So what have we been doing anyway?

Besides unpacking and settling into a new place, we have been really enjoying the great outdoors. And by that, I mean, the yard. HA! I mean can you imagine what my parents' yard must seem like to a 3 or 5 yr old? To them, the yard is noT just big, but infinite. Not just tree-lined, but mysterious. Not just hilly, but full of steep cliffs.

Nick and Stella are outside much of the day. Here are some of their adventures so far...

Nick found a "monster-hand stick."


(Yep, looks pretty much like a monster-hand stick to me!)
And Stella has one now too. Smaller, of course.

Exploring with Sadie Lady.

Climbing a tree!

Playing campout on the screened in porch.

They are coming inside sweaty, filthy, buggy, dirt stained knees and butts of pants. They are eating like crazy! But THAT is exactly what kids should be doing in the summer!!
