Biking, Fishing, Exploring, Blueberry, Frogs, and Birds

We started out by biking to a spot where we might find some fish and blueberries, we found neither.  So we went exploring and Starry sure has a great imagination.  We found a dead body (an old jacket) and a lot of evidence along the way. 

We then found a frog.  Starry tried kissing the frog, but nothing happened, so she let him go back into the pond.  I did eventually find and pick 7 cups of blueberries and now just have to find time to time to go back and get some more. 

Then we spotted this blue heron on the way home.  It was a great day of adventure.

Easter on the 4th of July

The 4th of July was filled with a little bit of activity.  We started off with home made waffles.  Then headed off to the lake to try our hand at fishing.  No luck at all this time.  We returned to discove that the Easter Bunny had finally arrived and there were over 200 chocolate egges and other various items hidden about in my and my sisters apartment.  We all had fun looking around for the treats.

Fishing Practice & One Million Words

Starry has asked me if she could go fishing, several times.  We signed up for the Great Park Pursuit in New Hampshire and the first activity is sponsored by the Fish and Game.  Free fishing will be offered for all adults.  To get ready for the event I bought a fishing pole for both of us.  Starry's fishing pole has a fish you can tie onto the end, so Starry had a lot of fun out in the yard practicing casting.  She got pretty good, once she calmed down.

Notice the shirt.  It says that Starry has read a met the 1 million word challenge.  She got a t-shirt and a special meal at school today for her accomplishment.  I ask, who actually read the million words and filled out all the forms.  I did, and what do I get Nada.
