Guy Fieri visits our garden!!!!

the cooking club with Guy!

 I just couldn’t wait to share this with you guys! So today was just a normal Thursday afternoon and I was in Mrs. Bacons cooking club, Cooking with Bacon, as I normally do and guess who walks in behind Mr. Johnson. Guy Fieri. As in the Guy Fieri. You know, the one on the Food Network? The man that won season two The Next Food Network Star, and is on Guy’s Big Bite, Ultimate Recipe Showdown, and Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives? Yup, that one. Anyway he chopped up an onion. And that’s not the best part. Guess why Mr. Johnson is the bestest principal ever… Because I said so! But that’s not all. Mr. Johnson took him to the garden and Guy Fieri (as in the Guy Fieri!) liked it and gave me a high-five. He thought that it was a great idea and was awesome and that I was making a difference. He said that. Guy Fieri did. Why, yes, I am grinning at the screen like a stupid five year-old, who just got a pony, right now. Well that’s a wrap!  PS I'll post more pictures later!!!

Here are the rest of the photos....



okay, so I had to do this one twice!!
