Zoo

Last week we all went to Omaha to the Henry Doorly Zoo. We got to stay over night on a fancy hotel with a in door swiming pool. The beds were great! And the view was nice! I always like to give the hotels I stay in a rating. I would give this a 4 star rating. Only for stars because the pool was closed! They didn't even tell us. We were all mad and sad. Lilli was in tears. Dad went up to the front desk and talked with the manger. They said they could take down the road to another pool but dad said no. Instead we dad took us to the family fun center. I think we had more fun there then we would of had swiming. We got back to the hotel very late at night. We left mom and the two little ones there. We didn't get to bed until so late! But that doesn't mean we went to sleep! We had to share a room with Lilli and Mattias. Lilli kept talking and talking and talking! But lucky for us we had are secret tool. We had out mp3 players all the way up! I didn't get to sleep until 12:30. And if that was bad I had to wake up very early to go to the zoo. Me and mom had some 4-H zoo training. The rest of the family went to the zoo but they had to come home early and do all my chores! But they didn't do a good job. The hose was on the puppys were out The bull didn't have any water. But other then that they did fine.

All the animals are doing just fine. In less then a month we will have baby sheep and goats on the ground. That will be great! I love taking care of all the animals on the farm. The only thing that I could live with out is not taking care of the dad's bull. He has it up at the house all the time now and I have to take care of it. He drinks a lot of water! I guess I don't mind but he's up here 10 months out out of the year! Summer is a great time to take care of the chores but in the cold hard winter all the animals water jugs freeze and then you have to take it out and fight with it. That's the big pain with animals if you ever want to get them. It will be the middle of june and you will want something to do so you will get some sort of animal say, a donkey. Its easy in the summer but then when the first winter snow comes it gets harder to take care of it.

Well, I have to go. Guess who has to milk again today. That's right! Me. I don't mind that much because when we milk we get the reward of playing pirate game on the computer. So its worth it. I need to blog more often then I do. bye.

No Band With.

I am so sorry that I haven't posted anything in a long time! My family has almost run out of Band With. I am sure I spelled that wrong. I haven't been able to get on the computer for 3 days! I wonder how the cave men made it with out computers. I don't need to use the computers everyday or even every week. Its just nice to go look up something or check my email. So know that I am on the computer let me tell you all that as been going on around here.

Mess Around Ranch. That is what the name of our farm is and for good reason too! We just got two St. Bernard puppys! Not one but two! What is the matter with us! We were only going to get one but one puppy leads to another. The one was so sad to leave the other. So now we have four dogs on our farm. Can you belive it? When dad told mom that we got two she didn't belive him! At first she thought it was a joke. They are so cute! You got to love a St. Bernard!

Today me and my brother Josiah went with dad to town to go get parts for the deck. A few years back we went to Taekwondo and came home to see that the roof came in! Dad is fixing it right now! In town we got to buy some cool multi tools. I think we will use them a lot. 

Elijah just came in and he says he has had all he can take with Josiah's goats! I have had all I can take too! They are still out roaming free! They got out of the goat pen when we got all the snow. They were able to just climb over the gate! In one month they will have goat babys! We will also have sheep! That's the cool thing about my sheep at lambing time. They can have twins and triplets! We will have a lot! We will have to get rid of quite a few of them I bet. I have a number of sheep that I can keep. I will pass the line. We will eat them or sell them. Or trade them. My ram died a while back. I haven't found a new one yet. There are good things about my sheep and there are some really bad thing about my sheep. One of the really bad things about my sheep is when they stick there head through the fence is their horns get their heads stuck and they can't get out! I lost a sheep that way. She had a big crooked horn and she stuck it in the fence, triped and couldn't get back up. Some of them can't get their heads stuck because of their horns.

Its time to do chores and stuff. Me and Josiah have been milking the cow for the last five days, mom has been feeling sick. So we have been helping her out. I am going to end this post with a pitcure of the puppys. By the way, the puppys names are Lucy and Susan. Here they are! They are so cute!
