Daddy's Truck

There is a lure about the bed if daddy's truck that I don't understand. These kids love it!

Family Hike

This weekend we did an afternoon adventure. When we arrived at our trailhead on Saturday and had just applied big spray and loaded up to take the trek, a thunderstorm began and forced is to postpone the trip. Elsa was devastated and threw a fit. She cheered up with the mention of a sonic treat, however.

On Sunday we tried again. The weather was mild and Elsa was in good spirits. Daddy carried her most of the way, by her request, on his shoulders. 

Elsa liked scooping water and called, "come here, fishes!!" When trying to catch them. She was not interested in holding the minnow that cast caught, but he did like helping to build a dam. She said, "Day-um,, show you mommy!!" She was proud of their work. 

It was a great little adventure.

At the zoo

A few iPhone photos from Elsa's second trip to the zoo. 

Turtle Nest

Elsa and her dad found a turtle nesting on the trail. They peeked in the hole and saw eggs. Elsa was excited! She said, "eggies!" And when asked what was inside the eggs, she said, "Baby chickens!!"

Water Play at Nanny and Poppy's Back Yard

 

Elsa enjoyed filling up a bucket and dumping it out, just like her brother did at age two (and still does).  She followed him around and had a great time splashing.  She really loved her "swimming clothes" and didn't want to take them off, especially her sunglasses.
