A taste of home for Nikki

Remember having our hair eaten by goats, Nik?

Mason is a chick magnet

Off they go!

Get it, Brooklyn!

Kaleb is quite perplexed by Mason. Mason, on the other hand,
is quite curious of Kaleb.

Off they go!

And shoes laces? They like shoe laces, too.

Not a good trip outside if you don't come in with chicken feathers
glued to your shoe with poop.

Moo! I LOVE this cow. She's got the pretties eyes.

Silly goat!

Bat boy!

This jacket is super , duper cute! The fangs and ears are adorable but the wings that can't be seen in this pic make it almost intolerable! 

Slithery, slimy , creepy or crawly

The rain has brought out all the creepy crawly creatures . Every day , Mack has captured some odd group of insect ,worm or toad! She spends several hours cooing to her friends about how sweet or smart they are before it's time to release them back to the wild. I try not to intervene but I did step in to rescue the caterpillar that survived much handling and an accidental dunking in Macks milk at breakfast .

Scenes from the yard

 Glimpses around our yard through the brand new lens Mike got me for our anniversary! ( He's as bad as I am about waiting to give gifts! )

Triple pics Tuesday

Another session of swim started this week. Mack's new instructor
is really great with kids and Mack learned so much in just once lesson! It
helps that there is only one other girl in this class with her and the instructor , who is
in her mid 70's , is very patient.

It's too bad s he can't relax

There is nothing that melts my heart more....

Mess maker, mess maker , make me a mess!

Can you spy the little boy in the midst of this mess of treasures?
Mason doesn't know how to play any other way!

We're free!

 Once the storms cleared away, Mx4 headed to Denver for an afternoon at the zoo! Mason was especially excited because the zoo was empty enough ( since it was just two hours to closing) that he could walk instead of being stuck in the stroller:

Coming at the end of the day, the animals seem fairly docile

Every child must climb these hippos every visit

The free roaming peacocks have never met a boy like Mase

The wild kitten in her natural habitat

Who's impressing who?
