We went to Gettysburg today. We walked around the battlefield, looking at statues of people and cannons that they used in the Civil War. I took pictures of a lot of stuff there. There was one large memorial site, it had the names of soldiers who died. It had a statue of Abraham Lincoln!!! :) He gave his Gettysburg address near there. We went up in the big memorial and looked at everything from above.

So we are off on an adventure. We left Friday morning and picked up Sydney and Anthony from church camp and headed out.

Camping!

29 Jul 2009 in Camping Last modified at: 2026-03-05

So we are in the midst of planning a camping trip with some friends. Sydney and I have been working on a list of stuff to take camping. (It should count towards a badge that Sydney is working on for Girl Scouts). Given how it’s always interesting watching how these lists can grow over time and that we also needed a quick way to share this list with the friends with whom we are planning on camping; I thought I would post the list up here, and people can use the comments section to make additions / suggestions as necessary.

Update Feb 3, 2015: Max’s Place closed recently. Bummer. I guess I’ll need to find a new favorite pizza place

So the first summer family writing challenge is inspired by our new recent favorite TV show: Heros. We have been watching it on Netflix, and the kids seem to dig it. I like it because it is fairly clean entertainment. In any case, on to the question:

Which superpower would you most like to have– invisibility, super strength, or the ability to fly? Describe what kinds of things you would do with your powers.
