My Last Stop

Dear Friends,
Here I am in Washington State! I have traveled a long way through many states to get here. Look at the map and count how many states I crossed. I am on the west coast of America, and I can see the ocean! Washington grows the most apples in the country! I am planting red delicious apples. They are the most popular and they can grow all year round! I have enjoyed writing to you and reading your letters to me. I hope you have enjoyed learning about apples. Please keep eating apples to stay healthy and plant trees to keep our earth healthy too. For more apple fun and games click here.

Your Friend,
Johnny



These red delicious apples were worth the trip!

Away I go!

Dear Friends,
I have gone into Michigan now. The weather is much cooler here, and I am getting closer to the western part of the country. Look at the
map
to see how far I have gone! I am planting Gala apples here. They are very sweet and crunchy! Did you know they have an apple festival here? That sounds like my kind of event! Do you want to make a face on an apple right on the computer? Click here! I can't wait to hear from you! I have a long trip to Washington state ahead.

Your Friend,

I have gone on to Ohio. Click the map to see where I have been. I planted some Golden Delicious apples here, and the people seem to like them. They are very sweet and juicy. Thank-you for your letter! Here is a fun website with some apple games to play before you write your next letter. I can't wait to hear from you again!

Westward Ho!

Dear Friends,
I am on my way west. I am in Pennsylvania right now, and I think that is very close to Maryland where you are! If you would like to see how close just click on the map. I am planting some Cortland apples. They are tart like the McIntosh, but they are great in pies! Thank you so much for your letter! If you want to find hidden pictures in a picture of me click here. Have fun and keep those letters coming!

Your Friend,
Johnny



Yummy! Cortland apples ready to be washed and eaten!
