Noah's Ark

We read today about Noah and the ark, so we decided to go out and measure in this field how long the ark was. We started at the willow tree...and this is only half way! This is how we measured...this stick is 2 cubits long - or about 3 feet.

And 300 cubits is....from here to the willow tree. Thats a big boat!

And of course, while at the park, we had to climb in the climbing tree, as its fondly called.

A tiger on his way to the ark.

And..hm I'm not sure this could be anything but a lissy!

How do you think it went? I did get a couple good ones. :)

Coming from Alyssa's room...

"Hey over there."
"Hey over there!"
Now sounding more urgent,
"Hey! Hey over there!"

I say, "Alyssa, who are you talking to?"

She says "no one". And then continues.
"Hey over there".
"Hey over there!"
"Hey,.. hey over there!"

I concluded that some rude doll must have been ignoring her.

She was my child

She was my favorite. She accompanied me many places. She had many outfits, some made by my mom, some by my grandmother. And after a 20 year nap in a box, Meleida Joy now belongs to Alyssa.

So I guess that makes me a grandma.
