Feeding the Ducks

It was so nice on Friday and we all got home early we decided to take the girls to the cemetery. This is where I run. It is so pretty there and there is a pretty pond with ducks and a huge tree that kids climb on. There are always people there getting their pictures made and feeding the ducks. We had a great time and it was a good change of scenery for the girls. Ashlyn said "I see flowers" when we pulled up to the cemetery. I tried to explain to her about graves but I could tell the more I told her the bigger her eyes got and she didn't really understand. She asked me, "Are the people wanting help out?"
I gave the girls each a piece of bread and you can see that Hadley started eating her slice. Silly girl! She finally got the concept after watching us.

We all had a good time throwing our bread at the ducks.















Hadley didn't really like to be up high in the trees she was just find watching Ashlyn and walking around.


















We had a great time at the cemetery climbing the trees. Ashlyn told us, "This is kind of like a park".
Ashlyn is a our thrill seeker. Nathan and I were on either side of her while she climbed the tree on her hands and knees.

Fly a Kite

Last week while Hadley was sick we went to the Dollar Store and I found a Dora kite. I thought it wouldn't hurt to spend a dollar on a kite, if it broke it wasn't like we were out a lot of money. Well, yesterday it was so beautiful outside and windy so we decided to try the kite out. I grew up always going outside and doing fun things as a family so this was nothing new to me (watching it anyways). Nathan was going to be the pro (he had never flown a kite any longer than a minute). We had so much fun outside watching Nathan get it going. He really did a good job! I think he had fun too.

I'm not sure what Nathan is doing but Hadley is trying to help.

Sick Girls

Well, my girls have Type A Flu. I fell like the worst mother in the whole world. How could my kids get sick, they never get sick? I'm trying to make the most of it and spend some quality time with them. Here they are eating some yummy Popsicles (thanks to MeMe and Grandaddy). Hadley is so silly, she winks every time she smiles for the camera.
Here they are today. Ashlyn woke up fever free but poor Hadley has had a hard time with this flu. They were both feeling better here. I made them a tent with some blankets and our chairs to sit under while they watch tv.
