Do you know who Johnny Appleseed was? Did you know he was a real person? He was!!
Yessiree! Johnny Appleseed, whose real name was John Chapman, was a nurseryman (that means he owned nurseries, where plants are grown) who lived in the midwest in the 1800's (that's over 200 years ago!). He travelled around planting apple trees all over the United States. He was also very religious, the way he dressed was very simple- shirt and pants, no fancy clothes for him! Some people say he took his cooking pot along with him on his travels and wore it on his head! Is that a crazy picture?
Here are some fun things for you to do:

Ok, that's it for fun stuff this time. I'm going to post a Thanksgiving activity soon, though!
Love you all,
