Hey there! I have some big news to share. I’m moving to a new place because I got a job in Madison, Wisconsin. It’s where I grew up, and I’m excited to go back. But it’s far away, so I won’t be able to visit the Fort as much. I’ll pack all my stuff, put it on a big truck, and drive to my new house. Even though I’ll miss everyone, we can still video chat, and there are exciting things about living in a new place!
Wisconsin is perfect for someone like me who loves the outdoors. There are lots of opportunities for sailing, swimming, and fishing. Although it’s not near the ocean, Wisconsin is close to some of the biggest and most beautiful lakes. A lake is a body of water separate from the ocean, and it can be fresh or salty. The biggest lake in the world is the Caspian Sea, but the second biggest, Lake Superior, is near Wisconsin. It’s one of the Great Lakes, a group of five huge lakes that are really special.
About 100,000 years ago, big sheets of ice covered parts of North America, including Wisconsin. These ice sheets were heavy and slowly scraped the land, creating big holes. When the ice melted, the water filled these holes, forming the Great Lakes. Wisconsin also has many smaller lakes formed by glaciers, like the four lakes around Madison. In fact, there are more than 15,000 lakes in Wisconsin!
Moving can be hard, but it also means new friends and new foods to try. Wisconsin is famous for cheese, and I’m excited to explore all the delicious food there. I even got some cheese as a going-away present! Plus, there’s bratwurst, which is another tasty treat from Wisconsin.
Change can be sad and scary, but it can also lead to exciting new things. If glaciers hadn’t changed the landscape in Wisconsin, we wouldn’t have all those amazing lakes. So, even though I’m moving, I’m looking forward to all the new adventures and learning opportunities ahead.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Keep exploring and learning about our amazing world, and remember to share kindness and knowledge with everyone you meet. If you want to keep having fun and learning with us, be sure to subscribe. See you next time at the Fort!
