Jack's first feild trip

Mum has been trying to get Dad to go places on Sunday afternoons. Well, yesterday, it was a success: We went to The Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve. It was really fun but my feet started to hurt about half-way through the walk. Jack was well behaved, he was awesome, although he did bark at a group that had a little boy in it, the kid said, "Stay back dog!"
Jack saw many critters, mostly birds, but he saw a squirrel, too.
Jack did good on the ride to and from the park. Oh yeah, Jack did try to jump into the swamp, but dad caught him just in time (of course Jack had a leash on, it was in the rules).
It was really fun. I hope to go to the beach next week!

Baby Snapping Turtle

We're not far from a creek so we keep finding creek critters.
Here's a pic of a baby snapping turtle Jack found by our brush pile. Jack was foaming at the mouth because it was so nasty.
Besides from trying to eat turtles, Jack has tried to eat toads before too. He would bite it and then shake his head in disgust.

The adventures of Jack and Lisa

Chapter One

There was a little girl, her name was Lisa Jones. She was a tall 12 year old, with chin-length light brown hair, and hazel eyes.

Lisa had four brothers and two sisters and a nephew. K.C. was the oldest, he was 29 years old. He had dark brown hair, so dark it looked as though it was black. Jared who just turned 24, he was the next oldest, he had light brown hair with a neat, trimmed, beard. Jared's wife, Melissa, she was 23; she had chin-length thick, brown hair. Then there was Zechariah and Eli, they were also tall, 12 year olds with brown hair and hazel eyes. They were twins. Also, there was Gordon, he was only 1 years old, with thick short blond hair.

Lisa had a sister too, her name was Kimberly. Kim was 10, with reddish-brown hair, and blue eyes. Kim liked to ask questions sometimes.

Her family lived on a family farm, it had a big house and a barn in which they kept goats, chickens, and a Siamese Cat named Killer . Behind the farm was a gigantic forest.

One summer morning Zac, Eli, Lisa, and Kim were walking in the woods They heard some rustling and whining in the bushes.

"What's That?" asked Kim.

"I'm not quite sure." said Zac spoke in a low, quiet tone.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's find out. For all we know it could be an animal." said Eli boldly.

"OK. But I hope it's a tame animal." said Lisa.

Sure enough, it was an animal, but not what the kids expected. It was a puppy, all tied up in the bushes.

"Should we help it?" asked Kim.

"'Should we help it?'Of course we should help it! It's all tangled up!" Eli said with a raised voice.

"No, it's not tangled up, it's tied up. Like someone left it here to die." Noted Lisa.

"How do you know?" Asked Kim.

"Well," Lisa started. "It's tied up, I think there's some scratches in it's face, and there's no food, or water bowls here."

"Wow, you sound a bit like Hermione." Said Eli, trying not to laugh. They loved to read the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, and pretended to be the characters sometimes.

"Honestly, why do you have to get off the subject, Eli?" Said Lisa in her English accent.

"OK, back onto subject, then." Said Zac. "I think we need to get Dad because he'll know what to do. I mean,-"

"Yeah, yeah, we know that story. We went outside, found a cat in out backyard, and kept it." Lisa rushed. "Now let's get Dad."

Ten minutes later everyone came leading Dad. Kim was leading by holding his hand.

"Right here, Dad. It's all tied up." Then Eli showed Dad where the puppy was tied up.
