The broccoli snatchers

Taking food off the counter isn't usually allowed, but who could stop such enthusiastic broccoli eating?

Springtime hike

We went to Foothill Park again today. In the month since our last hike here the wildflowers have really been blooming up a storm. Kelton found a bunch of coralroot, a parasitic orchid, I found a big mule ears. All the kiddos enjoyed trying out the binoculars. We also found a very active anthill and two bee hives.

Adventures around town

This weekend we had a variety of local fun. Saturday was the May Fete children's parade downtown. Brennan and Weston met a clown up close. Weston kept saying, 'I saw a clean, mommy, a clean!'. Kelton yelled out 'Hi principal Mary!' when his school marched by and she answered with 'Hi Kelton!'.

After the parade, we visited a little redwood forest and splashed in the stream. We found a humming bird nest. Kelton built a dam with Daddy.

Sunday, I enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day pumpkin pancake breakfast cooked by all the boys. Later we went paddling with Suji, Dan & boys. All in all a fun and full weekend!

Swinging brothers

Kelton and Brennan figured out how to swing together.
