Washington DC field trip....

Our school went to Washington DC for the whole day yesterday. We had a blast! We had to arrive at the school at 5:30 so we could leave by 6:00 am. Our school rented two charter buses one for the younger grades and one for the upper grades. We had so much fun on the bus we played with my camera and took some pretty funny pictures. Heres one of Laura Cagle and I





First thing we did was go to the National Archives! It was really fun i got to see The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Articles of confederation and The Bill of Rights Oh and we saw the Magna Carta (which is in Latin)
Here are some pictures













The Declaration of Independence!



We had to quickly rush outta the National Archives and Choke down our lunch and run to the Holocaust Museum Because our tickets were for 12:30.
We weren't allowed to take pictures in the Museum... I didn't know that untill i took a few so here they are, just don't copy and past them or sell them or something! thanks! haha








This is a train they would put close to 400 jews in it to bring them to the camps.





These two people are holocaust survivors! it was such a treat to talk to them and here their stories. The man showed us his tattoo (they tatooed numbers on their arms) He was shot in the head also. He left the camp when he was 17 and only wieghed 75 lbs! I loved talking to them!

After that we went to Mount Vernon, this was my favorit! It was beautiful! here are some pictures, Note: Laura Cagle took most of these pictures, then my camera died... once i get some pictures from other people i'll post more!














this is it for now! have a great day EVERYONE!

January 2008!!

First off, I'm sorry for not posting lately my family and i have been to busy doing better things! haha just kidding...

This week we (Jessica, David, Reed, and myself) made a ginger bread house... well we decorated it after my mom made it, and David mostly decorated it, he just bossed everyone around and told us how to do it, the funny part is we listened!
Thursday was my grandma's birthday so we went over to her house and got to eat donuts and have some coffee, it was fun being able to spend time with her and Hammie (my great-grandma) plus they were excited to show us there Christmas tree. (she always has really big pretty ones)

anyways i just wanted to update y'all on what's been going on lately... I'll try to post more often.

until then
peace!

Reed and i were getting bored at David bossing us around so we did our own thing!

Reed's garden (he is very proud of this!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandma!! (she is now 113! she doesn't look a day older than 60)
