Spring Break Adventures

Spring break this year was amazing. One of the days I met my cousins Will and Wren at the Planetarium. It was really fun. We walked on Mars and the Moon. On another day I went riding horses with my family. I rode my horse,Princess. We went out to the sand dunes on my grandpa's farm. We always look for pieces of Indian pottery. We found some pretty good ones and even an arrow head. This was a pretty fun spring break! 

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?

Swimming All The Time

My very favorite part of this vacation is the pool. We wake up and swim and end our day with a swim. I am actually the only one that CAN swim. My brothers have to stay where they can touch. But I am free to go to the deep end, do flips and tricks. My dad got in yesterday and we did cheer leading tricks. I would stand on his hands above his head and flip out into the water. What is your favorite part of a vacation?

100 Days of School

Yes, that's right! I have been in school 100 days this year. I have a super fun teacher, Mrs. Webster. She told us we could dress up as if we were 100 years old! We are also going to have 100 item trail mix. I'm bringing chocolate chips to add. It is going to be a great day! What made your day special today??

Coconut Fun

So I was very excited to see that we had a coconut in our produce basket last week. I had to wait several days before my dad was ready to get out the drill and let me try real coconut milk! I liked it but it was not what I expected. I thought it would taste like coconut but it tasted like leaves. My brother, Ladd, didn't like it at all! After we drank some we poured the rest out and it looked like water! It was not even white. I wonder why they call it milk? My dad let Ladd and I try hitting it with a hammer to crack it open. That was awesome! We hit it and hit it. Finally it broke. Then we got to eat the coconut. It was better than the milk. It was so fresh and yummy. I highly recommend trying fresh coconut.
