Bird’s Christmas Tree

Bird's treeWe were taking a walk while the girls were at their friend’s house. We walked around the big block. When we were on our street, we met the Lehmans. They were holding a huge, big tree!

Mark and I went over to help carry the tree to their front door. Then we helped measure it.  Mr. Lehman and I chopped off the lowest branch.  They said I could take it home.  I went home carrying the tree over my shoulder!

We are going to make a bird Christmas tree because we haven’t done it for awhile. You tie a ribbon all around a big limb. Then you hang it up so the birds have their own Christmas tree. They hide in it when they eat the food we give them.

Once Upon a Dare

Pole SittingMomma dared me to sit on the post at Great Grandma’s house. It was hard to get up and down. I was scared, but it was not as bad as I thought.

I did not stay up very long, because we had other fun things to do!

 

Water Park

WaterbucketAfter the zoo, Momma surprised us by going to the water park!

I sort of knew we were going because Momma told me to pack up my swimsuit and towel, just in case. I asked where we were going and why we needed our swimsuits and towels. And Momma said it was a surprise. It was a good surprise, I hope to go again!Water

The Zoo

WatchingWe went to the zoo for Mommy Camp.  It was fun! We got to do a few things different.  We went with Grandpa and Grandma.

Great Grandma couldn’t come with us, but she wanted to. So she stayed home and gave us some money. We got Megan a little stuffed animal, a little white Tiger, and she named it Snow. I got an orange tiger and I named it Tige.

Then we saw a few things and Grandma and Grandpa treated us to the train. It feels longer when you are on it then when you are watching it go and come back. The conductor said a few things, like “over there is the pond, there are frogs, toads and mallards in the zoo too.  Over there is Mrs. Mallard.” He showed us the animal hospital too.

We looked at some animals and then went for lunch.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma for coming with us!  Thank you Great Grandma for the treats!

Catching Fireflies

Megan firefliesCatchingThey lighten up at night.  They sometimes lighten up in the day. Girls don’t fly. Boys lighten up to catch mates. I think girls do to.  They like to hide in the forest by our house. They can’t hide from me!

Botanical Garden

Cranes We went to the Botanical Gardens. It was fun and we got to do a scavenger hunt. One of them was two storks on a nest. I took pictures of all the animal statues, I think.

My favorite thing was the bald eagle statue and the Japanese Bridge Garden. Under the bridge was a North American otter statue.

I think it would be fun to go back again.
