Fiddle Heads.Alex and Anni participated in collecting water samples for Sound Citizen, a research project at UW. They collected samples at Juanita Beach and Denny Creek, analyzed pH, alkalinity, chlorine, hardness, nitrate, and ammonia levels. Then they had to use Google Earth to look up the exact GPS coordinates for each site. Finally, they packaged the samples to return to the lab. They had fun participating in this eco-activity.
And just for fun we used Google earth to look at our home, nana and Sharon's home in Victorville, Grandma's house in Hesperia, Auntie's home in Wivenhoe. (What's that big set of buildings behind your home Auntie?) We also looked up the University of Essex by following the road past the pub. By the way did I tell you (Uncle Mel) that Seattle now has a Division 1 Soccer/football team, and they're good! They're entire season is sold out!
