Mom, mom, mom, is it today?</i><br />
Yes.<br />
<i>Really?</i><br />
Yes<br />
Evie, mom said yes. sheesh<br />
And Julie is coming too?<br />
Yep.<br />
Sweeeeeet!<br />
<br />
That's right, the kids wanted to go birding. After all, if watching birdies in your backyard is fun, it must be better to see some in other places too!<br />
And there was Franklin Nature center nearby that we hadn't been to, so we invited a friend and headed off to find some birds.<br />

Not only did we see lots of cool animals but it was lovely and warm and there were cookies (cause Sloan had some packed in his medical kit). <br />
<br />
<i>Sloan definately saw the most creatures (Julie and me were having fun racing around and being butterflies). And Julie had the coolist glittery binoculars tat she made herself.</i><br />
<i>But we saw some birds... and a deer (oooh) and another bird.. and a frog. Wow, it was so fun.</i><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
So we did a couple of court cases - Evie and I watched some videos about courts and read a book and we made note cards for each position in the court and what they do so that people could decide who they wanted to be! It was pretty cool.</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
The Case of the Stolen Cookies</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
The Case of the Turned off Movie</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
and a third one I can't remember. But I DO know we had a lot of fun and their were JUSTICE CUPCAKES for afterwards.. so that was really good.</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I also see that mom still can't get the hang of laying one of these posts out and having photos in it. </div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Okay gotta go. </div>
<br />
Wow it has definatly been a long time since we've updated this blog.<br />
Really sorry about that.<br />
Well, its time to restart things!<br />
What better way than with a day in court<br />
No, no don't worry, this was a FUN court. And it was in our house... with our friends and puppets... so it was okay... <i>trust me</i>.<br />
<br />
Here, maybe its better if I start with HOW this came about...<br />
It
started when me (Sloan) learned about those 3 branches of government.
Legis-latured? something like that... and the executive (you know
thePresident?) and the judges. Well we didn't learn much about the
judges, just the other two right, and I wanted to know what the judges
one did... so mom asked if I wanted to do a court day.<br />
Of course I said YEA! Cause court party!<br />
<br />

Ms. Sandy was able to eat before Spiny found her wings.<br />

(Mom note: Now that the millage has gone through for the Arts Association the counties who voted yes get free admission to the DIA. So if you are in one of those counties and haven't gone, take an hour or two and head down to check it out)</div>

Well Mommy just pointed out that Evie and me need to do more visiting around here and that we didn't post anything for a Really REALLY long time.<br />
<br />
And I thought AIRPLANES!<br />
<br />
Mommy got the information for this show which is REALLY close so we are going to go (yes!) and think you should too. Unless airplanes make you sick. Then you shouldn't.<br />
But maybe you should try cause you can go for a ride in a REAL old plane and if you go to the site it counts down to the day... very cool.<br />
That's all<br />

I remembered when he yelled at us to get off the rocks. If you haven't been there before, there are lots of rock walls to climb - the cool part... they are actual rocks. Sometimes this seems to confuse parents (like daddy thinking we needed to stay off them). But I explained that here we could climb everything... once he understood... daddy had fun climbing the rocks up and down too. I think Eve sums it up best...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Daddy=Mountain Goat</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>Now go climb some rocks!</div>T.S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13969029924306547103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832925327998797275.post-61506367723690412462010-09-26T08:27:00.000-07:002010-09-26T08:35:11.871-07:00The Art of Geocaching!<div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">I wanted to go geocaching since we went camping. Now my mom found this thing where the Detroit Institute of Arts has this geocache where you can find big art pieces all around town and different counties. This one below is in my town just near the library. And evie and I got to go hunt it dow. Now everytime we go to the library we go check on it to make sure its still there.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><img src="webkit-fake-url://5072AB6F-D55B-468A-9811-2D18BB84DA97/Calendar-101_1865_zingermans.jpg" alt="Calendar-101_1865_zingermans.jpg" /></p></div><div>If you want lots of cool art and lots of geocaching fun check out this link.

