Camping trip and a surprise!

We went on a camping trip up in North Platte Nebraska and we stayed in a cabin with some friends of ours. It was fun except for the fishing part. NO FISH! There was another guy not far from us and he caught a huge catfish. He said he was estimating that the fish was abut 18 lbs. That is huge! And, it was a little bigger than my younger sister Adelaide! Oh well. Maybe next time we will catch something. Okay, let's go to the surprise.

We were at Nature Study Club this morning and Lucia found a monarch caterpillar! It is tinier than Katelyn, the previous caterpillar we raised. We had gotten Katelyn a week before she turned into a chrysilles. This one is going to be with us for several weeks. I'll keep you posted. This past Tuesday was my twelfth birthday and there was some pretty nasty weather going on that day. I had my severe weather log in my hand during everything that passed through. My Severe Weather Log holds notes I make about thunderstorms, how much lightning there was, If there was any hail how big that was and how much rain there was. Also, if there was a lot of wind, I put that in too. I also use that log for winter weather. How much snow there was, How cold was it, what was the wind-chill, and how much wind and snow there was. The caterpillar I'm estimating is about 1/8 of an in.
