rainy days

the excitement of a holiday seems to always be followed by a let down feeling-and since it was accompanied by a lot of rain we are working hard to fight the blah blahs...
a spontaneous trip to the pond to attempt some fishing was not by normal accounts successful. but, the kids were very excited about the worms-emily even baited her own hook (papa would be so proud!).
no bites and lots of hooks caught in the trees made for a short trip.

this morning it was rainy again and cold! but we had fun following the path bobby mowed to the small pond, jumping in puddles, checking on the growing little plants, and remembering our love of sticks.
