My Vacation

Here are the pictures!!! We went to Whidbey Island, Crescent Lake, Port Townsend, and all sorts of great places. It was lots and lots of fun! I took a lot of pictures so it took me a while to decide which ones to post and then they were not co-opperating with me so I am terribly sorry about the long almost two month wait. They are not really in order either so sorry! Some of the captions and pictures would not go any closer and kept popping apart. :( Sorry it is such a mess!

They will appear sooner than the other ones! Don't worry.

So just leave a comment and let me know if you want me to post them or no.

What do you think?

photo by my sister

It has been a month...

Hey everyone,

•

I just realized that it has been a month since I last posted on here!!! I have been so busy with getting the farm ready for winter and doing school. I'm sorry! :( Since I am now in high school, doing school takes up mostly all of my day so I don't have any time to take any pictures. I know you are all probably going, "Yes, yes she says this every time..." *blah*. I'm sorry! But it is true.

•

Here is a funny picture my sister took of me. I got the hat for my birthday and I was just being really goofy. What a surprise! *wink* On the front there is a horse with sun glasses on and a piece of hay sticking out of its mouth. Its real cute! I also got my hair cut, so I will post a couple pictures of it after it was done.

•TTYL,

Sarah
