Mom and I did not sleep well the night before in the cabin at the Sleeping Lady Fine Arts Center. So we booked a room for tonight at the Leavenworth Howard Johnson's. But first we woke up and went to Applets & Cotlets / Liberty Orchards in Cashmere. Our class ate some of these candies at Teacher Andrea's "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" Party in December. Applets & Cotlets are Turkish Delight, just different flavors than rose.
Another hairnet! Yes those are bags under my eyes....
Like Theo's chocolates in Seattle, we got a tour. It was short and sweet. Unfortunately, I can no longer eat any of these candies since they are dusted with corn starch. My corn allergy is new.....
Next stop, Ancient Lakes trailhead near Quincy, Washington.
Teacher Andrea and Mom.
This hike was in a desert biome. There was a lot of dust, rocks, and sun.
It was a two mile hike to visit four small lakes, and strangely, several waterfalls!
Can you see the waterfall?
Our class made notes about the biome. What we saw, smelled, touched. There were NO rattlesnakes, although several boys in our group really wanted to find one.

We were all really tired walking back, but I did a good job and did not complain.
After this, we drove back to Leavenworth for dinner. I was excited to stay at the motel instead of the cabin. Mom and I each had to take a shower to wash all of the day's dust. I also got to watch an hour of the Cartoon Network, before we fell asleep.
