The Frog Exhibit

We went to the Museum last month and got to see the frog exhibit. There were tons of pictures, live frogs, activities and games and lots of facts about frogs. I learned so much about frogs. The frogs in this picture are carrying their eggs (top one) and tadpoles (bottom one)

We loved it so much we went one day with friends and again the next day with Grandma. These are one of my favorite frogs - the poison dart frog. Aren't they cute?
I love their color :)

Look at the cute frogs on the top left - I even got to take them home with me :)

And the fat one on the bottom right!!!!!!!! That frog was an African Bullfrog and was so big - the picture doesn't show it well. They are so fat and can weigh up to 3 pounds.

I love how cute these frogs are. Most of them just stared at us.

There was tons of stuff to do and little sheets of paper with questions about every frog! There was even a place where we could do a virtual dissection of a frog (that is what I am doing in the bottom left pic)!

friends

Last summer I went to kids camp at Bluewater Covenant Bible Camp in Grand Rapids, MN. I was there three days and two nights. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again. We drove from MT to Roseau and I rode the bus with other kids from our church in Roseau. It was a 4 hour bus ride and was pretty fun. I knew several of the kids who were going to camp and also my friend Greta worked there.

This is my counselor who we called CC. I really liked her, she was so nice. Also, all the girls in my cabin.

We had chapel twice a day, devotions at night and free time in the afternoon. In my free time I usually swam, went on walks, climbed the rock wall, went kayaking, tubing and lots of other fun stuff.

Here is Alika reading my Bible and her and I on our way to chapel

Here is Greta with Alika and I. I have known Greta since I was 6 months old. She was my first babysitter and from then on spent a lot of time with us. I love to be around her and miss her alot.

Here is my friend Micah on the bus ride home. He was always being silly and making faces. It was fun to go to bluewater with Micah even though I didn't get to see him very much.

My mom let me take her old camera with me and I had fun taking lots of picture. This dragonfly was so cool - he blended right in to the ground and grass. When we went on walks we always walked through the woods and the trees were so pretty.

I had such a fun time at Bluewater and hope that I get a chance to go again.

My Spider

Dad found this spider when he was mowing the lawn. For several days we thought it had an egg sac on its back. My mom and I looked up info on the spider and realized it was just the way it looked - a big bulging body :-)

We let it go and it was really cook because the whole time it crawled across the deck it was letting out a web. We could see it coming out!

He was really ugly but I liked him anyways. Aren't his striped legs cool? He is an Orb Spider, I can't remember which kind

Me and Barney

This is Barney, he is the horse I ride for lessons.

He is very stubborn and I finally got him to trot!

Barney is mostly black but in the sun you can see a lot of brown too. He is really pretty.

This is my friend Samantha on her horse Sadie. Sadie is a really nice horse too. We get to ride together quite a bit and it is really fun.

My Art Gallery

This week I was able to take an art class called Piece of My Art. It was really fun. I did a splatter paint, self portrait, scratch art, landscape, water painting and lots more. On the last day we had an art gallery for all the students and parents. Each one of us took turns giving a presentation about our art. We had to talk about what our two favorite pieces were and why.

When it was my turn to talk I was nervous but I did it anyway. My mom said I did great and she was really proud of me.

Having Fun with Friends

When we went to Roseau to visit my friends mom threw a pool party for her and I. It was sooooo much fun. We swam, sat in the hot tub, the sauna, ate pizza and had a sleepover in the room right next door. It was even more fun than I imagined.

Me, Victoria, Abby, Troian, Alika and Abby in the sauna. Victoria, me and Troian relaxing.

Wolfie and BeeBop

These horses are at my riding teacher's house. The baby is BeeBop. Isn't he cute?

BeeBop loves to give kisses! It is so cute.

The dog likes to sneak up and scare BeeBop!
