The sugar maple is not only loved for its sap, which is used to make maple syrup, but for its leaves that turn bright red, orange, and yellow during fall, and that it's the state tree. Red cedar, hemlock, ash, and black oak are other common native trees. Wisconsin is famous for its cheese. In fact... it so famous that it has a cheese museum! On the second Saturday in June which is June 12, the National Historic Cheesemaking Center creates a 90-pound wheel of Swiss. Even though badgers live throughout Wisconsin, the animal isn’t the reason for the nickname the Badger State. “Badger” was the nickname for the big pack or group of miners who dug into Wisconsin’s hills to find lead then slept in their caves—just the way badgers burrow to create dens.

Ashleigh One day, two twins named Mary-Kate & Ashley were with their friends ( Zack, Patty, Tim, Jeremy, and Samantha). It was almost Halloween and they were making models out of Popsicle sticks for a contest.
A little boy named Russell said that his Popsicle disappeared. The twins said to come back if it happened again. Then they got a dare from Patty to go into a scary house nearby. Ashley accepted, but Mary-Kate was scared. As they entered the house they found green goo on the stairs. Then, a green body appeared at the top of the of the stairs and they ran out of the house and lost the dare. They soon went back into the house and found out that the green goo was a melted Popsicle!

Ashleigh More chili peppers are harvested in New Mexico than all other states combined. Around 75% of the roads in New Mexico aren’t paved. It’s not necessary, because the roads aren’t traveled very often. A third of New Mexicans speak Spanish while at home. New Mexico is part of the Wild West if you were wondering.
New Mexico is a geologist's paradise! There are many extinct volcanoes located throughout the state. The highest point in New Mexico is Wheeler Peak with a 13,000 foot drop to sea level. At over 8,000 feet, one of the Volcanoes is so tall that five states can be seen from the top: New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. There are no active volcanoes within the state at present. Around 1,000 reports of UFOs are made each year in New Mexico. New Mexico's state animal is a black bear. The state flower is a yucca, and the state bird is a roadrunner. Ashleigh Fact 1: Jupiter has lived with us for about a month now, and every time Daddy is not around and I let him out to go to the bathroom and try to get him in, he runs away from me. Today, I let him out, while Daddy stepped out to see about getting a paint job for his red Convertible. Jupiter went pee, and then as soon as I came close to him...he ran away to near our rock wall. He climbed over it to the other side. Now, he has done this before, but It took me about a half an hour to get him back in the house this time! I had to lead him in with treats because that always works with him.
Fact 2: Dogs do weird things, but have you ever had a dog, that jumps up to lick your face when you get your face to close to his or hers? Jupiter does. One time, I was playing with him, and I got my face too close and he tried to lick i. I jumped back and slammed my head right into the back of the desk! Fact 3: The thing I like about Jupiter is that when he gets excited...he does puppy run. He is fast, At one point, he charged right past me! The flash... IS BACK!
