It was a wonderful book!

During the liberty Fest there was a race were you had to run 3.1 miles dressed as the Statue of Liberty.

Planted a garden for the first time this spring. The edibles are growing and we ate our first Golden Swiss Chard leaves - sauteed and then on burgers. Yum! Used the following references to get started:

All new square foot gardening: grow more in less space! by Mel Bartholomew — Reads like an infomercial, but is chock full of great information to get started.

The food lover's garden by Mark Diacono ; photography by Mark Diacono ; recipe photography by Laura Hynd ; recipe development by Debora Robertson — Made my mouth water.

This earned me the "Go Wild" badge because while I was at Maybury I saw many different types of wildlife. I saw squirrels, a newborn baby bunny, different types of birds, lots of insects, and two adult deer with antlers!

It was fun

Hoot by Carl Hiaasen

Island trilogy by Gordon Korman

A week in the woods by Andrew Clements
