Johnson's Farm Field Trip!!!




My son's class went on a field trip 2 weeks ago and I got the priveledge of driving...it was way up in Felton, near Santa Cruz, about 40 minutes from our house,,,this is an amazingly beautiful farm set in this pristine valley up in Felton....wow to be able to live on land like this would be a dream...they had beautiful horses, 2 super friendly dogs that were obviously used to having kids mauling them constantly, baby chicks, long eared rabbits, chickens, goats and more....the kids had a great time , that was what was most important.....

The ButterFlies in the Rain Forest Exhibit!!!











More pics at the Academy!!!


More fun pics I snapped!!!







The Academy of Sciences San Francisco!!!

I went to the New Academy of Sciences today in San Francisco, in the middle of the Golden Gate Park. It was really fun....I remember the academy the way it used to be and it still had a few of those old touches such as the edge railing of the crocodile viewing area, was still in tact.....although they have only one crocodile these days. Also the african section was still a little bit the same,,sort of Nite at the Museum feel still, like in the old days, but updated with modern touches,, and a penguin viewing area at the end of the room that was really fun! King Tut is coming to the De Young in June...gotta see that!!!!! Anyhow here are some pics I took.....will post some more too!!!

Look at What I Found!!!

Look at this cute little girl! Well on my daily walk with my dogs that I take, I came upon this little tiny thing underneath a car at the stop sign, back in December on a very , very cold and nearly icy morning. I thought it was a kitten at 1st,,,but realized it was a puppy when the man got out of his car and told me that it was a puppy under his car. I crawled underneath , couldn't grab a leg or anything, as she was cowering and shaking uncontrollably,, so I went to the other side of the car, lay on my stomach once again, and shoved my arm as far under the car as I could, and grabbed her leg...anyhow long story short,,,,she is now owned by a good friend of mine, who has 3 children that are loving her and have made her part of their family. She has gone to Tahoe with them,, she has walked with my 2 dogs and loves sniffing them and is just now a happy little girl......her name is Lulu Noel (Noel was added by me as her middle name since when we were bringing her to my friends family in the car, the song "The 1st Noel" came on the radio (it was about 5 days before xmas) and we said that has to be part of her name.....I think in all honesty someone dumped this poor little girl in this neighborhood because they knew someone would take her....sad for her,,,,good for her too,, because she is now happy!!!
