Hanging Rock

One morning my family got up really early and got in the car and drove to Hanging Rock.  The first thing we did when we got there was we went down to a lake.  It was more like a tremendous swimming pool.  The water was perfectly clear and there was a diving board, a deep end, and a shallow end.  It also had a huge dock with a lifeguard stand.  It was so cool, but sadly we didn’t bring our bathing suits.  

After that we went to a ranger center we looked at some cool badges and got enough for 4 people.  

Then we went across the road and on a trail.  The trail was long and tiring but 

when we got to the top it was scary and breathtaking!  After that we took a 

picture of me and my sister Caroline.  Then one of all 4 of us, and then a 

picture of our feet in front of the beautiful mountains.

On our way we saw a black snake! We followed it a little ways into the woods but then we let it go away.  After that we hiked the rest of the way back and we were happy because we didn’t have to hike uphill a second time! 

I'm coming back

The Smurfs

The Smurf Movie was really fun.  We went on a rainy night on our summer vacation.  I liked it because the girl Smurf had a cool dress.  The Smurfs were really cool because they cleaned up the peoples house in the movie.

Daddy said it was well done (that's code for, "they did it right but he didn't like it.")  Mommy said it was good too.  Over all I give it two thumbs up.  There was some fighting, but overall it was OK for five year olds.  My sister (3yrs old) went too.

Douglas stayed home.

That's all for now

Me and The Monkey

Kindergarten

Kindergarten is German and literally means Children's Garden.  My first day was this week.  I went to open house and found out one of my best friends was in my class.  I went and played at her house today.  We had fun.  I also met some new friends.  One with glasses just like me.  I won't put their names or pictures on here until I find out if it's OK with their parents.  My teachers are very nice.

Check out the cool hat we made on the first day

 This is a picture of Ani and I on our first day.

 We also visited Ms. R.  (One of Mom's best friends)She got a new puppy and we got to meet her.  She is sooo cute.

Having a broken arm has not been so hard so far.  It takes a little more time to get dressed and a little more time to eat.  Today we had a cowboy sandwich for breakfast.  In my next post, I'll give you the secret recipe.  My Dad says that Granny (my great grandmother) made the best cowboy sandwiches ever!!!!
