Goodbye May!

Back to reality the last full week in May with temps in the 50s and 60s.  Amy wished the wood stove was going:)  We continue to send good thoughts to our family and friends!

Thunder rolling in Adam's "cow clothes"

The kiddos working on a science project of the stars/constellations with glow in the dark paint.  Thanks to Ayson's teacher for giving Addie a kit too!!!

The kiddos had Friday off (as a "snow day" give back) SO, the whole family took the day off.  We tried to stay up to watch the stars but we did not stay up past 10 pm.

Ayson being a goof ball.

The boys learning how to whistle by sticking their fingers in their mouths (Ayson looked it up on YouTube)

Friday fort time

The kids took their fort down to the basement so that they could also watch a movie in the dark.

Too cute!

The inside fort tunnel

The kids decided it was too hard to watch the movie in the fort so they wound up on their bean bags.

The kiddos are in another Leggo phase and each ordered new sets that arrived on Friday!

We hiked a new section at Labrador Unique Area on Saturday.  After hiking behind and above the waterfall we hiked south east instead of northwest to the "tippy top."  The trail was gorgeous and apparently we turned around before we came to another waterfall!

We found what we think is a gerbera daisy growing above the waterfall

Top of the falls

We had lunch at this spot before we continued our 3 mile hike.

Ayson was ready to be DONE with the hike but Amy and Adam loved exploring a new section.  We had a hard time keeping up with Addie, she was a hiking machine on Saturday!

LOOK!  Adam found a Superman rock.  We thought it might be the same one that we found a few years back but we think there are lots of heart and diamond shaped rocks at Labrador :)

We found the below rock at Labrador on June 3, 2017 :)

We had to get a new cedar swing as the one Adam surprised Amy with in 2009 broke when Adam sat on it this spring.  Adam insisted that we stain the new swing!

Gorgeous sunset!

New furniture for the pool deck!  Yes, Amy has a blanket, jacket, and hood while the crazy kids are just in shirts.  The furniture will be moved to the pool deck on Monday.
