HURRAY! HURRAY!! THE RAIN HAS STOPPED TODAY, THE SUN IS SHINNING AND THE TEMPERATURE IS PERFECT TO GO AND PLAY OUTSIDE WITH ZAK. SINCE ALL WE HAVE AT OUR HOUSE FOR NOW IS DIRT, WE OCCASIONALLY COME TO MY MOM AND DADS SO ZAK CAN SWING ON THE SWING, AND JUMP ON THE TRAMP, EAT GOOSSBERRIES, AND HAVE GRASS TO THROW HIS SHOES OFF AND RUN.

TODAY I TOOK ZAKERY TO THE DITCH THAT I GREW UP SWIMMING IN WITH ALL THE NEIGHBOR KIDS. HE THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY NEAT, IT HAD A BRIDGE AND EVERYTHING. THOUGH LOOKING AT IT NOW I CANT BELIEVE MY MOM LET US SWIM IN IT. WOULD I LET ZAK...... NOT SURE I COULD. BUT I HAVE TOLD MYSELF MANY TIMES THAT I WOULD NOT BE THAT KIND OF MOM, AND NOT LET MY KIDS DO THE SAME THINGS I DID GROWING UP, JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS NASTY OR I THINK IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO DANGEROUS...... I SURVIVED RIGHT!!!

ALSO ALONG THE DITCH THERE IS A WEED CALLED SNAKE GRASS. WELL WITH THIS SNAKE GRASS YOU CAN MAKE A WISTLE, SO I TAUGHT ZAK TODAY, I GOT THE BIGGEST GRIN. OF COURSE, ITS A LITTLE HARD TO MAKE THE WISTLE WORK HE WAS UNABLE TO DO IT, BUT PUTTING IT IN HIS MOUTH HE DOES HIS OWN LITTLE WISTLE. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. WE CAME IN GRANDMA'S HOUSE FOR A BIT TO REST AND WE KEPT HEARING A TAP ON THE WINDOW. HE PRETTY YELLOW BIRD KEPT TRYING TO FLY INTO THE WINDOW. ZAK HAD A KICK OUT OF THAT AND SAT AND WATCHED IT AWHILE. THE AMAZING PART IS THAT THE WINDOW IS PRETTY CLEAN!!!!....... HA HA HA SORRY MOM.

BUT WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY TO GET OUT AND BE UPLIFTED WITH THIS NICE WARM WEAHTER.
