Us with kittensThis is my friend, Molly McIntosh. She is a year older than me and she loves animals just as much as I do! Well, these are some pictures that we took over the weekend because she and I had an Annie/Molly weekend. This is what happened:

Saturday: Molly and I went to the barn and the farm owners had invited us to their big picnic party! When we got there we decided to take out Tinkerbelle, but she didn’t want to have her collar and leash on so we had to pull her around the barn but she kept on pulling us back. Then she got loose and everybody was running after her, so we finally decided to just PUT HER AWAY!!! After that we went up to the party to grab a bite to eat and to INVESTIGATE! There’s a little pen connected to the house and there were two baby goats inside. Then I noticed something very strange. There was a little Bernesse Mountain Dog puppy that I’d never seen before! Well, just to have you know, they breed Bernesse Mountain Dogs at the farm so it wasn’t a real shocker to see the puppy, but I’d never seen it before. We went inside the pen and started to pet it. It kind of bit us because it was a baby but we didn’t really mind. Then we went inside the big goat pen to pet the goats then we had a sneaky idea. We chased the goats and tried to catch them and we kept score of how many we touched or caught. After a long hour of chasing goats, we felt like riding. There’s a new horse at the barn named Joey. He’s black with a white stripe down his nose and head. And MY GOD he was a gentlest horse I’ve ever met!!!!! We rode around the riding ring and a couple hours later, we helped Greg (the farm owner) feed the horses. Molly and I got on his little “quad,” (a motorcycle with 4 wheels), and we handed out grain buckets. Then we fed the hay. Greg set out a bale, in front of Oakley’s pen so we gave it to him but it was too much! It was four times the amount he was supposed to get, and when Greg came back Oakley had a huge pile of hay!!! So Greg took out the extra hay. After that, we left. That night I slept over at Molly’s house. She and her mother are fostering 6 kittens and a mother cat because they were at the shelter and were going to be put down. Their names are: Blackie, Mr. Aggressive, The Twins, (Lilly & Libby), there’s also, Mama’s Girl, and Cally. The Mama’s name is Mamasita but her nickname is Mama.

Sunday: In the morning Molly’s mother invited me to a festival near the Hudson River. I called my parents and they said yes! Also, Molly’s friend Libby (one of the kittens was named after her) came with us. Soon Molly’s mom’s friends came over in the car to drive us there. Their names were Ellen and Scott and they had Texas accents! When we got there, we got ice cream and played on the jungle gym. Then we had a tiny picnic and Molly, Libby and I rolled down the hill! THEN we went to a big beach right next to the Hudson River. We didn’t have any swim suits so we had to swim in our shorts and our t-shirts!! Then we left and that is the end of the Annie/Molly weekend!!!

Crazy Lady

My mommy is a crazy lady
She owns a horse and her name is Katie.
She loves animals and birds with wings,
And other silly, crazy things!

She likes cats and dogs and frogs and hogs,
And bunnies and rabbits and wooden logs. (Huh?)

She jogs and talks and dances and laughs,
And she even likes baby giraffes!

She likes people and cuteness,
And as you can see,
She's very weird...
But she still loves me!

The Last Three Days

This is a picture of me and my friend from school, Tea. (pronounced, “Tay-ya.”)

We were in the Pennsylvania mountains, ditching school for three days. I was with Tea and my mom. We were at a lodge and there was an outdoor pool, and inside there were 9 slides, a wave pool, 1 regular pool, plenty of lifeguards, and four-story tree house! Me and Tea had a lot of fun, and my mom usually just hung out by the outdoor pool and sunbathed and read her books. We ate dinner downstairs and even though my mom and Tea thought that the food was disgusting, I thought it was great. My mom thought the food was so bad that all she would have for dinner was a big cup of coffee!! The thing I liked best about some of the pools was that they only went up to 4 feet, and I’m 4’6”! Yay! Me and Tea took turns using the goggles and dived in and out of the outdoor pool. It was kind of cool to see everything that was going on below the water.

Well, that’s about everything that the lodge has, we were really sad when we left. Also, to make matters worse, on the day that we left there was a big thunder and lightening storm. It’s 2 hours to get home but because of the storm it took 2 1/2 hours. ALSO it took long because my mom had to pull over a few times because it was too dangerous to drive!! Before we left, my mom got me a teddy bear, a little wolf, a bigger wolf, and a little stuffed moose. She got Tea a teddy bear, a snow globe with a wolf inside it, and a little wolf. My mom fell SO in love with my little moose that she bought one for herself and she cooed to it and kissed it and me and Tea said that she was an alien!

I hope you enjoyed my trip like I did.

Good bye!
