Hi everyone!
Now I am in Washington State on the other side of the country! If you go to the beach here you would even see a different ocean! If you to the beach in South Carolina which ocean do you see?
If you go to the beach in Washington State you would see the Pacific Ocean!
I am going to answer your questions. Someone asked if there are cities there. Yes, there are some big cities and some small cities, but I went to an area where there are just farms and lakes. I even took a picture for you!
Someone also asked if I saw animals. Yes- I saw a bighorn sheep! It is seen in the mountains here and lives in the wild. When we were driving we saw it eating grass by the side of the road. Those horns look dangerous!
Finally, someone asked if I had seen a school. Well, no, I didn't get the chance to go to a regular school this time but I did see a different kind of school- a ski school! Kids here go to regular school during the week but on the weekend for a special treat they might get to go to ski school. They all ski together in a line and try not to fall down. It looks fun!
Do you see the teacher in the red coat? All the kids have to wear blue vests so that she can find everyone in her class! Sometimes they would fall down but the snow was soft so they were okay.
Well, that's it. I guess that I should head back to Rock Hill soon. I can hardly wait for my next adventure!!!

Here I am by the lake! As you can see, it was very cold! There was even part of the lake that was frozen- look!

The males are called rams, the females are called ewes, and the babies are called lambs- just like regular sheep on a farm! These sheep live on their own in the forest, though. When the babies are born they start walking the same day. Do any of you have baby brothers and sisters? I bet it took them a lot longer to start walking!
Someone asked what I am doing. I am helping Dr. Appelgren while she talks to the other doctors about some people who got sick. She is trying to help figure out what made them sick so that we can help to prevent other people from getting sick. I think that we are doing a good job!
When we drive around we see a lot of farms. I know that on Rock Hill farms people grow cotton, corn, and even strawberries. I learned over Thanksgiving that people in Florida grow oranges. Here the weather is different so farms grow different things- like grapes, apples, and cherries. Yum!
I also saw a LOT of snow!!!! I was afraid that I would get buried under the snow like these cars! Brrrrrr.....
