Outdoor fun

The weather was pretty good while in Oregon so we were able to kick the kids outside of a lot. Maggie loved the idea of looking for bugs and snake. This little girl, for as much princess as she is, does enjoy her fair share of creepy crawlers. They found a fuzzy caterpillar and a newt on this occasion. **Do you see how curly Maggie's hair is in Oregon? Now that we are back in Lubbock, it is just this awkward wave again.

Sam LOVES shoulder rides, which is good because your arms can kill after carrying him on your hip for so long. He like being part of the group more now that he is getting older.

It flooded one of the days (the river floods my parent's road several times a year) that we were there so naturally we had to wade through it and skip rocks. Ben was an amazing rock skipper and out skipped Mike, which is saying a lot.

 As we were walking down the road, I told Mike that there were going to be at least two kids that get in the freezing water. Well, my child was one of them. Mike and to go in and follow her to make her she didn't fall off the ledge into the river.
