It was a hot, rowdy, fun, long Memorial Day weekend with cousins Lucy and Eric, sweetened by knowing they'll soon be moving nearby. We kicked things off with sprinkler fun, reading on the couch and of course, the treehouse (with some friends):

 Then jumping in a friend's pool:

 Sidewalk chalk fish by Eric and his Aunt Sarah:

 Then today we went splashing in a creek at Patapsco State Park, where all the kids got soaked and we spotted no fewer than five species of snake*, one of which Eric caught.

And finally, dress up. Awesome weekend!

*Ring-necked snake, Northern Water snake and Eastern garter snake, top to bottom. Queensnake and Ribbon snake not shown.
