Turkey Run

On Friday morning we left for Turkey Run and got there around 11:30. The Cowden's and Noonan's were there already and the Hageman's, Bennett's and Baloses came later that day. Actually to be honest we did not go camping in a tent (or pop-up or anything). We stayed in one of the cabins beside the Inn. Though it would have been more fun if we could have slept in a tent, I still enjoyed our time there very much! Turkey Run is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been (I think). It's amazing! The trails are beautiful. Here's a fraction of the pictures that Mom took.

While I was walking I was watching the ground and saw this millipede. Kenny carried it around on the trail for a while until it fell in the rocks while he took the next picture.

Some of the many many stairs that we had to descend or climb.

I Just Bought This CD...

...and I love it!!! I sent the order out on Saturday and got it back the next Saturday. I was so surprised/happy and very impressed at how quick they were (I know they are busy...). Well to be honest I do not personally know the Wissmann family, but I have been visiting their blog for at least a year or two now and I thought it was time to buy one of their Cd's. As I said, I love it! Well, just thought I'd say that. Co-op has been keeping me VERY busy! Now a days I have not even time to do my other school (math, english, literature, geography). Latin is what's really keeping my busy. Biology isn't too bad and Spanish is easy. :) I really like my Spanish teachers. :) The helper is very fluent in Spanish and I think will be a big help to me personally.

Babies!!!

Molly had three kittens on Saturday/Sunday. And Mom ordered 25 baby chicks (Banties of all kinds). Actually though, we only have 22 (one died on the way over) for some reason. But that's okay because 25 was a lot of chickens anyway (no matter how small they are). I am not sure how we are gonna fit all of them in our chicken coop.
Though the kittens don't smell as bad, and don't make nearly as much noise, the chicks are more playful and fun to watch. : )

I Thought I Needed To Post Something So...

...here's a couple pictures. Mom took these two during one of the many times we went to Fernwood this spring/summer. I think this one is really cool (the creamy and kinda dreamy effect). Mom is not sure why it is this color. But I like it.:)This one is kinda cool too cause of the blue in the back (actually the blue is my sweater).

Well that's all for now. Hopefully I'll have something to post soon! :)

Babysitting At Life Action

Last night Heather and I babysat at Life Action. The first week of August we babysat all week for Revival Week (every morning from 8:30 to 12:30). I helped in Sunshine (ages 2-3) and Heather helped in the nursery, Sunshine and Base Camp (ages 7-12). Last night Heather got to experience being the teacher of Happy Heart City (ages 4-6) and I helped. It was actually
lots of fun, and the kids were so cute.This one actually should be at the end but I accidentally deleted it. I took
this while the kids were playing Doggy Doggy Where's Your Bone. Coloring a picture of a little duckling after the story

We had whales for snacks. This boy would throw the whale into the air
(way behind him) trying to catch it in his mouth. :)

No they aren't brother and sister. I think they said they were neighbors.

Pulling up his pants.:)

Working on puzzles.

A Visit With Some Friends

Monday afternoon we headed down to visit the Bennett's for a few days! It was so good to be able to be with them more then a few hours. Actually we were there from Monday evening to Thursday evening:)! Anyway here's some of the pictures.

Tuesday we spent the day at the Creation Museum. What and awesome place. The gardens were beautiful. Here's a picture of one of the flowers. Heather took this one.

One of the water falls. They had many of these too.

Adam, Cain and Able. I had a picture of Adam in the Garden of Eden but I must have missed it and I am not going to try and upload it.

Cain and Able

Noah's Ark and my dad and Mr. Bennett

The clouds/sun were really pretty on the way home (well to the Bennett's anyway)

We brought a half a bushel of peaches with us to share with the Bennett's. Wednesday morning we pealed and sliced most of them and froze them.

When we were finished with the peaches Heather and Sarah played duets on the piano (while I counted out loud for them).

"Sorry" is a game we have played for a very long time with the Bennett's. We play it all the time together. This time we played I think around 8 games while we were there.

Indiana State Fair

I took this of Heather while we were still in the parking lot trying to figure out where to start.

The swine building. Isn't it pretty!?

Read the sign and look at the next picture. (the picture doesn't show how big the thing really is!) Notice the weight it 1,175 pounds

Aaron, Mrs. Bennett, me and Heather

We watched a pig race. it was very interesting. To get the pigs to run they put an oreo cookie at the end.

The Bennett family. Thanks for letting us stay at your home! We had an awesome time!
