More Adventures

In the morning me and Mr Messy accompanied Cabbage Queen and Farm Boy to church. I attended the service with our friends, while Mr Messy wandered around the outside photographing. The service was very similar to a church we attended when the girls were little, but with lots of touches that made it uniquely American :-)

Big excitement yesterday, some of the neighbourhood kids came to call on Drama Teen. She went down to the creek with them and later when we were going out, she decided to stay at the house to play with her new friends. I think she is getting fed up with just having her little brother to play with!

We all went out to Farm Boy's friend's house. He is a collector of Native American artifacts and had offered to show the girls his NA jewellery collection. LMS was spellbound by all the pieces, and the man told her the history and providence of most of the pieces, it was fascinating. While we were there Cabbage Queen took Little Prince to the play park near the town swimming pool - he would have messed too much with all the valuable/delicate things!! The house was a veritable museum! I loved the little children's moccasins, you could just imagine a child running round in them years ago :-) LMS was moved almost to tears when she was given a turquoise pendant, and I am sure she will love and appreciate it :-) It seemed like only minutes before Cabbage Queen and Little Prince were back, although in reality it had been well over an hour! And we had a drink and muffin together, before we said our goodbyes and set off on our next adventure.

We were visiting a park next to a very famous American River. We called at Walmart on the way and got some "fixings" for a picnic, so we sat at the tables eating our cooked chicken and potato salad, it was lovley :-) Mr Messy managed to get photos of a Bald Eagle flying overhead, but the Humming Birds were still too quick lol. We took Little Prince over to the small play park to run off some energy, which he really enjoyed :-) Then we set off back in the car to drive down the river a little way, before setting off back home. With all the driving we did today, we visited three different States!!

Back at the house we shared cheesecake to celebrate Farm Boy's birthday - Happy Birthday Farm Boy :-)
