Enjoying Nature!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day, so my sister Karla, and I took the kids to the Springfield Nature Center.  All but Gavin and Jadon...they are in school.  (I wish their spring breaks were the same week.)  I am sure we walked at least ten miles....well maybe five...I don't know, it was a long walk, anyway.  But FUN!  Here's some pics of the seven kids enjoying God's beautiful creation.

Count off.....before we start...just to make sure we end up with everybody.  Ages:  11, 10, 8, 7, 4, 3, 2.




They wanted me to take pictures of the deer.  I don't know why.....we have deer grazing in our back yard.  Just happened to catch this one at an inappropriate time.  Oops!





 Now this is REAL rock climbing!! 










We love skipping rocks!






Awesome day!!  And thank you to the big kids for helping with the little kids!
Love you all,
Mema

I love the picture where Karla has Jude's blankie draped over her shoulder. What a great Auntie!

You'd almost have a full countdown if Gavin and Jadon were there 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, Jadon, 4, 3, 2....that's a lot of grandkids!!!
