Hi everyone,

I hope you all can help me with a fun little summer homeschool project for my four daughters. Click on the following link to help us pass the potato to all fifty states:

When you click and add your zip code, we can chart his travels and learn a little US Geography at the same time!

Thanks for your help and for providing a little summer fun for my girls.

OUch!! the potato burned me! I passed it into sunny california! enjoy!

Whew! She's in Oak Harbor, WA....That's where my house is. I wish it was that easy for me to get there...

Wow,

Thanks for the fast responses! Our little sweet potato is quite the globe trotter. I can't wait until Wannabecurly takes her to Hawaii. I know you're out there, Nikki!

Can someone out there take our little sweet potato all the way to Alaska?

Wow! Someone just threw her wide, and she landed here in Ohio! :tongue:

Here's some stats on the little globe trotter...(as of 7:30am EST)

Travel Days 0.1
Times Passed 5
Miles Traveled 35,060
Average Speed (mph) 9,784.0
States Visited 6

Wow! Check out her milage! :blueeek: She really gets around. :lol:

ETA:I just noticed the name of the potato is "Sweet Potato". Uh, guess that makes her a girl. :blushing:

That's really neat! Hope she had fun here in sunny SC ;)

Your little Sweet Potato just got picked up by a tornado here in Kansas! Oh, my!

Someone save her!!! (Auntie Em, Auntie Em?) :lol:

Sweet potato landed in FL for the second time! :lol:

Boy, can she ever fly! She was travelling at over 10,000 mph when I checked on her this morning.

Keep bouncing her back and forth, even if she has already visited your state. We are mapping out the cities as well as the states, so the more visits the merrier.

It will also be interesting to see which state she visits the most.

Thanks ladies, keep her moving!

Wheeee!!! Whew - that was close. Lil' Miss Sweet Potato was almost Miss Mashed Potato!

That is so neat... Anything to help out a kid...


bump

How neat, I placed her into Colorado :lol:

Too bad it can't be passed to Canada. Oh well. It's a cool idea!

Sweet Potato stopped in for a visit in MS.

cheryl

We got him in TN! I think dancingbarefoot is in Alaska, FYI.

Sweet Patater is in Salt Lake City, Utah right now!! :waving:

SP is here in Rochester, but she was in Webster already, so I guess she's getting familiar with the area now.

MD has now been visited.

Sweet Potato just visited me here in Waco, TX!

wonder where she'll go next! (really cool project BTW)!

And now she's been to Hawaii! What a cute project.

Its a good thing you got her Wannabe, I dont think she was liking the weather here in Ky too much. :lol:

I'm afraid she's going to burn being here. It was 93 degrees out here today. Someone that's having some good spring weather better take her before she turns into potato chips here. :lol:

Hope your potato enjoys new england; it's up here in Beverly MA (north of Boston).

Wowee!

You gals are great! What a exciting trip Sweet Potato is having. She has been to 25 states in one day and has been passed 43 times. My daughters are thrilled with her astounding globe-trotting abilities and gleefully chart each and every pass she makes. This whole project is turning out better than I could have imagined!

Anyone able to pass her to Alaska? I know Dancing Barefoot used to live there, and I think Stephanie currently lives there. Maybe I need to PM them........

I brought her back to Rochester Hills, MI. Supposed to be in the 80's today, but at least she missed the wind storms last night!

Since potato has already been to Colorado, I threw her across country to my Grandma in Wisconsin! You'll be happy there with all that cheese!

Shoot, the weather is actually lovely here in Scotland for once and I can't bring the lil potato across the pond. Oh well I shall go and take another potato for a road trip round the UK instead!

I just brought the potato back to Illinois for a second time! What a neat game!

Aww, I wanna play!!
you can't even look at the potato, over here in the UK!!

I took it to Mabelvale :rockerdud
It's travelling 7,141.0 mph and it's visited 30 states already!

Sucha cutie!
Now she's in Indiana to make friends with the corn lol!

Sweet Potato came to Northern Kentucky for a little while today. It was to hot for her!!!!!!

I brought her back to Sunny California 8)

Well, it looks as if California is one of her favorite destinations. She has been passed nine times to the Golden State! I only wish she could international. How exciting it would be to chart her journies to other countries!

Current update on Sweet Potato: She is having a ball in South Dakota, enjoying the balmy 69 degree/ partly cloudy weather.
She has been to 34 states in all and has travelled over 311,000 miles in less than 3 days.

We have only 16 more states to go, so keep passing her along if you haven't already!

I punted her over to my parents in West-by-God Virginia--it's cooler up in the mountains. :)
