Christopher is very tired.
We took the bus to the Wadi Degla protectorate park on Sunday to go and study the rock formations there. Most of the rock is limestone, which is whitish and has holes in it. When you kick it or blow on it, it seems like sand comes off of it. The kids all thought it was sandstone because of all the sand, but it is rougher to the touch than sandstone.
We ate lunch and then went on a scavenger hunt. The kids had to find and describe 3 different types of rocks, make observations about the soil, and find things that did not belong in the park.
We found lots of stuff that should not have been there. Some people had not been following the rules of the park. They were littering! There were plastic bottles and glass pieces and chips bags. We talked about the consequences of littering and what we can do to help protect the environment.
I’ll put up some pictures next week because Mommy forgot her camera. I’ll have to get some from K.
Also we’ll have Sports Day (field day) on Friday. Mommy’s not happy to have to get up early on her day off, but we’ll be in charge of the obstacle course. Everyone should help cheer for the blue team, because I don’t think Mommy’s going to be awake enough to cheer.
See you next time.
Chris
