Story of the World this week we attempted to make some ink for our feather pen out</div>

of walnut shells. First we cracked the nuts and gathered the shells together.</div>

the ink, but the process was rather a fun experiment!</div>

The kids had an amazing time. Im always surprised how much I like to see the animals. I want to pet them all. I think I even get more excited that the kids. I would like to stop and watch each one for a while... but there are a lot of animals to see, and we have no time to waste!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhClUC_VjSc7Cm8NHpsR8IUaPPI9RDTv4yxoo-83oLHSM0o9Ir9AWiMJuIDS1s4Szv3Ki-ME4nXVeh6IPA4rLc_0IowU6mPcLIAaN16NiRU21ZqeMjIOOgonqiFTxnxWvZ2QmaQkL5uPA4/s1600/DSC05472.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhClUC_VjSc7Cm8NHpsR8IUaPPI9RDTv4yxoo-83oLHSM0o9Ir9AWiMJuIDS1s4Szv3Ki-ME4nXVeh6IPA4rLc_0IowU6mPcLIAaN16NiRU21ZqeMjIOOgonqiFTxnxWvZ2QmaQkL5uPA4/s320/DSC05472.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This yummy soup was made entirely by these girls. They washed the veggies, chopped them, and cooked up this soup. They also did the dishes! Then we delivered it to a sick someone.<br />
It was fabulous. Now that Im writing this Im thinking that we should start that up again.<br />

I was able to visit with one of my best friends in the world this summer. I have so may fun memories with Somer. Roller blading, singing parties, late night dig up the can adventures, bridge jumping. I could go on for a while. Anyways it was so good to see her with her Stephan and all her little ones.<br />

The best thing about gardening is that you just put seeds in the ground and they come up .<br />
Its like magic. <br />
Its free. Everything that comes up is a gift from Heavenly Father.<br />
And I dont even mind pulling the weeds.<br />
