It's been a while.....

What can I say, we've been busy the last few months with school and with swim practice daily and now meets on Saturday, baseball practice and basketball practice with games on the weekend and Boy Scouts on Tuesdays. Here are some photos to catch you up to speed. (Plus some of my flowers from the garden.)

Meet Slow Poke Slimey

This past Sunday, the whole family went to William Pond Park. Shasta was in heaven. She got to fetch tennis balls out of the river until she finally couldn't keep up with the current and had to head back to shore and let the tennis ball float away. The boys got to catch and release tadpoles for several hours. Some parts of the water looked black with all the tiny tadpoles.

Aron discovered a shallow pond area where there were some that were 4 inches long. He showed off for the kids and I by catching one of them with his bare hands. All that practice catching turtles in Houston paid off. Now if we ever get lost he can catch our dinner for us. The kids named the giant beast of a tadpole "Slow Poke Slimey".

Here's what the boys caught.
