The Spiky Things and the Big Bumps Inside Carlsbad Caverns

I know that people are probably wondering what type of formations are in Carlsbad caverns so here is a close-up of the types of formations inside the caverns. The first thing you are probably wondering about are the things on the ground and ceiling. Those are called stalagmites and stalactites. They are made up of water and other matter. Please visit Carlsbad Caverns, thanks!

The Carlsbad Bat Flight Rules

If you want to see Mexican free-tailed bats fly out of the caves of Carlsbad caverns, then all you need to do is follow ALL of these simple rules of the bat flight program. All you’ve got to do while you’re waiting for the bats to come out is whisper and be as quiet as a mouse, or as possible as can be. You don’t want the bats to go in the wrong direction, do you? If you don’t you can’t take any photographs or any videos especialy if they have a flash with them. The last, but not least rule is that you have to be very quiet while the bats are flying out of the caves or it will lead them in the wrong direction. These rules apply for everybody that visits, especialy the Edgemere fourth graders! Please go! 

My First Double Digit Birthday

I woke up in the morning and I already felt older, do you know why?  Because it was my tenth birthday!  That day we decided that we were going to have my birthday at my house at seven o’ clock in the evening.  Later that day after school I got home and my grandma was making enchiladas for my birthday dinner.  My parents surprised me with one of my favorite gifts ever, a Playstation 3!  At 6:30 pm my aunt Annette arrived to our house along with my cousin Austin.  Half an hour later my uncle Peter showed up with my aunt Amber and my three cousins.  My grandma and my grandpa showed up shortly after.  I had a great time with all of my family there.  I was even surprised when my uncles Ricky and Cristian showed up.  Everybody gave me such nice gifts.  The gift that really stood out was the one that my uncle Peter gave me.  He gave me the real dolphin pin that they gave to him when he was in the U.S. Navy on submarines.  That was one of the best birthdays in my whole life!
