Ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip Coooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!

We made a zip cord in my grandpa's haymow and it is really fun.  Sometime you guys could come down here and try it.  Maybe, if you wanted to.

 

It is made of cable from a met tower from my dad's work, and a pulley, and a rope.  It took a long time to make it.  I ride it every time we go outside.  Me and my dad made it.

New Combine

My grandpa got a new combine on February 1st.  It's a John Deere that is bigger than his old one.  And that one never worked very well. 

The combine got here on a semi with the wheels still on.  They drove it off the semi and we got to ride it into the shop my Grandpa rents.  It came from O'Neill, Nebraska, where my mom's aunts and uncles live.

We finally got snow, but it melted all the way gone.  Now it's all puddly and all our puddles end at the end of our walkway.

Please comment if you read this.

Lost Tooth

This is my very first lost tooth.  I lost it on February 5th and I got four quarters.

This is my tooth that fell out on February 5th.  I still have the hole in my mouth, and I am still excited.

Dusty and brown

My uncle and me and Brinda and Neave were reading a book called "This is the Stable."  The only word that was in it was "dusty and brown." 

We finally got some snow, and a lot of it. So much that our car, and *almost* our grandpa's pickup with 4-wheel drive, got stuck in it.

Christmas, by Brinda

I had two Christmases, one in our house and one early one in my Grandpa's house and my Grandma's house.

 I had a happy new years and we banged pots and pans and said happy new years and we woke up our neighbors.

Neave and Funky Monkey are cute together.

The chickens I think are all out there and the picture is nice with the chickens.

The four-wheeler is in the machine shed - the *new* machine shed, not the old machine shed.

My farm is nice, and there's lots of busy cars in my country.  And I like this country because I live by my Grandpa and Grandma and I had a nice Christmas with my Grandma and Grandpa.

our trip to Boston

In the beginning of December we took a trip to Boston to Uncle Bob and Uncle Bill and Aunt Joan.  We flew from Minneapolis.

This is on our way to Peter Pan with our Uncle Bob.  The play was really fun.  There were cannonballs.



We ate supper at Fran's cabin.




This is Albert John and Rocco.  We were zooming a little playmobile four-wheeler down the stairs in the cabin.



This is me serving ice cream after supper in the cabin.




These are the Christmas lights we saw when we were taking a walk in Boston.

 When we got back to Minneapolis, there was tons of snow on the ground.  Now it is all melted.

the train to Glacier National Park

In the train, it was fun.  They had bunk beds and a dining car.  The food was good. We got ice cream with a spoon in the lid. 

Then we got off for breaks.  We got to see the Badlands.
