BEETS!

 Cie-J and Alanna went to the local orchard on Saturday and dug up their own beets.  Alanna was so proud that she found the biggest beet.  I don't think I could have gotten her to try a beet even if I bribed her with money.  But take her and let her do it all herself and she was dying to try it!!

They cut them up and juiced them and she gulped it down and asked for more!

The down side....beets give you insane amounts of energy.  She was bouncing off the walls before bed time!!

The Many Hair Styles of Alanna:

#1 - Straight.  It's only the second time I've straightened it for her, but she LOVES it!!

 (look how long it is!!)

#2 - In a bun.  She loves this because it looks like Cinderella AND it works for karate.

#3 - Double pigtails.

(She was getting her blue stripe on her orange belt!)

#4 - Bed head!  HAHA!

(4th tooth gone!)

Up At The Top:

 Alanna has begged for a year and a half to climb up a mountain.  We finally did it!

 We could see the strip from the top!

 There was a bench that we sat on for probably 20 minutes.  The view was amazing.

Alanna was thrilled and now we can mark it off her bucket list. =)

Home School Update:

We learned all about evaporation in science last week.  We mixed sugar and water and food coloring together and then let it sit on the counter for several days (checking on it each day of course) to see the water evaporate.  We were left with colorful rainbow sugar crystals. =)  Fun and yummy.
