Today we met up with some friends for lunch at Thomas Mitchell Park and to the let kids play. They had such a great time exploring, playing with friends, searching for caterpillars and wading in the near by creek. It was a very fun day!
 |
| All together we found over a dozen caterpillars/eggs that we will try to raise to butterfly stage! |
 |
| Mr. Monarch Caterpillar, only a few days old. |
 |
| Elliot loves to swing!! |
 |
| Corley |
 |
| Emma |
 |
| Ethan |
 |
| Ethan has so much fun with his friends! |
 |
| Everett and his friends built a fake campfire and played "house" while we hunted for caterpillars. |
After swinging, playing on the playground, hunting for caterpillars and running around, working up a sweat, we decided to walk across the street to the creek to cool off and explore some more.
 |
| This is the whole crew, heading down to the creek. |
 |
| Elliot loves to toss rocks into the water and make a splash! |
 |
| Monkey! |
 |
| It was pretty deep in places. |
 |
| Elliot had a hard time walking on the rocks, so he sat for a bit. |
 |
| They all had walking sticks to help them explore. |
 |
| Stinky mud! |
 |
| Cool Cat Everett, Chillin' |
After the park, we headed home and decided to check out a geocache that we haven't found in our neighborhood yet. It looked like an easy find, right off the dead end road, so we decided to check it out. Elliot had fallen asleep in the van, so he stayed behind.
 |
| "The coordinates say it is in here??" |
 |
| When we entered, it was a surprise to find such a HUGE tree! |
 |
| "I see it!" |
 |
| Ethan tried to reach it, but couldn't dislodge it. So I helped. |
 |
| Everett was the first one to spot the Geocache, so we gave him the honor of opening it up! |
 |
| We decided this was a good place to drop off our Travel Bug from Maine. |
 |
| On the way out we saw this musk thistle (nodding thistle) that is starting to bloom. |
