Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

3-7-12 The New Planet

by Ben

One day Ted saw a spaceship going to Pluto. He said to himself, “I want to go to a planet when I get big.” So he went and asked the President if he could rent a spaceship. The President said that Ted was too young. But Ted didn’t think so. So he decided to build his own. He got right to work. After a year his spaceship was done. He decided to take his family to Pluto. They all loaded up and took off. Soon they were out in space.

“This is fun,” Ted’s sister said.

Dad and Mom agreed too. Soon they saw a planet. From this planet they could see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They saw the Sun and Earth. They saw all the planets but what planet were they on? They were confused. Ted asked his Dad what planet they were on.

His Dad said, “I don’t know.”

Ted said, “I’m going to give it a name.”

He called it Zoocuna. So he and his family went back to earth. On the way there they stopped at Mars and Mercury and found some gold. They told the President about the planet and they became famous.

The End
