Vacation, Some plants, More bugs, and some really cute ones of Liberty

I have finally got the dates settled on my vacation. I will going going up to MN the 28th and staying until after my birthday. Eric is staying home so I'm bringing my friend Cara with me (and Liberty of course). We are going to meet my mom up at my grandma's for the weekend and then follow my mom home for the rest of the trip. It should be a lot of fun. Cara hasn't had a real vacation or left the state in years. Plus I need to show her what a real lake looks like :) This will be the first birthday I've had with my family in a long time...I think probably five years or so. Wow, I'm old :)
I'm looking forward to spending time with my siblings. Also I'm excited that I will get to see Jacob before he goes off to basic training. In case I forgot to mention it, He joined the Marines! I think it is awesome. He didn't really wanna do anything so I'm hoping this will be a great experience for him and give him some direction.

Ok, onto the pictures. The cute ones of Liberty are at the end so you have to look at the bugs to get to them :)

These are the pears that are growing in my neighbors yard. They are maybe the size of my palm. So still very small. I think by the end of the summer they will be nice and big. Also, since nobody lives there, nobody will mind if I pick a couple for myself :) This plant is growing in the back of my Garden. I know I have seen it in the back of the barn back home but I can't remember what it is called. Something cotton...or milk...or something like that...
This is Beau's new dog house. It is the sleeper from an old semi-truck. Are we redneck or what? :) Ok, so I was informed that these are NOT butterflies, just moths. But when they open up, they are so pretty and orange. They look like monarchs. I had to take more pictures.These two are also moths but they aren't the pretty orange kind. The first one is blurry because I caught him flying right passed my foot. The second was sitting on some grass. These pictures were hard to get because these two little guys are tiny... maybe only half an inch big.This is a lady bug! :) These two are just some cute ones of Liberty out at the farm. I edited them myself. I think they turned out pretty good. They look a lot cooler when they aren't shrunk down. I can e-mail you the bigger version. Just let me know if you want it.I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I feel so much better today then I have in a long while. I'm looking forward to going out and doing something...Anything. I'm especially looking forward to going to church this weekend. I've been too sick to go for almost a month now. And you know, if I'm getting out more, you will have a lot more pictures to look forward to. I'll try not to take too many more bugs :)
