The Super Adventures of Ben and Noah

We are Back!

Ben — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:47:28 GMT

Hello everybody. Noah, Abi and I are back to blogging. It took my Mom and Dad a long time to figure out how to fix everything. GoDaddy has changed a lot of things since the last time I blogged. I lost 2 more teeth and Noah has lost 2 teeth. It snowed a whole bunch today and it is 2008. Today is my uncle Mark's birthday. Happy New Year to everyone.

Love Ben

This is Abi and Daddy in our driveway this morning. We had so much fun playing in the snow

Remembering Mr. Marino Today

Ben — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 07:01:19 GMT

I never met Mr. Marino but I know that he was a really cool guy who liked a lot of the same things I do. He liked being outside and playing in the woods and climbing trees and his daughter told us he even liked ice cream too. He died on September 11th in the bombing of the World Trade Centers. Every year we remember him by decorating Mr. Marino's Clubhouse and writing about him so other people can remember him too. We are praying for his family today.

The end.

Note From Mom About the Blog

Ben — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 10:03:50 GMT

**** Hello to all still reading Ben and Noah's Blog*****

We are truly grateful for all the wonderful emails wondering where the kids are and what they have been up to. We are going to put up a photo montage of all the wonderful things they have been doing over the last month. This blog had been hit by some hackers......each and every entry, comment and picture had messages attached to them and sent to our email account each and everyday for the past 3 weeks.....thousands of emails soliciting very questionable stuff has been jamming our inbox and filling it to capacity daily. It has taken us nearly a month to sort it all out and close all those "doors" the bad guys were coming in through. I apologize for not posting sooner. The kids have so much to share with you.

The kids spent a great deal of time preparing Mr. Marino's Clubhouse for the September 11th Anniversary. The treefort is freshly painted and in tip top condition. For those unfamiliar with Mr. Marino, please visit the posts from last year here and here.

We did not want some mean spirited hackers to taint this special day. Please keep Mr. Marino and his family in your thoughts and prayers today.

Our highest regards,

Sarah and Tim (Ben, Noah, and Abigael's Mom and Dad)

Stampaway Stamp Convention

Ben — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:36:37 GMT

I went with my Mom to the Stamp Convention on Saturday. A Stamp convention is where a bunch of people who make rubber stamps and inks get in one spot to sell their stuff. I saw Ms. Judi and Ms. Mary Jo and Ms. Beckah and Ms. Magdalena there. I liked watching Ms. Beckah make stuff from Metal.

Daddy on the Bridge

Abigael — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:35:56 GMT

My Dad took me across the bridge that moved a lot. It was scary.

Fossils and My Boat

Noah — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:35:19 GMT

I liked seeing Noah's Ark and the fossils the best. I love fossils and looking for them. You can find really cool things in rocks.

The end

This is what Noah's Ark looked like. It was a HUGE boat.

This is how Noah built the Ark. I learned about the tools he used and how big it was.

This was a video we watched about how the flood covered the whole world.

I loved the fossils the best

This is a fish who was eating another fish when he got buried

This is a really cool cameleon. He turns different colors.

Creation Museum

Ben — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:34:09 GMT

I went to the Creation Museum in Kentucky. I learned about the global flood and how fossils are made. It is really cool to see how the stuff in the Bible happened. I want to go back again soon.

The end

This is the Front Gate

This a really cool Dinosaur

This is the Snake in the Garden of Eden

This is a Triceratops

This is a stone carving of St. George killing the Dragon

Giant Jesus

Noah — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:33:28 GMT

I saw a HUGE statue of Jesus on the way to Cincinnati. It was really cool.

The end

*** Note from Mom*** This is truly an amazing work of art. It is off of I-75 South going into Cincinnati between exits 30 and 29. We have seen this at night as well and each and every time, it is just amazing. From a distance, it looks as if these two giant arms are reaching out from the ground. Our picture does not do it justice.

Road Trip

Ben — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:29:41 GMT

We went through 4 states today. We left Michigan and went through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. I like going on trips with my Mom and Dad.

The end

Endeavour

Ben — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:29:05 GMT

The space shuttle Endeavour went up into space today. My Dad and Mom said it was a special thing because the last time a teacher went into space, the space shuttle Challenger blew up. My Mom and Dad were in Middle School when that happened and they were really sad. I really want to go up into space. I am studying really hard and some day I am going to go to space camp like my Dad did. We are praying for the astronauts and their families.

The end

I do not like bridges

Abigael — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:28:17 GMT

I do not like the moving bridge. Ben made me go on it. I am mad at Ben.

The end

Too Hot

Noah — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:27:57 GMT

It is really hot. I played at playland and had a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. It was awesome.

The end

Exploring Playland

Ben — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:27:35 GMT

I went to a new playland today. This one was really cool because it had a net bridge. Mom let us have a special treat too. We got to have ice cream cones after we got done playing. It was fun.

The end

I Like The Cat

Abigael — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:26:51 GMT

My favorite is the cat stamp.

The end

Rubber Stamping

Noah — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:26:29 GMT

I stamped lots of circles in different colors for Ms. Judi. She liked my card. Ms. Judi is really nice. She stamps on a show called Craft TV Weekly.

The end

New Friends

Ben — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:25:53 GMT

I met some really cool new friends at ScrapTales. ScrapTales is a store my Mom teaches at. Ms. Mary Jo and Ms. Judi and Mr. Rob were there. We got a bunch of new stickers and some stamps. We sat outside and made cards for Ms. Mary Jo and Ms. Judi. It was fun.

The end

Blue Heron

Noah — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:24:46 GMT

I saw a blue heron in my neighbor's pond. It was really big. I tried to get closer to take a better picture and he flew away.

The end

Rabbit Hole

Ben — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:24:17 GMT

Noah and I found a hole by Mr. Marino's Tree Fort that had 4 baby bunnies in it. My Mom told us to leave it alone so the Mommy Rabbit could come back to take care of the babies. They were so small. It is hard to see the rabbits because it looks like a pile of grass. The mother rabbit comes by a few times a day to feed the babies but she goes away so other animals do not know they are there hiding.

The end

Frog for Ben

Abigael — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:23:06 GMT

I caught a frog for Ben too. You cannot wrap up a frog though.

The end

No Fair

Noah — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 20:22:34 GMT

Ben is 7 years old and he gets to do everything. He says that I am only 5 and can't do the stuff he does. I can. I can ride a two wheeler and I can run fast and I am really strong. Ben is a dork. I am happy he shared his Volcano with me. I found a Bullfrog for his birthday.
