Summer Time

In May I went to help my father move the last of his and my moms belongings out west to their new home. GP and JP took WP and I to meet up with my father in Tallahassee. We stopped off I-10 in Florida to take pictures with the beautiful flowers. Dad, WP and I made it to Jay, FL. These tractor signs are everywhere. The adventure began at my sister's house where Mocking birds had made nest everywhere. I took pictures of the nest that I could find. KP moment... I accedently took a picture as I tripped because I was looking for nest up in the trees. Here is a picture of the baby mocking birds. Here is the bush that has the nest that houses the baby mocking birds in it. One of the parents is sitting ontop of the bush. And every story has a Ending. This is how the End of the baby Mocking Birds began. I walked out side one morning and heard birds screaming as only birds can. I walked around the side of the house and saw the mommy and daddy mocking bird dive bombing their nest. I was instintly confused and upset. I had grown attached to this little bird family. I thought that maybe the parent birds were killing their young because I had gotten too close to take a picture. And then I saw the sun sparkle off the skin of a snake in the bush. It was the discovery channel right infront of me! I ran inside and yelled for my dad. He ran out and grabbed the snake out of the nest. There was one baby mocking bird left. The next day the last chick was gone. We were in Pensacola one day. So while I was there I went and said my good-byes to the beach I love so dear. I didn't take any road trip pictures until we got to Texas. Papa and WP walking back to the truck. We stopped in Roswell, NM. There are aliens everywhere in that town. When I went into the Walmart, there was space music playing through the entire store. We stopped to get fuel and spotted this huge engine. California This was a tornado outside of Bishop, CA. When I finally found my camera the funnel cloud was disappearing. We stopped in Reno, NV so I could see my bestfriend Christy!!! It was so awesome to see her and her pregnant self. After she came by to pick me up we went to go pick up her mom from the casino. This was my first time in a casino and it was pretty smokey. We finally made it to Washington! I had forgotten my memory disk for my camera at home. So I used the one from my cell phone. Yeah...it doesn't have as much room for me to take pictures of everything. But the trip was fun!!!
