Heyy everyone! We went on a GREAT adventure and took a look inside God's marvelous creation!! Going to the Albuquerque bio park was TONS of fun (and a good workout!!).
Our journey consisted of The Chocolate Milk Cow, The Lone Chicken, The Praying Goat, and an adventure in Wonderland! We went to the train station after seeing what one animal in the zoo was like (don't worry, we went back) and headed to the aquarium and Japanese Gardens! The aquarium is my favorite. :) We saw eels, sharks (even a smiling one!), rays, jellyfish (too cool!) and Dory!
Next was the HUGE greenhouse! It was a lil warm in there but cool. The tropical greenhouse proved to be full of plants and flowers that my sisters were more than happy to take pics of. Oh wait! I forgot to mention the adventure in Wonderland! We entered this big castle (and passed a big dragon) and once we entered all the stuff in there made us feel kinda small. The maze kinda scared me because I didn't know how long it went and I hate feeling trapped in those things. lol
On the way to the Japanese Gardens we came across a charming farm! This is where we came across The Praying Goat. He had his foot on the board and had his foot rested on it. :) We saw The Lone Chicken on our way into the barn (we figured out later he had friends). Inside the barn we found a brown calf and proclaimed it The Chocolate Milk Cow.
Finally getting to the Japanese Gardens we were impressed. A pretty big waterfall connecting to a lake was mom's favorite. We took a lot of pics here. :) Coming back to the zoo we saw monkeys grooming each other, a male lion sitting on the rock like he knew he was the king, and a polar bear that was a lil unsure of how to jump off his rock.
Our day was pretty great! Things like this reminds me how great homeschooling really is and how great God really is too. :)

The Childish Antics of a Teenager.
What a great day! The first time in a while I may have gotten sunburned! Hahaha. We went to the park with our home school group and I personally had a blast! I ran without my asthma getting in the way and felt great afterward, I laughed A LOT with my new friend, and ran all over the place (including the river) barefoot!
I surprise myself sometimes (okay, a lot) with my sudden bursts of childish antics. Then again, what fun would life be without them! I loved shouting to my mom with great pride that I actually ran and wasn't tired! Us teenagers aren't like that anymore with our cellphones, T.V., and computers. Sometimes I think about the entertainment for kids in the 1800's, they had to create fun with outdoor creativity and adventures! We have it easy.
It takes so much to excite us. I love it when a little kid suddenly rushes over to a simple thing like a flower and looks at it with that face of innocence. The look of pride when they discover something new. I wish I still looked at God's amazing creation in such a fantastic way!

Attention All Girls!!
Aloha! Hola! Greetings!
Now I will unleash my plan for this blog!
Okay so one day my mom was making lists and typing when she kind of suddenly exclaimed something along the lines of, "You know what? A blog would be fun to do!" I kinda jumped out of my seat. She started planning and brain storming and then BOOM! Tons of ideas for a blog for teens popped up in my mind!
Enough of my story, the reason I wanted to create a blog was first off I thought it would be fun, lol, and two I wanted to let teen girls know that God loves them. So for all those beautiful, amazing teen girls out there I wanna let you know a couple of things (okay more than a couple):
1. As I mentioned not too long ago God loves you!
2. God created you to do AMAZING things!
3. You are unique. No two people are exactly alike so be yourself!
4. You are beautiful without tons of make-up!
This blog is NOT meant to replace your parents! God gave us parents to guide and protect us so don't be afraid to talk to them, they don't bite! (At least most don't)
This blog IS meant to be entertaining, funny and enjoyable! Here is a place to get the 411 on things like great food to fill up with when those cravings come out, the importance of staying pure, and most importantly how much God loves and cares for us!
Well laugh, cry, and/or dance for joy 'cause God is GOOD!
