More Gingerbread Kids Return to Pleasant Hill



Brinleigh's gingerbread girl traveled to Colorado to visit Roxann. Ginger learned all about the many places to visit in the state of Colorado. Brinleigh actually went there with her gingerbread girl for a visit and Brinleigh went snow skiing! Thanks, Roxann and Brinleigh, for sharing your cool book of adventures!



Kelsi's gingerbread girl traveled to Oregon where it rains a lot. She visited Wayne and Jinalyn. We learned that there are many huge trees in Oregon and logging is a big industry. Gingerbread girl went into the mountains and saw an elk and a "Yarder", an antique piece of logging equipment used to pull logs up the mountain.

Ethan's gingerbread boy traveled to Washington, D.C. with his great Uncle Mike. He saw the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.



 Braylee's gingerbread girl traveled to San Antonio, Texas. She visited the Alamo, Ripley's Believe It or Not and Wax Museum, and the famous river walk. 



Wolfgang's gingerbread boy traveled to Fresno, California where it does not snow in the winter. While visiting he went to the pool, road bikes around the city, and started to miss Wolfgang.


Cooper's gingerbread boy traveled to Greensboro, North Carolina. He visited a Wendy's fifth grade classroom to see how the kids learn in NC. The kids were learning about fractions, Colonial America, and they worked hard on reading and writing. The Wright brothers flew their first airplane in North Carolina at Kitty Hawk. In Asheville there is the biggest home in America, called The Biltmore Estate. While in NC you can travel from the mountains to the beach in just a few hours. Gingerbread Boy had a good time as he flew home over the tallest mountain on the east coast, Mt. Mitchell.
