Times Flies When You're Having Fun!

I can't believe it's Dec. already and the 2 months on KY are already over!!
It went by WAY to fast!
But while Megs and I were there, we had a ton of fun and made some amazing new friends!

We worked at the Ark Encounter Zoo, it was so much fun I didn't want to leave!
Made some fun animal friends that I'm also going to miss!

I had fun and except for the first two weeks, I tried to take videos everyday and put them together at the end of the week for a fun video. I did 6 videos plus an extra from our Indianapolis Zoo visit.
Just uploaded my last video this week!

My Adventure! Part 1

Greetings from the state of Kentucky!
On Oct 2nd mom, Megs and I started off on our 3 day straight through trip to Ky.

We had a packed full car as we were taking a goat to KY with us to be picked up by his new owner and taken to VA.

Packed and ready!

Here are some pictures of our 3 day Trip to Ky.

Good Morning Utah!

Cool rock formation in UT

Welcome to WY! Visited a rest stop/visitor center

Look out! ;)

Nothing upon nothing for miles and miles in WY

Starting to get hills (WY)

Ok, next post will be our creation Museum visit. :)

Hope y'all are doing well, and keeping warmer than we are out here in chilly morning KY.

Keep fighting for Jesus the King of Forever!

What I've been up to...

Hmm... Looks like I have neglected my blog for over a month.... Sorry about that.
I do have a good excuse! Several actually, though I know excuses are..
um...  poor and inadiquite. (heh, I looked that meaning up.) 😀

So in August we have several things happen!

1. My sister Megs and I applied and were accepted for a season position at the Ark Encounter in KY! It's cool! Go check it out! 
2. Our grandparents are moving up to live with us from CA. So we've been preping their house and getting everything ready for them. They will be here THIS WEEKEND!!! 😮😁
3. Finally getting the last of our fencing up so the yard is fully enclosed for our doggies so they can't run up to the road.
4. We've been busy preping things so I'm all caught up on getting the critters ready for winter BEFORE I  leave for KY! Man, there is so much to do!

And this past Saturday the biggest event at the Fort, Campfires & Candlelight happened!
It was great! I was in the WWI camp again, 5th year in a row. (can't tell I like it or anything can you?) 😉
Here are some pictures I found on the Fort website as I didn't take any myself.

 It was lots of fun and we didn't get rained on this year which was great!

Ok, back to work,I've taken a long enough break. 😊

Camping!!

Two weeks ago we went camping for the first time in 10 years!!! 😮😆

It was a BLAST!!! Only complaint... to. many. bugs... mostly the gnats. 😒
But we got to go hiking, agate and crystal hunting in the creeks,
dry beds and the liquid ice filled ones. BRRRR! was it cold!

But we went with some family friends and everyone had fun.
Here are some pictures from our adventure! 😄

It was a great few days!

Beach!!

I LOVE the beach!!!😎
This year, for my dad's birthday, some friends and us went to the Bow Picker for fish n' chips, then went up to the Astoria Column to eat them and show them the column as they've never been there before!
Then we all went to the shipwreck at the Fort Stevens beach.
So much fun!
Here are some pictures from our exchersion.😄

It was a great day!! 😄

Fun Times!

June 30th we went to the Ape Cave with friends.
SO much fun! We hiked 10 miles altogether that day, I got 25,439 steps! 
We also went to Lava Canyon, and since it was the last day of June why not stop at June Lake?

Lava Canyon

June Lake!

On the 4th we went to help our church in the Ridgefield Day Parade.
Loads of fun and I even made it into the Columbian!

That evening we went with friends to volunteer at Fort Vancouver and then stayed and watch the fireworks afterwards. SO AMAZING!!! Love Fireworks! 😊

A few months ago my computer had a glitch and I lost all my old emails and contacts.
Mrs. A. I have lost your email and want to send you some pictures.

Hope your all having a great start to your summer!
