Blog Keeper Meme 4/23/08 - Going on a trip

The phone rings and you are informed that you have won an all expense paid trip for one week. Where are you going? What will you do there? Who, if anyone, are you taking with you? Is there anything special you are bringing? Feel free to write anything else relating to this trip or you could even write it from a character's perspective. Let the imagination flow!


I would take the whole family (grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc) to Disney World/Sea World. I think it would be fun to go as a big group and since it's free I might as well take everyone. I think going to Disney is pretty self explanatory. We would stay at the nicest hotel at Disney (my family would be in the nicest room they have ;) ). I would get those pass things that get you to the front of the line. Eat all of our meals with different characters. We would spend a day at Sea World because I so enjoyed that as a child. A nice little private island for Kent and I would be nice too but I'm much more likely to be able to afford a vacation for 2 than for 17+.

Baby Chickens 4/22

The baby chickens arrived today.

Another girl in the county is also doing a chicken project.

Madisyn spent the night with Nana and Papaw for her "birthday shopping trip" so Ty and Griffin loaded the babies in their cage.

Ben's First Haircut 4/22

Today we took Ben to get his first haircut.

Last before picture.

He did extremely well. Madisyn called the only noise he made "mumbling". His lip stuck out and looked like he might cry. I'm not sure how many different sets of clippers Mr. Ervin used, I think the noise bothered Ben.

I managed to make it without crying. I was very surprised at how white his hair looks now. I think the darker hair was all cut off. He looks different, less baby and more little boy. waaaaaaaa

This is the best "after" picture I could get. He kept moving. :)

Earth Day 4/22

Every year on Earth Day, the local conservation office puts on a special program for our 4-H group. This year they discussed the ways the soil absorbs water, how grade affects absorption, and how vegetation plays in to the process.

They started the program with snacks. When telling Daddy about the day over supper, the first thing Ty remembered was the Kool-Aid, brownies, cookies and cupcakes (yes he ate all of that but it wasn't large amounts just 1/2 brownie, 1/2 cake thing - both Little Debbie snacks).

The man doing the presentation had several visuals to demonstrate.

Just because . . .4/22

it's pretty.
