Our trip to Africa...

Trumpeter, Chickadee and me are going on an adventure. We made it up together. Mommy posted it on her blog, so I'll just copy it here.

"We started in Canada and went to Florida by driving a buggy. It was pulled by a horse. She was too old for us to ride on her back and didn't like us on her back anyway. So, we were in the buggy and she pulled us. She's a grey horse. We were gonna take a ship from Florida to Africa, but a flood washed us into the ocean. It took us a year to get to Antarctica. The buggie sunk, but it had a basement. The basement was sort of like a submarine, so we stayed there. It had candy, icecream, and waffles and that's what helped us survive. There were 800 waffles and seventy hundred pieces of candy. Thirty hundred bags of icecream, two containers in each bag. We finally floated to Antarctica and then the horse pulled us as she swam to Madagascar. Now we are on our way to Africa. We are going to Africa because we need to take the icecream there. It has now taken us almost two years to get there. We are taking the icecream to all the people of Congo. We will just ride through the towns and toss icecream, just like they do with candy at parades. Then we'll go to Ethiopia and do the same thing with all the candy. We mostly ate the waffles on our trip, so we could have the icecream and candy for the people of Africa. We liked traveling this way, so we'll go home the same way probably. Or we might just get on a ship and sail home."

Breakfast and other stuff...

Guess what! I am now the family chef for breakfast. I am so excited. I've been having lots of fun making pancakes and sausage, strawberry shortcake, eggs and all sorts of stuff. My favorite breakfast to make is pancakes. My favorite breakfast to eat is strawberry shortcake. The pancakes have 1/3 of a cup of sugar in them. The strawberry shortcakes only have 1 tablespoon. Did you know that 24 times three is 72 and that 24 times 4 is 96? We have lots of baby birds in our yard. We have seen chickadees, robins, mourning dove and some other fledgling that I haven't figured out yet.

Here is a picture of a chickadee fledgling
