Playing

There's been some sun in between the rain, and because of all the rain, there's been lots of mud and puddles.
Because of all the puddles, there's been a bumper crop of frogs!































Because of our guests and the neighbor cousins, there's been a bumper crop of children too.....



































Our guests and friends from Colorado:






















Then we loaded up to drive up the hill for a hike.


 (AJ's Idaho rig)

There were 3 mommas, 3 dads with babies on their backs (me with a baby on front), and 9 little hikers.

























































The forest echoed with laughter and the bubbly sounds of joyful camaraderie! 




And then back.


































The lake was pretty and even though Zack found a leach that would make a blood-letter proud, it took only minutes for the mosquitoes to drive us out!

Ah... tuckered out and ready for a good nights sleep!


Havin' a bit too much fun lately to post a lot of words, but I hope the pictures tell the story!
Say what?  No pictures of Yours Truly?
It's true.  I was behind the camera  the whole time, but here's a couple picture that Zack took of me a Bryce not long ago.


































 The end.

...for now.

  2. Alright Brenda, will do.
    It's been so rainy and generally cold that the seeds haven't wanted to germinate! Some things are finally coming up though and it's all I can do not to check them many times a day ;-)
