There were trillium everywhere on trails in the woods!  We also saw Jack in the Pulpit and Solomon's Seal.


Auntie Holly!  LOOK his is tall enough to ride the mower :)


He took the turn a little too sharp!  :P

Happy May!

A week of warm weather and Ayson under the weather (minor cold) that Mommy caught over the weekend.  We still had fun outside!  We hope our family an friends were able to get outside and enjoy spring!!!

Sigh, Mommy always loved playing in dry sand but apparently her kiddos love mud and water


Saturday evening walk to the creek - checking for bugs


Addie mid splash


We saw our first dragon fly and hummingbird for the season!

Daddy found a robin egg on the ground (it was crazy windy on Friday night and the nest and egg must have fallen out of a tree)


Mmm, S'mores!



Daddy and the kiddos went for a hike to the hang gliding spot at Labrador (Mommy was dealing with a cold and did not feel like climbing to the tippy top)


Can you see the yellow hat near the bottom of the pond?  That would be Ayson sitting on a large rock below Addie.
