I am a field trip Junkie!

James Brian with a black bear behind him. It was so cute. It stood up on it hind legs. It probably thought we had food!


James Brian and his friend Sam. See that turtle coming out of his hole.


JB got to pet a snake? Do you call it petting a snake?


That man is holding a screech owl. He was a cute little thing. They aren't very loud because something bigger might eat them.


JB in front of the black rhino. Black Rhinos aren't really black!


I am not really field trip junkie, I hate field trips but this was a good one today.

James Brian and I went to the Parks at Chehaw. It is near Albany, about an hour and 15 minutes away. It was different than the Atlanta Zoo. They had a black Rhino, and cougars and several animals that you don't see in Atlanta. Last week each child had to do a project on the animal they picked out of the hat. JB's was the black rhino. He was so excited to see a real one today. I was impressed myself. I was more excited about the meerkat exhibit they are getting. You know I love those things and no zoos in the southeast have them. So I will be going back!

We have had a busy week.

Monday Cydney had a soccer game in Albany. They lost 15-0. How do you score 15 points in soccer? I ask her if they scored a touchdown. She is starting to not like soccer. Apparently her team mates don't care if they win or not and it makes her mad.

Tuesday we had a soccer game in Macon. Zach went with us. He drove and I rode in the back with the little ones. It was nice being chauffeured around!

I went to curves one day this week. I worked Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday daddy needed to go the the credit union to pay for a car. I was being sweet and said daddy can I take that for you, thinking he would so no, I'll do it, guess what he said sure you can. GRRR! So I went to Warner Robins and before I left there Brian called and ask me to go to Byron to pick up a part and before I left there Brian called again and ask me to go to Macon to pick up another part. On top of that I had to pay for the parts myself(they gave me my money back). I don't love being errand girl. It did keep us from paying someone else to do it and I got lunch out of it!

I have a terrible cold. Brian is getting sick but our schedule will not allow us to be sick so we just keep taking OTC drugs and keep pushing on. Each time we take something we tell the other person what we took in case something happens they'll know what to tell the doctor!

Grayce is at softball practice. Cydney had soccer but she is now at the dealership "test driving cars". She will be 16 on Saturday and we have to make a decision about a car. This morning JB and I needed to leave a little early so Brian was going to take the girls. Then I realized Cyd won't be riding with me too many more days so I went back and told her to get up and hurry up. She didn't have many days left with me and I wasn't giving up this one. Needless to say she rolled her eyes at me and rolled over.

We have two ball games Thursday and two on Friday. We are taking Cydney out for her birthday on Saturday after she plays softball in a tournament in Crawford County. Gee, see what I am talking about. I would like to just sit and bed and be sick and enjoy it. Not really, I can be sick when I am dead!

Oh, by the way, the wheels are still on at the carlot but keep praying for us. The car business is a terrible profession to be in right now.

Oh yea, they had a zebra I just didn't take his picture. You seen one zebra you seen em all. I will change the background tomorrow before my sister fusses. It sort of makes your eyes go goofy when your trying to read!
