the weather has been a little unpredictable-we get excited about a 60 degree day and then it is back to the 40s-so i have learned to try and capitalize on the good days. saturday was a beautiful day-especially in the late afternoon-and when bobby went to pick up a craig's list purchase-the kids and i headed down to a patch of bamboo. they each had a pair of scissors and had fun making different kids of creations. ben sat in the wagon but loved playing with the bamboo sticks. then we explored down by a little creek-and discovered a wonderland of fun. the kids were jumping between rocks and ben and sat and put his toes in briefly...
i decided we should trek back to the car-just because ben was starting to get restless. there was a message from bobby that troy and the kids had come to the farm. the promise that we would come back with delaney was really the only way i got them to leave. as promised-we went back-this time with rain boots. delaney and anneliese ditched the shoes and they played until everyone was fairly soaked.
we returned home-bobby made a fire, the kids had hotdogs and smores and fun with bubbles.
sunday was colder, cloudy and very windy-which made our adventures on saturday all the more appreciated :) somewhere in there we also had 2 soccer games and 1 practice.
today is grandma gerrie's birthday. we talked about her and all the things she loved to do-i think about her pretty much everyday and wish i could call her and tell her all the fun things we have been up too and also-give her a big hug. happy birthday grandma gerrie!
