Flooding

We haven't been directly effected by this spring's local flooding, but we did do a bit of exploring.


This is the road leading to the bridge into town


That same bridge from the other side of the lake


The park near our old house


A pavilion, for scale


Then we played in the creek behind our old place

Easter



Coloring eggs



Messy hands



Finished (i especially like the brown eggs in the right rear group)



Aww





Some of the Easter loot (both sets of grandparents brought gifts too)



Indoor egg hunting (it was hard to get pics between the quick movement, small spaces, and poor rainy-day lighting)

That Kid

"I brought you something from outside," Ember said.  She then presented me with something wrapped tightly in a blanket, handing it over delicately.

I was terrified.

My husband was paralyzed with morbid curiosity.

I reached for it.  I unwrapped it slowly, fully expecting something alive and seriously icky to leap out and claw my face off.

...

It was a rock.
