Easter

A few holiday photos....

Easter Egg dyeing

Fresh out of the oven Easter rolls

Sorting eggs after the hunt

Ben got more eggs than me!

And some family pics.

Everglades

The narrated video of pictures is on YouTube, but sometimes it's nice to look at a picture for more than 2 seconds, so here are a few:

Purple Gallinule

Barred Owl

Vulture Boys

The closest we got to a Florida Panther

Baby Alligator!

Playing at Delray Beach

Not so baby alligators

What have we been doing since November?

Well, you know, things.

Like posing with Daddy.

Playing in the leaves with our friends.

Rolling out pie crust for Thanksgiving pie.

Learning to play Scrabble.

Eating Thanksgiving dinner.

Decorating the Christmas tree.

Making cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning.

Reading with cousin Lucy in our PJs.

Playing Christmas-present-games with cousins.

Getting awesome new T-shirts.

Snuggling with Aunt Karen.

Picnicking in January!

Marshy Point State Park & Such

An afternoon at Marshy Point was cloudier and chillier than predicted, but still fun. The first pic is pre-departure, but features A&B looking unusually twinny:

Then, various marshy things. Alex and Ben decided the marsh grasses were different instruments, and spent the rest of the afternoon making various instrument-noises as they tromped down the trails and boardwalks.

Sawmill Branch Trail

Last weekend our walk in the woods took us to our friendly neighborhood state park, as usual, and featured wriggling worms, wet feet, a big rock to climb, and a garter snake. This time we had Grandma and Grandpa Yoder along, which means more fun AND better photos.

Classic, or Cliched, Fall Adventures

Picking apples and jumping in leaves... some delights of fall (especially when the apples turn into pies).

Alex and Ben Had A Birthday...

Admittedly, this was some weeks ago now. They were very busy being six. But as you can see, it featured balloons, presents, cake with friends-- the usual birthday suspects, really. The September birthday party for their kindergarten class was, possibly coincidentally, on their birthday, so they got birthday crowns, too. And a special birthday present: zebra finches! Their names are Finch and Olivia.





More to come soon on fall-themed adventures.
