Ouchy

Today my brother and I were playing with our sister in our back yard by the big tree log and when she dropped her doll down by the tree it landed on a wasps nest. Then we started to cry and run to our mommy because these bad bees were biting us.
It was not fun but mommy saved us and put on our bites baking soda and vinegar and it was not hurting at all. Only later at night before I went to sleep it was hurting me again but she put some after bite cream and we were ok. I got 2 bites and my brother got 6 bites. My sister didn't get any bites. I was glad that she was ok and didn't get hurt.

After that we learned that there is a wasp/bee eating bird and loves to eat wasps. I wish I had one of those birds. Some spiders also eat wasps.
We are all feeling better but that was not a fun experience but we learned a lot about wasps too.

Praise to the man-that is also a church song
Book of Mormon stories-this is also a church song

I also composed my own song and my mom really likes it.

otters

 there are otters that live in ponds, rivers,lakes and in the Pacific ocean .river otters are not as big as sea otters .sea otters eat a lot of sea urchins  in fact if there were no sea otters in the ocean the urchins population would grow and grow they and other sea animals would eat all the plants and then there would not be anymore plants  then the sea animals would all die . so sea otters are important . river otters eat fish and live in kelp forest. here is a fun fact i know about otters i know that group of otters is called a ( raft ) otters are very fast swimmers     they have predators but humans are there greatest threat so pleas try too help otters  they are one of my favorite animals.

fresh squeezed lemonade

Today i set up a lemonade stand i had fun. reading my book while waiting for customers. When people came i gave them lemonade and they gave me money. Each cup was a dollar because it was fresh squeezed.

My recipe for lemonade is 2 lemons with pulp, 8 spoons of sugar and water and ice til it tastes good.

I marketed my lemonade by making a sign with cut out blue and yellow letters that said "Fresh Squeezed Lemonade - Ice Cold" and I put it in a frame by the street.

I think I had 6 customers and they bought 10 cups of lemonade. It was a very hot day and it felt like more than 100 degrees. I was in the shade with an umbrella though.

I spent $6.50 for lemons, sugar and cups.

I earned $10.

My profit was $3.50.

It's fun to make money while you read your book.
