Angry Birds Come To Life

There's this new game that we all play on our phones, Angry Birds. Not only do we play that game, but I'm a victim of Angry Birds. On my run in the morning black birds chirp at me and follow me.

This weekend the girls caught a bird. He wasn't angry, but hurt. They took this bird for a walk in the wagon, carried it, and fed it. They named him Camo. He finally felt better and flew off. Although today he came back 'hurt' again. Can a bird pretend to be hurt? It's so cute see Ashley and Natalie caring for a hurt bird, Angry Bird or not.

Minnesota Trip

We started out our summer vacation by heading to Minnesota to see G-ma & G-pa Billings. Gavin is addicted to fishing. He caught at least a dozen fish. He was getting sick of throwing back, so he kept the smallest fish he caught. He named him Fred and put him in a ziplock bag. The fish died 2 days later, so Gavin put him in the garden to help the veggies grow.

We went to Duluth to do some deep sea fishing, but it was too windy:( So we took the kids to Fun Zone. It was also Ashley's 11th birthday. She's been wanting Oxy Clean for a long time. So guess what she got?!

Dave & I went 4-wheeling with my brother Justin. So much fun! On our way back to the cabin we got pulled over for driving on the road. I didn't know it was against the law in Minnesota. We had to be with him when he told his wife. Love you Justin!

Brad Merrill was up for a few days, so we went to the Sand Dunes and went for a ride on his sand rail. The girls loved it! Gavin, well not so much. I almost lost my cookies hitting a couple jumps. Thanks Brad!

My Pop Challenge Doing So Far For DARE!!!

I am doing a pop challenge for DARE and it is kind of hard. Well, first of all, my parents have broken it on the first day, because on the first day a friend asked us over for root beer floats. I just took ice cream and my parents had root beer floats. So now I call my parents, sometimes, Mr.and Mrs. Who can't finish the pop challenge. Well, just for the record, the pop challenge doesn't end until May 5. I am so mad at my brother and sister because the shove pop in my face and say, "Hey, Ashley do you want some?" I will just ignore them and say,"Sorry what did you say?", then walk away from them.

Love,

Ashley
