice) Afterwards, Mom and i went with Drea to Mom's work because Drea forgot something at her office, and had to get it to do some errands she wanted to do. We got there, grabbed the stuff, and headed out. We told Drea that we didn't need a ride home, because we were going to take the light rail. We took the light rail all the way to Downtown, looking for a place called Rumpelstiltskin, a yarn shop. After asking two people and walking at least a mile and a half, we finally found it. We checked it out and then looked inside a teashop. After looking at that, we investigated some sleeping trains, and then went down the road to the Capitol.After meeting up with Dad and Alex, over to the Cathedral, but it was closed, so we said farewell to Dad and Alex, and then went back to the Capitol. We checked it out for like an hour or two, and then left for home. We caught the train and took it to Tiber, where we walked home. I spent some quality time with mom, and we had fun,too!

The Pros and Cons of Staying Home Sick

Sunday i guess my tummy didn't like me because it tossed it's cookies, and on Monday i couldn't go to school, also because i had a small fever.

Pros: i got to watch TV, i got some beauty sleep in, and missed my science test!

Cons: On Monday, we were going to make waffles in class and apple award shopping, and i missed out. i also had to take this disgusting orange medicine stuff. And i still have to take that dumb science test! (Apple awards are awards that are shaped like apples, and you get them when you behave. Apple award shopping is when you turn in apple awards for a little ticket that says, 'two apple awards for one spelling test' which means if you buy that ticket you turn over two apple awards for the ticket and if you turn in the ticket, you don't have to do the spelling test.) i don't mind if i missed out, though!

Picture up top is me, sick.

Yolo Bypass Wildlife Refuge

We are past the Causeway! We usually just turn and go down the Levee to a road and go on that to Davis. But today we went down the levee and turned on to the road going the other way. We found out that this side is the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Refuge. It has a really long levee going out for miles away from the Causeway. It is Super cool!

Yolo Causeway flooded

This is how flooded the Causeway is! Usually there is only a tiny amount of water, but WOW! Awesome!

A Big Tree in Discovery Park!

On our bike ride so far, as you can see, we are in Discovery Park, and have seen many amazing birds! We have seen flickers, cormorants, a Great Blue Heron, a turtle, egrets, two light colored hawks, and countless normal colored hawks. Stay tuned for more about our ride!

Mushrooms on the trail

Saturday must be International mushroom day! This is the first bike ride of 2010 from home, and right after the Watt Bridge, we saw these gigantic mushrooms by the side of the road, and the pretty one!
