My cousin, Jennifer, was married on March 1, 2008. Lauren was a candlelighter in the wedding. The kids had lots of fun, especially on the dance floor. I was able to catch one quick shot of Lauren dancing with Matthew and Michael.  Seeing as how 2 year old Michael had missed him afternoon nap, and spent the majority of the wedding crawling under the pews, going from my lap to Daddy's to Grandaddy's to Grandmummer's, he was pretty exhausted at the end of the evening. He almost looks like he had too much fruit punch to drink. LOL The other thing that wore him out was going from table to table, finding any mini bottle of bubbles that were left and pouring them on the floor. He managed to leave a good-sized puddle right next to the cake table. Good thing I caught it when I did. Can you just picture what a mess it would have been if someone had slid right into the cake?  Yeah, Jen, you're welcome!  Our homeschool group went on a fun field trip yesterday. We attended Kids, Kows and More. It was sponsored by Southwest Dairy Farmers, and was really geared towards all ages. There were several activities for the kids to participate in, and it was nice for wiggle-worms because they could walk around after each presentation and stretch their legs. The first exhibit had a two-row John Deere cotton picker set up to look like it was actually in a field. Some 4-H and FFA kids must have had fun "planting" the cotton stalks in the rows. It looked great!  Here's a picture of Matthew standing by the exhibit.  During the presentation, two volunteers were asked to help with a demonstration. There was a mini cotton gin that the presenter used to show how the cotton seeds and fibers were separated. She wanted to show how cotton was previously processed before Eli Whitney came up with his brilliant cotton gin invention. So Lauren and a boy were chosen to help out. They had to see how fast they could remove the seeds, and if they could be more efficient than the gin. It was fun to watch, and the gin obviously separated more seeds faster than the kids were able to do by hand.  This wasn't the best picture, but you get the idea.The next time we go on a field trip, or anywhere else for that matter, I'm going to bring fresh batteries for my camera. I was so disappointed that I missed a lot of good photo ops! Maybe next time. |
