Tanner was out picking dandelions for me and the neighbors the other day. He hand delivered the "flowers" to Dick and Nancy's house. The next day Dick and Nancy sent a book on flowers for Tanner (along with the news paper) and of course they couldn't leave out Kara and Kendra so they each got a book as well. Tanner was so interested in this book.
Barry made the comment that he is going to be our biologist and I wouldn't be surprised if he is one when he grows up. He has been know to stand up for endangered animals...after finding out that the manatee in Florida get hurt from boat propellers he was out raged and wouldn't even think about getting in a boat (except in Uncle Brett's for fishing), and he is a conservationist at heart...telling Grandma and Grandpa Belcher not to build a log cabin because they would have to cut trees down and then we won't have enough oxygen to breathe. We can now add botanist to that list now, he can't wait for all the flowers to bloom this summer.
Barry actually remembered that during his ISU days Tanner went out with him collecting flowers for his botany class. I was really busy that semester and Barry and Tan got to hang out a lot. Barry would load up Tanner in his back pack and take him with on hikes looking for his flower collection.
