Yay! I love the recorder! we actually had recorder lessons from sis. Robin when we were younger. Since then I've played around with it some, but I'd forgotten a lot of the notes. It only has 6 holes right? well, not to long ago my mom bought a Disney recorder book. so now I've been driving some of my family crazy while I learned 'under the sea' and 'beauty and the beast'. I might even accompanying Erin or Kristen in our upcoming piano recital.

Field trip

YaY! I finally got a picture on here. this is a pic of some of the weapons from the war reinactment we went to. The weapons were my favorite part. it was really amazing some of the things they used in the revolutionary war. I guess this is a kind of morbid intrest considering the disgutingly awful damage these weapons did....but I like 'em anyway.
the picture above is lee throwing a tommyhawk a log targets. the man explained that generally wouldn't throw it....then what you have to fight with? but he let us practice. the key is to throw it kind of like you're throwing a baseball...and not to try to flip it. it'll rotate all by itself. I was kinda pathetic but I think some of the little ones got it on thier first try.
