A Long, Long Time Ago

Well, Jake’s gone for another couple weeks so now I’ve got some time to get caught up.  Because, you know, I’ve got nothing else going on, right?  ;)

         
So, sometime after Henry and Janet left, and sometime before Jonathan and Mom arrived, we decided to take the kids and go for a little hike in the area.  The kids were excited to step off, the day was clear and the views were good.

Then the shenanigans began.

               
There were an abundance of winged creatures including, on the left, a swallow, and on the right, a vulture.  Nice, huh?

                                   
I always find it a little surprising how quickly the terrain shifts from coastal tropic to desert hills.  

                                       
But the kids enjoy being out with Mom and Dad, seeing new things and exploring the geography.
                                             Stopping for snacks.  The kids also enjoy that!

                  
We seem to be fascinated by everything from snail shells to Daddy’s sunglasses.

Just enjoying the sunshine.

Sometime later, back at home, the kids found an exciting new canvas for their artwork.

 
This was more artwork?

Yep, work of art, definitely!

                      
Peek-a-boo!

And with that, we’re into June.  Chugging right along . . .
