Flower Power
Fiona wrote this poem the other day about being flower girl for her big sister’s wedding this coming Saturday.
I am going
to be my sister’s
flower girl.
The dress is white (ivory really) and has sparkly sequins and we’re adding a clover green sash and bow.
Fiona also drew this picture that has nothing to do with being a flower girl.
Interesting Cacti Facts at Burnt Well Rest Area and Wind Energy
We had an early morning rise Monday, February 28, at 7 am to start the trek from Arizona back to California for three weeks. Our first stop was at the Burnt Well Rest area about 80 miles from the California border.
We took this picture of facts posted about cacti you might find interesting.
A bit later we stopped at another rest stop and learned about wind energy. This area has lots of windmills in a wind farm.
Fiona had her first YooHoo, a chocolate drink, at Fab Hot Dog in Los Angeles.
Field Trip to Papago Park in Phoenix Arizona
Today we took a field trip to Papago Park in Phoenix Arizona. It’s about a 30 minute drive from where we’re staying with friends in Mesa. Fiona was very brave and walked up to the Hole in the Rock and back down again. After we ate lunch, Fiona got to feed the birds in the pond. We went through a whole loaf of bread. She and Virgie then explored the outskirts of the pond.
Fiona’s Paper Doll Video
Fiona wanted to make her very own video. She promises to make more. I hope you all enjoy!
Theme Song of Pink Strawberry Land and Other Adventure Songs
Fiona wrote these songs some time ago.
The Theme song of Pink Strawberry Land
Strawberries are pink, not red.
Everyday there’s time to play.
But that’s all to say for today.
Thanks for a theme.
This is a real song.
Save The Pink Balloons
The balloons are going to be popped by
the wind on this most sunny day.
But that’s all to say, for today.
Save the balloons!
Strawberries Straw Bear
So many strawberries grow around you.
You could make a strawberry milkshake.
But most of all if you have
different kinds of fruits all around you,
you could just listen to them all day long.
But bye-bye everyday is just
what you don’t have to say.
Bye-bye.
Strawberry Balloons
The balloons of here are all pink.
But the one balloon called the
balloon suner is blue.
If you can believe it a diamond is
more than one speck.
All sorts of colors and shapes
in the dullers.
Sleep Day
Don’t sleep at day.
It’s too much
bright at day.
Just don’t go away.
Every night go to sleep.
Just not at day.
That means every day
you lay down.
Bye-bye
From Phoenix to Roseville
Fiona had fun in Phoenix baking cookies with Virgie for the road trip. She’s now in Roseville California playing at the Stephen’s house. Last night her big sister Rachelle came over with her fiance Ryan. Fiona misses her sister.
Visiting Mrs. Parker’s Kindergarten Class in Colorado
Fiona had such fun visiting Mrs. Parker’s class this week. She was sad to leave after such a short visit.
Fiona got to show the class where she’s traveled. After the school day ended, Fiona took a few minutes to read a book to herself in the class room.
Daddy also got to play his mandolin for the class.
And the next day, Fiona was in Castle Rock for a short while.
Fiona says hello to Mrs. Parker’s class and wants them to know she’s now in New Mexico.
Fiona in Missouri and Kansas
Fiona is homeschooled and learning a lot as we travel around. She’s recently been in Missouri and Kansas. A class in a school in Denver Colorado is following her blog so she’s taking pictures of places she’s recently been, posting them here and waving hi to the class. Enjoy!
It’s Just Two Sisters in This House
Yet another Fiona story.
It’s just two sisters in this house. But they still live together. And they really love each other. But sometimes they hug. But they’re really sisters, I telled you. And our mom lives away from us. But sometimes my sister Rachelle buys me toys at her work.
