corvettes and caves

Hello Kahunas, I bet you are very busy getting ready for the end of the school year. I bet your heads are just full of all the things you have learned from Miss Cavanaugh and your other teachers. I am learning too. I went to a Corvette Museum. That is a kind of car that goes really fast and looks really cool too. I went into the Kids Zone and got to work on play cars. I worked on the engine, and underneath on a platform that slides underneath the car. It is called a creeper. I worked on an assembly line putting on tires and the went to a diner for a treat and then took a rest in a big tire. I saw big engines and I saw what the inside of a car seat looks like. There was a giant picture of a Corvette, but when I looked closely at it, I discovered it was made with thousands of little pictures of people that have Corvettes of their own. I tried to find a picture of my friend Carol because she used to have a Corvette, but there were too many pictures. I found a little painted Corvette outside that I liked but I decided if I drove by myself, Cmor would miss me and I would miss him too.

I went to another park about Abraham Lincoln. This one was where he was born. There were 56 steps leading up to his house. One step for each year of his life. The building I climbed up to was not the house where he lived. Inside was a replica of his house in the same place he was born. They put it inside a big building to protect it. The big building had 16 windows and 16 flower rosettes on the ceiling to help us remember he was our 16th President. I went for a walk down the bottom of the hill to a little spring where water came out. That was where Abraham Lincoln and his family got water in buckets to carry up the hill to their cabin. That was a long way to go.

I found another Dinosaur Land and played for awhile. One tried to pretend he would bite me but I was not afraid. I met a baby in an egg. It was a girl baby, so I named her Julie. Isn't that silly?
The next day I went into Mammoth Cave National Park. Did you know that National Parks belong to all of us in America. That means that all of you are part owners of  caves and waterfalls and campgrounds and beautiful mountains. They are for all of us to enjoy. There are lots of caves in Mammoth Cave Park and I went in two of them. It is very dark inside and there are lots of stairs to climb up and down. A ranger walked in front of us and one in back of us, so no one would get lost.  I went into a museum and saw models of the caves and met a turtle. I liked the caves but I like the sunshine too.  I will tell you more later.
