Our week with the little red bird

Since we have had nothing but rain or extreme heat the little red bird hasn't got to see much of our town but he has had fun just hanging out!

Little friend hanging out

Today was a hanging out at home kinda day for us. Little red bird just liked watching the kids work and even snuggled with our cat Little Bit. We tried to introduce him to our rats but they kept trying to take him away!

Our new friend for Texas

A little red bird has flown in all the way from Texas to visit us!

Goodbye Crash and Joshua

Well as with all good things.... Our visit is over and the travelers are on their way home. I so hope the little boys recieving these love them as much as we loved putting them together.

Just to give a little idea of things we include to send back since everyone keeps asking me that.. We made a nature book of our area, we tried to get a printed something of everywhere we went and some pics. The kids made rubbings of stones and tress as well, brochures about popular places whether we went or not, postcards and maybe a project to do or a candy from our state.

We had fun with our travelers and I have enjoyed getting to know the moms as well. It has been a great expierence and the kids all wanna know when they are getting to go somewhere else??

Building an airplane with our friends

Crash and Joshua got to go to Lowes today to build an airplane. They seemed to have fun and I know my kids have really enjoyed taking them places. They will be missed when they go home.

Our Nature Day With The Travelers

 Nature Walk!!! Joshua loved to climb the trees, though it was a bit hard with that surf board. We had fun, at Falling Creek Park today. We took alot more pictures but no way was I posting them all up here lol. I will put them in journals though. We made bark rubbings, had a picnic and visited the Rivers cemetary. Those were early Florida settlers of this area.

This area is also on the travels of Desoto in his search for gold and glory so long ago.

 Crash enjoyed some shade on a very hot day.

While you cannot see them very well the travelers are standing in front of a general store from the 1890's. Nature, history and fun all in one park day.

Crash was helpin out at Build and Grow

He was such a helper at Build and Grow!!

Looks like Crash got stuck in the sand lol

Well at Crashs outing to the beach poor lil guy got stuck in the sand!!

Our First Visiting Traveler From TEXAS!!!

We have never seen a traveler that was a car before so that was awesome!!! We are looking forward to taking (driving) him around town lol.

Damian the Travelin Boy has shipped out!

Damian is very excited to send his traveler to Texas! That was the first state he ever learned about besides our home and he has always asked to go to Texas, so this will be a wonderful vacation for him!!
