A case of the sillies!
But crawdad hunting is serious business!
Serious fun!
If I can't take this wonderful, best-stick-I-ever-found home I'm really going to cry!

Picnic
Glen Alton is one of our favorite picnic spots. If it had trucks, hammers, and robots it would have literally everything the boys like. There is fishing, a wading creek, a sand pile, and their new favorite creature: crayfish. Ever tried explaining why we call them "crawdads?" I invite you to try.

Summer!
Has it really been 3 months since I posted!? The summer has truly flown by and school will start next week - yikes! They say time flies when you are having fun, so that must have been what we were doing. Here's a recap....
Our vacation to Colonial Beach was very nice and almost qualified as relaxing. The boys loved to be able to play in the calm water of the bay.
We had the place nearly to ourselves for most of the trip unless you count the ducks.
The cliffs overlooking the Potomac are really dramatic and Westmoreland State Park was really interesting. We found a couple of fossilized shark's teeth, which Eli thought was pretty awesome.
He also thought these little guys were pretty awesome. Do you see him? These tiny frogs were everywhere on our hike.
"Grandma Camp" is always a big hit with Eli and Ezra and this year was especially fun because the farmer that rents the land at Grandma and Grandpa's house was putting up the hay (so entertaining!). And he kindly let the boys help. They each got to load a bale of hay onto the wagon using the lift. You can't really see Ezra's face, but he is grinning from ear to ear!
Both boys landed their first fish at the pond as well (catch and release of course). Eli was so excited when he got a bite that he threw his pole down and ran up the hill to Grandma and Grandpa's house to announce his success before he even had the fish reeled in! Chris said he was like a little blonde blur. Then he ran back to check on the fish. Then he ran back up the hill again to get everyone to come see it.

The fish were loving' those grasshoppers!
