I Feel The Earth Move Under My Feet

I had a hard time waking up this morning. I didn't want Mom to get me out of bed. When she did, I got dressed and had breakfast. I watched Little Einsteins with Grandmom before we left. I helped them find the real violin.


I spent the day at Mrs. Leigh Ann's. While I was there, we had something called an "earthquake"!!! What?!?


The ground was shaking and it was weird. Apparently, the Earth is covered in cracks called "faults". Sometimes, pressure builds up on both sides of the fault and it causes the earth to move. The movement releases energy in "waves" that cause the ground to shake. That happened today in the state called Virginia. We felt the shaking all the way here in South Carolina!! Amazing!

After that excitement, Grandmom picked me up and took me to her house. I played there for a long time. Tuesday is still Mom's long day at big work, so it took her a long time to get home! When she finally came, we had dinner and then we came home!


Now that I've had my bath, I think I'll go to bed. I hope the Earth is still tomorrow!!
