Fishing, Shooting, and Playing on the Farm

Sunday was a great day to play with my family. My grandpa told us that the ditch at the farm was full of fish. So we decided to head over and try our luck. There sure were a lot of fish, unfortunately they didn't want to bite.
It was still fun though. It just felt good to be outside. My dad let me shoot his gun and I am an awesome shot. I hit my target more than once!
I also got to ride around on the four wheeler with my grandpa. We looked at all the new baby calves. They sure were cute! I feel lucky to have such an adventurous place to explore!! What do you like to do on sunny Sunday afternoons?





A visit to Utah's Natural History Museum

We are on a little vacation in Park City. Today we drove down to Salt Lake and toured the Natural History Museum. It is highly recommend. It was our first visit and we had a ton of fun. My favorite things include the Native American art and baskets, the awesome dinosaur exhibits, and the wild life. I defiantly want to go back again someday soon !!!









I Love Art

I recently entered an art contest at my school. The topic was "Trees Are Terrific". I was not only excited to participate in the art contest. I was also excited about the topic. Nature is something I talk about all the time. I love it and love being outside. The hard part was narrowing down all my ideas to one. Luckily I have an artistic and creative dad that helped me in this process. I decided to draw a tree full of animals that use or live in trees. I had an owl, bees, a raven, a squirrel , some doves, a racoon and a deer. It took me several hours but it looked great in the end. I took second place in my grade and it got sent to the state contest. I am so excited!!! What do you like to draw?
