In Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring

It's less than 2 weeks until Nationals!!! As part of studying (and also for fun), I illustrated Philippians verse-by-verse. I will be sharing that with you today, and I hope you will be encouraged by it. Before you continue reading... It's a good idea to go ahead and read the book of Philippians once by clicking on this link: Philippians NKJV If you are a Bible Bee-er, and already know Philippians by heart, just keep on reading.

To all Bible Bee'rs:  Press on toward the goal! Looking forward to seeing you all at Nationals!

Nationals is coming soon! It's already November 4th! The National Bible Bee Competition is less than a month away! Nationals 2017 All of us are very excited. We've been looking forward to this for a whole year! Nationals 2016 It's kind of hard to believe that Nationals is almost here. Time passes so fast! It seems like we just started 2018! Studying... In our home, studying is going pretty well. Of course, there are times when it is hard, but right now we are all having a happy time and lots of fun. We review and perfect our verses and study Philippians and Greek. Now that Nationals is almost here, we have Mock Bible Bee! Mommy is the judge and we are the contestants. We have mock Prelim Orals rounds and mock Semi-final rounds (not yet finals, we'll get to there later). None of the rounds are scored, but they are still really fun and exciting.  I still get a little bit nervous during our practice rounds. :) Anabel - Locals 2017 Practice

Hello, reader! My name is Snowflake the Bunny. You've probably already read about me in Pets Surprise 1 and Pets Surprise 2. I'm going tell you my story  in my own words . Pay attention and listen! I have an exciting story to tell. I was born and grew up in the grassland in China. It was really fun growing up! Then, some people used me for an environmental experiment in the grasslands. One of the people who was doing the experiment liked me a lot! He thought I was sooooooo adorable and took me home to be his pet bunny. Unfortunately, he was a student living at the University dorms. Uh oh! The University's dorms do not allow pets! Too sad! He had to give me away. But he wanted to give me to someone who would take good care of me. So, he gave me to a family with 2 children, ages 4 and 7. The kids liked me a lot and played with me. It was really fun! But then, I had to leave again. The family knew another family with four kids. This family with four ki

We got to see lots of Animals in Israel! We especially got to see lots of adorable cats. There was a time when there were too many mice in Israel. So, they imported lots of cats. The mice population died down. The cats stayed. We visited a family in Migdal. They showed us their pet turtle and let us ride on their horse Dusty. We also got to see many birds in Israel. There were many birds in the Old City of Jerusalem and at the Western Wall. They liked to sit in the cracks of the Old walls. In Tel Aviv, we got to see lots of crabs at the beach. There were gray-speckled crabs and even white crabs! Watch this video to see the crabs walking! We also saw lions in the Old City! It's great that the lions weren't alive... or else we wouldn't be alive. We got to see a bear, too! And Llamas and Camels! I hope you had a great time reading!

We spent a few days of our time in Israel in Tel Aviv.  Tel Aviv is near the Ancient City of Joppa. I'm sure you all know where that is! Joppa is a port. That is where Jonah fled from to Ninevah! We rode the bus from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv. This is Freckles on the bus: Tel Aviv is by the Mediterranean Sea. It is very warm and humid. The view at the port is beautiful! We even got to see a boat! We also got to see an adorable cat. On our last night in Tel Aviv, Theodore made a tower out of playing cards! He also cooked delicious beef (a big treat because meat in Israel is expensive!) for us for dinner! After that, we went to the beach. At night, Tel Aviv is a shining city. The moon was also very beautiful that night. We also got to see lots of crabs! We also saw a bicycle at the beach! Hinny got to ride on it! Freckles took a picture by the beach: We had a great time in Tel Aviv! Read more about our trip to I
