I had a very eventful past three days! On Friday, we took our class field trip to the fire department here in our Village. Mom was able to drop Z-man off at a friend's house, so she could come with us. We had so much fun! The fire truck picked us up at school and we rode ON TOP to the fire house, that's right, ON TOP, sirens and all. We learned all about fire safety and prevention. That night, we tested all of our smoke detectors at home and made sure everyone knew our safe place. We still need to get a ladder to keep upstairs in the bedrooms though. On Saturday, Mom took me to a sweet little orchard to go apple pickin'. We had just enough cash on hand to pick 8lbs of apples. The orchard was nothing more than someone's house with a sweet little set up. The older couple that lives there was so nice to me. They let me feed cat food to the catfish (yes, that's right) and cat food to the ducks. The kitties and ducks loved to play with each other. We will definitely be going back there again soon. Next time, we'll bring Zach. But don't feel bad for him, he had fun hanging back home with Dad. Since Dad will probably be farming the next couple weekends, Mom kept him very busy around the house.

Today was football day, of course, AND Mom and Dad's 6th anniversary. They had thought about going somewhere for the weekend, but with the upcoming Disney trip, they decided to keep it low key. So we had a nice day together as the family. We went to the mall later today (something Dad hasn't done since pre-France days) and finished off the night with fine dining at Le Homard Rouge (that's Red Lobster for you laymen). It was pretty, well, fishy, but you know, Mom had a coupon, so we had to go there. Seriously Mom, enough with the coupons. I made a very nice card for Mom and Dad that they really liked. I'm pretty happy to have them for my Mom and Dad. I think they're happy with the arrangement too :)

I've got a fun week of school coming up. Disney is 3 weeks away! Holy cow, where did that come from? Mom still has a lot to do to get ready.
