For those of us that just don't have the cash...
May I remind you of one of the greatest inventions in the world...past, present, and future. A little something I like to call, "A Redneck's Frappuccino".

Copy Cat
Did you ever play this game when you were a kid? I remember doing this to my sisters and my older brother. Of course, they would get annoyed with me! But there is something about this game when your 3 year old daughter plays with you. I'll set the scene for you...
I was sitting at the computer, watching a video that my mom forwarded. As I was watching, I was sitting back in the chair with my arms folded. Cami walked up, as she usually does when there is something playing on the computer. She looked at me, then looked at the computer. She looked at me again, and then proceeded to fold her arms just like I was doing. Okay, first of all, I was already watching an emotional video. And now, my daughter is watching in the same way her daddy is watching! For those Dad's out there who have little girls, you know what that did to my heart.
Here is the video that I was watching, I think you will like it. One more thing, as the video was progressing...Cami turns to me and says, "Daddy, is that your American flag?"...That's my girl!!

Now that I've been home for a week...
...I thought I would go ahead and post the last few days of my trip to the East Coast. Sorry this has taken so long. Once I got home last Thursday night, I wanted to do nothing but spend time with my family before I had to go back to work on Monday...I'm sure you understand.
The last few days of our trip was great, of course. As you will see, we headed into Philadelphia and then on to New York City. Philadelphia is a great experience. To view the city as it must have been when it served as our provincial capitol. We were able to take a walking tour of the historic district. Our guide gave us a tremendous perspective of life in the city, especially during the Revolution. I was able to take some time and go inside of "Independence Hall" and be in the room where our founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution...WOW!! The chair that George Washington sat in is still in the room!
We then moved on to New York City. Now this is where I shoot myself in the foot. On the day that we go to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, The Empire State Building, and so much more, I FORGOT THE BATTERY TO MY CAMERA!!! I may have just jumped into the harbor on that 30 degree day. Also, I won't mention that I didn't even get to go to Federal Hall (where George Washington was sworn in as the first president), the Stock Exchange, Ground Zero, and Christ Church. Needless to say, New York City was not the highlight of my trip. But I was able to capture a few pictures on the last night and day we were in town to share with you.
All in all, this was a fantastic trip, and I would recommend it to anyone! In fact, if you have the time, money, and energy to spend with 8th, 11th, and 12th graders, we will be going again, February 17-27, 2009! Come and join us!!
