Bird Nest?

Unusual place for a bird nest. A wren decided that Julia's bicycle basket would make a great place for her new family.

A day in the life of Julia

I spent some time with Julia today. We started the day by going to Shipley donuts, then we went to the vet school where she got to hold a baby racoon. We went to the craft store where she made Beth a bracelet for mothers day. The day ended with a ballet recital where she saw her friends dance.

Piano Recital

The kids had their piano recital at the church Sunday afternoon. They all did well. Jeanie and Gray came up for a visit just to see them play. 

In front of the Sipsey river

Michael and I went hiking into the Sipsey Wilderness for a weekend with the Boyscouts. It was the first time I ever camped primative and we hiked in 3 miles with a backpack. It was a tough hike for me, easy for Michael and as you can see it was well worth it.

Turtle and Banana

Never saw a box turtle so hungry.

 

 

Paint Ball

Phillip's youth group from our church went to Lake Forest Ranch for the weekend. We visited Saturday afternoon and they were getting ready for the last game of paintball. They needed another player so I was talked into it. I had a great time.
