Elephants

My nephew was learning about elephants in school this week. He is 10 years old. For one of his assignments, he had to answer the question..."Where do elephants live?" His answer was Asia, Africa and Kenya. He insisted on listing Kenya because he has seen them on my safari. Then he proceeded to tell his teacher that she was wrong, Kenya is NOT part of Africa, because his Aunt had been there and had showed him the pictures of the elephants. So cute!!

World Record Holders

Emily Mickelson and I officially hold the world record for the most smoothies. Last night we had 7 smoothie makers lined up in the kitchen at the church and we made smoothies for 120+ people. I think that's pretty impressive.

P.S. I believe that I am also part of the team that holds the record for the most people on an inner tube, floating in a swimming pool...how many was that??? I keep thinking somewhere in the low 20's and then I think...Is that even possible? But as a true McKnight, I think we will call it 22 people. Erin - Didn't you document with pictures? I only want to see them if it proves me right that we had 22 people. ;0)

My Pet Giraffe

Tonight I was sitting here talking to my 10 year old neice Brandy. She asked me what kind of pet I liked. I told her that I don't really like any pets. She then asked what kind of animals I liked. I told her I like giraffes and elephants. She told me that maybe I could get a pet giraffe. To which statement I asked where would I put a pet giraffe...her reply was truly unique. She thought for a moment and said, "well, if you had a really tall chimney...". I thought my sister Sally and I were going to die lauging! Talk about funny.
