In the Woods

A few of weekends ago, we went to Columbia and stayed at Meme and Pop Pop's house, "in the woods." It is so fun to watch the different ways that the kids play at home and at each of our parent's house. There is such variety in the things they do. Every time we plan a trip to either of our parent's houses Walter arrives with a list of things that he wants to do. Going to Meme and Pop Pop's house these are usually among the things he looks forward to doing (in Walter's words):

1. Get in the woods

2. Catch a Fish (really he wants Pop Pop to catch the fish)

3. Go on the boat (really a canoe)

4. Throw rocks in the pond with Pop Pop

5. Be in the Band (Play Uncle Stephen's drums)

6. Go Swimming

7. See the Dozer (this does not mean ride, touch, or hear it crank up, just to see it)

Emmie now enjoys going along on many of these adventures. Here are some precious moments down by the pond. After Walter and Pop Pop caught a fish, Pop Pop got Emmie to touch it. She thought she wanted to, and quickly realized she's a girl.

Walter loves to ROAR like a monster

Being right before Easter, the kids had a great time going for an Easter Egg Hunt. Meme had the talking Eggs that Walter and Emmie thought were hilarious!
