Meteor Shower!
Momma woke me up (not exactly woke me up) it was more along the lines of brought me upstairs about 3:00 a.m. That was LATE.
Momma carried me upstairs. We went outside out the front door. Then we waited and looked. It is hard to find meteors!
I saw a lot of small ones. There was mostly small ones, but I saw two REALLY good ones. I enjoyed them and liked them.
We sang Our God is an Awesome God, so that I would remember that it was real and God did it. If we were the only ones looking at it, God would still have done it.
Momma helped me find them. We had fun! The meteor shower is called Perseids and it happens every August. Last night was a good night to see it because it was supposedly dark because the moon was new. Our sky was bright 🙁 .
Here’s a website that tells about it and some other neat things this month.

Daddy, ukhule uze ukhokhobe!
Today is Daddy’s birthday.
The title translates to “Daddy, may you live to grow so old that you walk double over your walking stick!”
Daddy was born in South Africa. He is handsome. He loves Momma. He loves God. He tells me about God. He tries to obey what God says in the Bible.
He does good at work. He works on a jet engine.
He is fun. He is A LOT of fun. He took us to the Manitou Islands. He taught me how to put up a tent and use a camp stove. We hiked, ate, and had fun!
He helps me learn things. He helped me learn to hammer. He helped me learn about jet engines. He let me help dig up the rocks in the front yard and make the swing set.
Here is different ways to say “Happy Birthday” and “I love you”. Can you guess where
they are from? Thank you Oma, Opa, Uncle Phil, Grandpa, Great Grandma, Uncle John, and Auntie Beulah for sending me the notes on how to say the different sayings.
The languages to chose from are two from Zulu, Afrikaans, Greek, French, Spanish, Finnish, Polish, English, German and Swedish. The first line is “Happy Birthday” and the bottom line is “I love you!” (if they are not exactly right sorry about that. Please tell me how to fix it!)

News Break

He has the cage nearby what ever he does so he can be there as soon as the next one emerges!

bog
I told you I would write more about our vacation.
We are going to talk about the bog. Where is the bog? Down, Down Down. The first part of the bog is called the moat. The second is the mat and the third is the middle, because it is in the middle. If you stand on a board walk and jump straight up and down, the bog wobbles in the middle of where the board walk is.
The difference between and bog and a blog is that you do not usually
write on bogs and you don’t usually use peat moss in a blog.
The difference between a bog and a swamp is that a bog is land overtaking water and a swamp is where water overtakes the land.
It was fun. We got to JUMP in. When you jump, you either go in face first, arms spread out wide (that is called a Superman). That one is the coolest one. The second coolest way is called rock star. You jump in knee first. This one is called the original, you jump in bottom first, legs spread out wide.
Jumping down feet first is called the WRONG way! Because you sink. It’s HARD to get out.
To get out, you crawl on your hands and knees or do the army crawl
.
You can grow carnivorous plants in a bog. Indians used to use it as diapers because it is “clean” (Uncle Dave called it sterile) and it can hold 100 times its own weight in water! Settlers used it as a refrigerator! Scientists have found pieces of meat! In another bog they even found a person!
I want to do the bog again!
My Weekend 27-29 July Part 1
We saw Reece and Cardin at their new home at Lake Ann. It was fun.
On Thursday we drove up to Michigan. When Reece came on Friday we also saw AJ.
We went to the beach with Reece and AJ. We found a frog. I found the frog, it surprised me. When I noticed what it was, I called Reece and he caught it. We were walking along the river when I saw it. Continue reading My Weekend 27-29 July Part 1
