Zoo with Daddy

We finally got to go to the zoo with Daddy. It had been a LONG time since he was there with us. We were having a great time…

Then it started to absolutely POUR! We were drenched. We figured what the heck we were all soaked anyway and started to walk towards the Africa area but the passage was flooded. We made a run for cover and waited out the storm in the shelter of the awning outside the bathroom!

We came home and dried off and had a playdoh afternoon.

4H Awards Banquet

This past year I had participated in two 4H clubs, Brooker Creek Explorers and Ochs Garden. I achieved in both clubs and was awarded by 2 year pin and a Clover Award.

I also got to pick a prize from the prize table for my raffle ticket. I was one of the first kids to go up. The table was full of goodies. I looked at the leader, Miss Jean, and said “I can take anything on the table?” She said, “Yes.” I grabbed this huge plant. Everyone in the room nearly fell over laughing, Mommy turned bright red and shrugged her shoulders. What can I say, I love plants! I was so happy with my treasure.

Lego Land

Today we went to Lego Land. While we were waiting for a friend to arrive I was playing in the bushes. I caught a Florida Mantis.

Such a neat looking insect.

There was a field trip group and they saw me with the mantis and I was suddenly more popular than Legos!

I showed it to all the kids and told them all about it and how to safely hold it. I am a bug rockstar!