But we got invited to a really cool party for the Oakland County Volunteers yesterday at Independence Oaks.<div><br /></div><div>I always like the nature center (Wint). </div><div>I liked the puppets (they have all these animal puppets to play with and I decided that the spider had a birthday and all the animals were there for the party. But then I decided that all the baby animals were having their autumn birthday (cause they have one each season) and it was a big party and mommy possum took the other animals for a ride on her back and yeah.</div><div><br /></div><div>But then we went to this star lab and I liked the stars really lots. I didn't like the dark, when it got really dark I couldn't see - but then the stars came on and it was way cool. I liked it when he put on the cylinder that showed the greek star groups. (My favorite was the eagle).</div><div><br /></div><div><i>The puppets were okay and the starlab thingy was neat (but I made daddy leave cause I couldn't just run from one side to the other and back.) I liked the s'more making and kayaking. I made mommy take me out on one of the kayaks. I liked it lots (even got to use the paddle) when mommy went where I wanted her too it was good. Sometimes I had to correct her steering though.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>Oh and there was lots of games and geocaching. I like geocaching we got to go around the park. But then I made mommy and daddy take us back to the nature center - those puppets needed to finish their birthday party.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>A long and exciting day...

Tents! Running around hee hee!</i><div><i><br /></i></div><div>Sorry, Evie still doesn't have many words but she was really excited when I told her we were going camping this weekend. We practiced putting up the tents last week (we wanted to practice sleeping outdoors). </div><div><br /></div><div>It was exciting getting the car packed up, then heading out to the Addison Oaks. We got there just before sunset and got to watch the evening darken as we ran around exploring the campsite. Our friends joined us and then it was all games of tag and lots of fun running around and letting the parents do all the hard work. We even had a tent just for playing (you know in case it rained or Evie and her friend E needed to be contained). </div><div>It was cool, there was an open area to run around and play tag, there was bike riding around the driving circle. </div><div><br /></div><div>Saturday started off with rain, rain and more rain... Its okay though, we were prepared. One of the families had a pop-up camper and we made up stories with the stuffed animals. Did you know that elephants like to share pizza with pink bunnies and Spottie the dog?</div><div><br /></div><div>Once the rains stopped we were off to hunt treasures! (Find some geocaches) Oh and treasure in German is Schatz. We decided we were the Schatz Hunters! Off we went tracking here and there. Taking turns with one of the GPS thingies. It was cool to see how it changed the direction when I turned. Or how it would count down where we were. </div><div> It was crazy, you know at first it was cool, walking through this cool forest then we found an apple tree surrounded by oak and maple trees, a fat brown catapillar (he looked like he had a little face), then we found acorns, more oak leaves, and the direction North.</div><div> Then I it did get a bit boring, I mean everything started to look alike and then... we suddenly were at the location and hunting to find our treasure (mom spotted it first and then how cool! We found our first schatz!) After that we loved it. In fact we even found a treasure that wasn't on our list. Yeah, we are that good!</div><div><br /></div><div>Then even better... we hid our own schatz. I can't wait till someone finds it.</div><div>Though less fun was the way back (well we did hike for about 3 hours).

(Though that's pretty easy for Evie-she hasn't been to that many yet). But we decided to go to Erwin Orchard down in South Lyon, MI.</div><div>So we called up a bunch of friends and headed down to check it out.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>This is Evie</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7xqrcG7hy4J0TIiyvac-7nmFOnWpl47pl9-pXBOFchuNSZTPL6J5g5cWYnIMJqttYJiKHMcr_tu5LVAQPzaNQ1WSDSsA9RBDK7qqme_daEpSGhJJP8qVCbFJlP6zziO2yX37iMOI8ssk/s200/0912101225-00.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518717505126768482" /></i></div><div><i>Apples</i></div><div><i>and tractors</i></div><div><i>honey</i></div><div><i>Donuts and cider, honey, apples and good friends and we even met this really cute puppy and more donuts.

We took this wagon trailer thing and it dropped us off at the beginning of the orchards. Then it was a hunt for the tastiest, best apples to put in our bags! There were Macintosh here and the next row, Cortland, then down a few more rows for these beautiful yellow ones... We had so much fun.<img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNV-CHAt8Abj_06EuHiSLFwfdJzsxOQMPm5Qq9PIpZAYoZQ514jqK2s56xnZq3h6vF5kG54Tb804VWGLvDs7Xu4rYUtw4ARCZR9Eps8x9o0ElwyP3eN6umT2k_Ix7hRB_dcrVRzhDgv4w/s200/0912101200-02.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518717506129246530" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Hint: for those going the first time - if there is no line for donuts and cider buy those first then go do the apple picking. We found that after the picking the apples the line for cider and donuts was HUGE! But the line for fresh honey and honey combs was short and wonderful.</div>T.S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13969029924306547103noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832925327998797275.post-68090545179941891432010-09-19T11:56:00.000-07:002010-09-19T12:13:40.556-07:00Howdy!Hi there, welcome to our blog.
