This past weekend, Ryan took Friday off and Ty went to his Aunt Sandra's so we could have the day together for my birthday. My birthday was Sunday, but it was a little hard to go and do something then, so we waited till Friday.
_
First, we drove out to this place called Gravity Hill. Actually, it should be called something more like "Gravity Slope or Incline." haha You stop your car at the bottom of the slope and put it into nuetral, and your car rolls UP the hill and gains speed while doing it too! It was pretty neat!
_
Then, we went to the Nature Station and got to walk around and see animals like coyotes, wolves, deer, eagles, hawks, well, just a little bit of everything. It was really neat. They had a possum show while we were there. The man said that possums have pouchs just like Kangaroos and that someone had stopped by at a certain road kill to check in the pouch and see if anything was in it. Low and behold she had a baby in her pouch and the "good samaritan" saved it and it ended up being donated to the Nature Station where we got to watch her eat her lunch.
....
Okay...my question is... WHO in the WORLD was the person who stopped to check out some nasty run-over possum's pouch to see if anything was left. So now the big joke between me and Ryan is that we for sure will stop and check next time when we see a possum as a road-kill.
_
After the Nature Station, Ryan and I drove out to the Elk & Bison Prairie where we saw some Elk VERY close up to the vehicle and got some good snap shots. I added a new picture album on the side below Ty's of those pictures. I'll be adding more of our trip to that album.
_
The last thing we did around Land Between the Lakes is drive out to this neat place called The Home Place. It's a working farm that was built back in the 1800's. That's where the picture of Ryan and I came from. I'll add pictures of that to the album too.
_
Once we finally finished up there, we hurried back and ate an AWESOME birthday supper that Ashley had cooked for him at her and Matt's house. (friends of ours from church) We spend the rest of the evening hanging out with them and having a great time.
_
Oh yes...the next day, I ended up getting home-made ice-cream from Ryan's Papaw Gid! YUM!!!! So I had a great birthday!!!
_
I don't go back to the Dr. till Thursday, so I'll let you know an update then on the baby situation. =) Till then...
8 Say It Here:
IF your willing to check on a ROADKILL possum then your definitely to the title of "HICK"!!
Actually you made me think about doing it. we always find them here.
Oh,That gravity place sounds really FUN!!! I never heard of such a thing! Do you have pics of it?
Did you evr find out what happened to the instant message thing?
******Are you in labour??????*****
I'm going to be on edge until you have this baby....and typing on instant message and not getting a reply is worse at this point in your prgnancy than talking on the phone and having a silence....
Mazie is going to give me a heart attack!!! Mazie,...I'll get you back!
by the way...you look really good

Oh great--now here I sit the next morning, wondering if you ever got back to sleep last night!?!?! :)
Morgan
(P.S
The 'Gravity Hill' sounds just too neat. Wow! I've never heard of something like that! Mom says there's one in Florida too.
And yuck about checking roadkill. lol
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday!!! (And cute picture, by the way. :))
I'm glad you got to have so much fun on your birthday. Ya'lls picture is very sweet. You look awsome! For the record: I WILL NEVER CHECK OUT A POSSUM IN THE ROAD!!! Ewww. Besides, you never know if it might still be alive and those buggers are MEAN! You could get really hurt messin with 'em. Plus, even if there's a baby in there, I hate possums and would not bother "saving" any...(sorry that's kinda mean)
Anyway, thanks for your prayers for Kayle - I'm pretty sure it's not going to be anything more than just changing her diet a little maybe.
I better get busy. I'm actually going to cook pancakes for my kids and husband this morning! Won't they be shocked?? hahaha
Love ya!

Guess what???!! I've solved the mystery of your missing b-day card... it was in my van (along with a few bills) stuck in the visor! Apparently I didn't drop the mail off like I thought I did last week! AAAAhhhgg! Now I have 2 late bills and a late card. Can you believe that?? I discovered it on the way home from church tonight, so I WILL get them dropped tomorrow! I have to - I'm already gonna have at least one late fee.
Anywho...good luck at the dr. tomorrow. Let us know how it goes...and I'll let you know how Kayle's goes...(her eyes checked out very good!)
