Today I helped my mom and dad outside. It was a long day and a lot of work!

We dug up some plants out of our planter and replanted them on the side of our house. I had to use the wheelbarrow to take the plants to their new home.

The white dog who lives next door wanted to help too.

Here's out planter before and after. It's not done, but it looks better!
Here's the side of our house. We're going to put a walkway in the middle, but we've started planting!
We also decided to plant a wondundrin (rhododendron). We need to water it so it will get bigger than dad!
After we got done planting we went to get some ice cream! It tasted good after working hard.

**Note from Mom and Dad: It was definitly different digging up sandy-clay soil rather than the nice rich black Iowa soil!***

Thank You Grandma & Grandpa

Grandma & Grandpa brought me a noisy basketball hoop. It is so awesome! I just can't believe I get to keep it.

We went out to eat. I got fish and chips, just like Grandpa Denny! They were delicious.
Grandma and I read a book together, too! Then, we talked with Kevin and Annelise on the computer! Baby Ashlynn was awake so we got to see her too. She's my new baby cousin. She's so cute.
Thank you for coming Grandma and Grandpa! I had so much fun! I love you.

Air & Space Museum

Today we all went to the Air & Space Museum. It was so cool. We all got on a computer and pretended to fly a plane. My plane did a loop-da-loop! It was AWESOME!

I even got to sit in a plane and pretend to fly it.
Grandma and I had to move levers to make this work.
We pretended like we were real live spacemen working on the moon!
Grandpa and I did an experiment. You had to put silly glasses on and then shoot a basketball into the hoop.
The glasses made it really hard.
Next, Grandma and I had to work together to launch a rocket. We each had to turn all the switches on and then it worked!
We all took our picture as an astronaut and went to the moon!
It was fun learning about airplanes and space.

Bingo

Tonight Grandma Lou and Grandpa Denny came for a visit! We all went to Bingo Night at my school. It was so much fun. Grandma wanted to win, but I told her we just need to have fun. We sat by my best friend Elliot.

We all ate pizza, popcorn and other snacks. Then, we bought our own dabbers to mark the numbers on our cards.
Then, Elliot and I got money and went up for the Kid's Auction. We wanted to win something so bad!
We decided to put our money together so we'd have more, but it still wasn't enough. We didn't have enough money to get anything!
We didn't win a Bingo prize, but I did win a little grab bag!
It was a lot of fun and I'm glad Grandma and Grandpa came and got to see my school!
