BAILEE'S PET ROCK PROJECT

Bailee had a project to do for her 5th grade science class.
Caiden did one last year, and so enjoyed this project. Girls and Boys are so different, for Bailee wanted her project GREAT!! So we took several rocks and spray painted them and made it a Fall Theme.
We took a simple cardboard box, painted it, glued on it, and put hay in the bottom. We glued several leaves on rocks. We also took some pilgrim faces and glued them onto the rocks. I found a cute little pumpkin that used batteries and blinked in and off! It was so cool!!

She painted jack o lantern faces on some of the rocks.
Bailee and her friend Ashley evened worked together on their projects. We had so much fun doing this cute little pet rock project!! Bailee made a 100 on it!!

SWIMMING WITH THE SEA LIONS


For my 35th Birthday, my family gave me a wonderful gift!! I got to swim with sea lions at Sea World!!
It was such an AWESOME experience and I enjoyed every minute of interacting with these amazing animals!!
Not only did I swim with them, I got to really see these animals perform some amazing things!






The sea lions were very smart and they are some beautiful creatures!



The instructor taught us some neat hand tricks to do and these sea lions were very willing to do whatever we asked of them!

I was so nervous but so excited at the same time!! They were unreal, the touch of their skin was like a puppy dog, really.











Just from a simple hand signal, the amazing creatures did some amazing things!!






The water was VERY cold, but i warmed up very quickly!!












I so enjoyed everything about this amazing trip!!!! Thanks so much to Jerry, Caiden, and Bailee for letting me live a dream and swim with some amazing animals!!! I had such a great time and learned a lot about sea lions!!
