the Pre-K myth

Every parent should read this. http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB121936615766562189.html
Georgia's 'Bright from the Start' early childhood development & regulatory branch had announced in their earliest publications that their goal was, "School by Two". They are pushing compulsory education for all children two & up. Pretty soon the government is just going to take them from the delivery room and as long as its free, Parents will allow it.
How cheaply we do sell the souls of our children. Read Deuteronomy 6 Dad & Mom - it's your job not your Uncle Sam's.
In the mean time, beaurocracies like 'Blight from the Start' (pun intended) will gladly wage war for the soul of your children and our nation.

A Bicycle Built for Three?

This was more difficult than I had imagined. The boys seemed to like it. Samuel called it a 'blow ride' because of the wind blowing in his face as he leaned his head over to the side. I don't think Benjamin was overly impressed one way or the other. The 'Baby Backpack' is a great invention though & really saved our backs more than once during our trip.

fauna

We beheld some amazing animals on our journey across the west. The only thing we saw but weren't able to photograph were the antelope. The only thing that would have made these better is if I were viewing them through the cross hairs of my scope. You hunters will understand. The rest of you...get over it - its all about dominion.

Vacation Flora

I enjoyed snapping some pics of the great flora & fauna that we experienced up close. The beauty & diversity of God's creation never ceases to amaze me. Some of the alpine flowers have a six foot root system with only a six to eight week growing season. "Bloom where you're planted" takes on a whole new meaning when you consider that. Needless to say, I did enjoy experiencing the different & new kinds of plants that were such a visual treat.

Baby Bike Ride

Ben enjoyed his first ever bike ride in Kansas at Grandpa Adrian's house
