Brent on his field trip

It was fun, even though I didn't get to go into the creek. Here I am looking at a stick bug that lives in the water. He crawls into a mini-log.

I learned that you can use pills for pH testing. The pH of our creek was 8 and 7-8 are good.

The currents there are 20 seconds...we threw a plastic bug in the stream and timed how long to go a certain distance.

Oh, Miranda wanted to know yesterday why I didn't want to go to the 3-6th grade girls class on "Beauty." I told her adamantly, "I'm not into beauty. I'm into gansters!!!"

Bye,
Brent

My brain

July 2003.....Watching Brent hula hoop....and he can actually do it in almost slow motion and keep the hoop up. I tried and the hoop drops immediately to the ground. Brent looked at me considering the problem. "Anna, the reason you can't hula hoop is that your BRAIN is too big." Hmmmm.....I don't know what to make of that.
