Whats your fav animal

Great Adventure was a great adventure!

Yesterday, I went to Great Adventure. We went on a Safari. My favorite animal was an elk because it kept licking the window of the car. The ostrich was pecking at the window because it wanted potato chips. My favorite ride was the runaway train. It a roller coaster. I liked it because it was kind of scary.

I went on it six times. I liked the tiger show. White tigers were chasing the balloons that the trainer was holding. The tigers were really big and fierce looking. I can't wait to go back again. Maybe this time Jessica, Joseph, and Maryann can come. I hope you all can come, too.

Owl Pellets

Yesterday, I dissected an owl pellet with tweezers. It looked like a big, furry meatball and had bones in it. I found two skulls -- one was a bird and one was a rodent. We found vertebra, tiny ribs, jaw bones and a whole bunch of other bones. It was fun and cool.

An owl pellet is what an owl spits up. It is all the stuff that they can't digest.

My mom bleached the bones and then dropped it all over. We wanted to put it together like a puzzle, but I think she lost some.
