The Bunny Story

All the bunnies are gone. When we were on our family bike ride, most of the bunnies escaped. The people taking care of them while we were gone thought that they were supposed to be out, so they never put them back in the cage. We have cats and they like fuzzy things that hop. Anyway, when we got home we found that three of them had been killed. (including the two that we were going to keep) We caught the remaining bunnies and recaged them. The next day another one got out and before we could get it, the cat did. So we were down to four fuzz balls. And those ones were already promised to someone. Meaning we couldn't keep any. They went flop eared. So they all look dopey.On Wednesday Samantha and mom took the three rabbits Nicky, Cappuccino, and Buggsy (who was the bunny hopping round in our yard, we caught her) to the auction. They made eight dollars.
Now we are back down to our original two, Mordecai and Naomi.

Here's The Story Morning Glory

Well, we had two hens go broody. They have been sitting for a very long time, on a lot more eggs then fit under their little butts. Under one chicken the count was 16. They share their eggs with each other, switching net boxes and sometimes trying to sit on the same eggs at the same time. Back when we were away at our biannual family bike ride the eggs were collected and put in the frig. Nobody has eaten many eggs at our house for fear of what they may find. This little accident did not discourage the chickens. They simply started over with new eggs. We thought that they would have given up long ago because a egg takes 21 days to hatch, and they have been sitting for maybe twice that long. We did not expected any of the eggs to hatch. And it has only been 17 days since they started over. But yesterday when mom went out to the coop she found this:
His egg must have been hiding. The mother hen is very happy and the other hen is still sitting. We are going to move her into her own cage and see if she'll sit long enough for her eggs to hatch.

Reunion

Today I just realised that I have posted over three hundred times. This post is 304. I always feel so accomplished and that I have done more things than I actually have. I suppose that I will feel the same way when I reach 400. But that is not what this post is about. This is about the family reunion. Which has been going on for forever. Its pretty much the same as it all ways has been. No one know who anyone is and everybody eats too much. Gobs and gobs. This year there were alot of people missing, Grandma counted 30 some. However the hay ride did have hay, which is fairly new. But no one likes to sing anymore. The ride was long this year, I didn't mind. But some did, as little cousin Jarid put it "I don't like this tractor anymore. It doesn't stop at any houses or parking lots or nothing." Grandma was ready to jump off and walk back. It was rather boring until after supper when we got a good game of apples to apples going. There was Matthew, Samantha and I, Emily (I didn't know we had an Emily in the family) Teri, Nicole and her new husband Mark, and Jarid. Jarid is not in our family, I think he might have been the neighbor. But according to my mother he is her new brother. That was about it and we went home.

Kingdom Bound

Kingdom Bound it the best thing in the world! We went (we being Spencer and I, and our friends Tim, Peter, Ben and Kayliegh.) early in the morning so we could spend all day there. Our day started with Relevant Worship. We only heard several of their songs, because they were finishing up when we got there. They weren't bad. The one guy had huge hair and looked like a wookie.
Hearts of Saints- they were rather good. The singer was completely crazy, he was all over the stage with flailing motions. I was amazed that he could sing while dancing like that. However they were the happiest band I have ever seen. The base player was awesome.

Then we walked around the park to try and find the other stages. So basically we walked in circles and got lost. Then we found a map.

There are alot of weird people in the world. Like the two guys in monkey costumes.Fireflight- is amazing. I really can't say anything more, other than they are amazing and I love them.

They (they being someone I don't know) had set up a mini skate/bike park thing and were doing a demonstration of whatever it is that they do. Which really wasn't a whole lot. But there was this guy on a bike doing very cool tricks.

Skillet- has changed my life. And yes they did name their band after a frying pan, it was the '90s.This was by far the best concert I have ever been to. They set things on fire, And blow stuff up. Because I am me we were able to get seats so close to the stage that when the pillars of flame shot up we could feel a wave of heat sweep over us. You could tell that it was even hotter on stage, you could see the sweat running down the guys guitars. Spencer thought that it was raining. As John Cooper( the singer) said " All I want to do is blow stuff up and set things on fire for Jesus, is there anything wrong with that?" Well John, no there is nothing wrong with that. After the first song Pete leaned over to Spencer and said that just that song was worth every penny spent. At a place like this it is very easy to spend pennies. There is something amazing about screaming as loud as you can without being able to hear yourself. Spencer lost his voice. And we all lost our hearing for awhile. It was a very good day.
