Waterfall Glen

We went hiking last Saturday at Waterfall Glen up near Jim's work. We spent a little while by the waterfall and had a snack, then all of us spent a lot of time throwing rocks in the creek. We skipped rocks, tossed rocks and made "rock songs" by throwing in several in different sequences. Josie, of course, liked finding sticks.

Easter Fun

We spent a nice Easter up at Auntie Jeannie's this year. The kids had fun and spent a lot of time outside playing and later, hunting for eggs. The lamb cake--with Gram's recipes--turned out well and disappeared quickly!

Hiking at Swallow Cliff

A few weeks ago the weather was warmer and we took a ride over to Swallow Cliff for a hike. Jimmy and Josie had fun climbing the steps up the cliff, and wandering the paths.

Of course, they each have their own way of doing things. Note who's on the wrong side of the "Closed" sign here, for instance.

C'mon Bug!

Josie saw a bug on the stairs the other day, and ran screaming to find me. We later went looking for it, and I filmed the hunt because it was so cute. In the vid Josie first waves her stick and yells, "C'mon, bug!" a few times. Then she wants to know if I'm going to take a picture of her bug, or a picture of her and her stick. You can always count on Jos to come up with something to do on an otherwise boring day. Millie, this vid is totally for you--enjoy! ;-)

Jimmy's Expo

Jimmy wrapped up another class at Northwestern this weekend. It was about plants and how they adapt to their environments, and Jimmy had fun showing off what he and the other kids had been working on over the last seven weeks.

Josie wanted to do whatever Jimmy did--even stand in front of a poster she didn't make about photosynthesis ;-)

The vid below is Jimmy explaining his journal. I tried to cut him off, but then he insisted on filming a "Part II" and "Part III," which I did--but I'm only including "Part I."

Not Much Going On

We haven't been up to much lately--sorry I haven't posted more pics. I will soon!
