This week we went on a tour of one of Puerto Rico’s bioluminescent bays, La Parguera. A bio bay is a ecosystem in a sheltered bay that lets thousands of Dinoflagellates thrive.

My favorite animal is the capybara, so I decided to do a report on them. Unfortunately I can’t really remember when I heard of them for the first time, however I can remember the first time I was able to see one in real life. We were camping in our RV, and Cici was staying

We did a bunch of different activities both before and after Christmas and our ski trip, and I’m going to talk about
Last week we went snowboarding and I had a blast!! When we got in from the airport it was so late. I was tired so on the drive home I fell asleep but when I woke up we were at the condo so I opened the car door and walked out. I was amazed there

For one of Jack’s Christmas presents, we went to an escape room. The escape room’s theme was Pirates of Tortuga. We started out in a jail cell with skeletons and 60 minutes to try and escape (there was also a fake parrot who spouted gibberish whenever it could). The key to the cell was in
