Be sure to visit Mrs. Mary for more Show and Tells. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/574671/ Fri, 15 Aug 2008 09:45:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/574671/ This summer I wanted to earn some money of my own, so my mom is helping me pick blackberries (we have a large crop in our backyard), and I am selling them at my cousin's roadside produce stand.  I work Mondays through Fridays from 3:00 until 5:30 selling blackberries.  I haven't made much money though. I am also raising my own patch of sunflowers, but I don't want to sell the seeds. I want to plant a bigger field of sunflowers next year!  Join Mrs. Mary  for more fun show and tells. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/556196/ Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:53:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/556196/ We went to St. Louis on vacation a few weeks ago.  While we were there, we went to a place called "Grant's Farm."  It was called that because at one time the farm belonged to Ulysses S. Grant.  Here is a picture of his log cabin.  It has a fence made of rifles from the Civil War. It has a large animal preserve with lots of exotic animals. Here's the Indian House for the cows that are sacred in India.  There's some of the cows in the picture too. The farm also has lots of animals that you can pet and feed. Here's my sister petting a minature horse. We also got to bottle feed the baby goats.  My sister is in the background. I think a goat knocked her over. We had lots of fun.  Join Mrs. Mary  for more fun show and tells. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/543542/ Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:36:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/543542/ Today my dad and I went on a fishing trip. Here's me getting ready to fish. I caught a catfish. Here's me getting ready to throw it back in the water.. AS we were leaving, this is what we found on the bridge----a copperhead.  We had to walk around it very carefully. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/537541/ Sat, 24 May 2008 18:45:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/537541/ Bethany has given me the Gold Star blogger award.  Thanks!  I give it to all my blogger friends, including my sister and my mom. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/531540/ Wed, 14 May 2008 11:29:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/pokepal/531540/ This is my first show and tell with Mrs. Mary.  My family went to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens last weekend and I got to make pictures.  Here's the indoor cactus garden: This is the outdoor cactus garden: I saw lots of different animals in the garden.
