World Forestry Center Visit


Papa, Joann, Marli, Jaelyn and I spent a few hours in the World Forestry Center Museum on Saturday and had a good time. The girls learned lots about forests, parachuting (Marli got within 27 feet of the target), planting trees, forests of other countries and lots of other things. They got to ride to the top of the canopy with Papa and Joann - Grandma doesn't do heights. Jaelyn discovered that she's a little put off by heights, too. The weather was a mix of clouds and heavy fog but it didn't deter our pioneering spirit so we even went out for pictures by the fountain. A good time was had by all. There were amazing photos, things made of wood and lots of little "movies" to watch to get us all educated about the forests in different parts of the world and the great forests right here in the Northwest. It was worth the price of admission. There was a special display of photos by someone famous of places he's been and the fascinating animals that he's seen - mostly in Africa. It was great to see.

Hey I think I was a little put off by that ride that went to the top. Just watching Jaelyn's face I felt it too. We all had such a wonderful time that day. The sun did come out on your end of town and then it was perfect. Love You! ~Joann
