Twin Falls

Today we drove to Twin Falls.



We wanted to see something.



Will thought there were alligators in the fountain and was sad that he couldn't get in the water to prove it. He was also scared to wear the white slippers over his shoes. Why? Not Sure.



It was really pretty and very worth the drive.




The End.

Orlando and Valdosta

If I only had a brain then I would have realized that last week as I packed for Florida I was leaving my camera battery charger at home and taking a camera with an empty battery. But, this is Sarah's Blog. So, I have no pictures of our trip. Which is okay- because the things I wanted to take pictures of were in the Valdosta, Georgia Historical Society Museum where cameras are not allowed. They had hats and bodices from 1880. And, bugles and flags from the Civil War. There were boxes full of things, really old things like pressed flowers and programs from social events held in the 1910's. There were stacks of newspapers sitting around like they had been left there for the last 90 years and nobody ever got to putting them where they go. It was pretty much the coolest place ever. And the man who helped me find info knew exactly who I was looking for when I said the name. I copied pages for three hours and then left so I could join my husband at a dinner party. But, I really, really, really wanted to stay. One day I'll go back and go to Quitman too.

p.s. about Orlando: there are lizards everywhere and it's quite unpleasant to step on a dead one just as you've taken off your heels to walk barefoot across the grass. (It was little and green, and I only touched the tail with my toe but there was still much squealing and squirming).

Dad and Loo-Loo's Party

On Thursday we went to the park/lake for loo-loo's party. It was what she wanted to do. And, I was happy not to go to elsewhere. By the way... who left that naked baby on the blanket? Probably the same mom who left the cake in the sun.





Then on Friday and Saturday we went camping and did what dad wanted to do....





If you tell kids that they might find gold in a river they will be entertained/busy for HOURS. I wasn't fibbing I saw it on the news- I guess more people are starting to pan for a hobby. Besides, I did at least tell them that if they did find any then they would be just crazy lucky.

Wet Willie

After picking a bowl of snow peas from our garden I decided to see what the baby would think of them. I set her on the counter with them and she took one right away.


She put it in her mouth and sucked on it a bit.


Don't worry, Sister was close by.


Oops, I didn't think she could get a bite.

Also, a few days ago I had just come home from being out while dad sat the kids. A few minutes later Will came in the house dripping wet. "What are you doing?" I said to him.... and he said "come on, I show you."
