Frog, Fountain, Flood Fun

Koh: On Saturday we went on a looooong hike at the nearby Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, whatever that means.    What was fun for us was the flooded trail which meant we had many side trip adventures on slippery slopes with broken glass and bugs and snakes to make it past the high water places.   

There were lots of ducks and geese and blue herons and fish jumping right out of the water! 

The frog pond was really cool 'cause it's tadpole season and LOTS of 'em were in the pond and we scared them away.   Then I fell in trying to catch one, so I wore just undies the rest of the day!   Nobody could tell 'cause I look so good in skivvies, especially compared to those ol' diapers. 

We kept walking and walking several miles and hours, even past the roller skating rink and the amusement ride park.   We ended with water fountain fun at the church where we saw mom and dad get married.   well... not really on the last part, but we do go there a lot cuz of that drinking fountain.   

Mother's Day

Koh: We gave Mom and Grand-Mom our best effort yesterday to show 'em how much we love 'em.  We worked all week to make two personal paintings for Mom, can you see?  We even made personal cards, too.  Then we fixed her a cake . . . see?   Then we walked her to the farmer's market to buy her some swiss chard and bok choy, see it in our basket?  Then we got her a latte at the bakery - look at that crowd!   We ended the day at Grand-Mom's where we fixed this heart-shaped pizza and played hockey and baseball.   What a great day for Moms (and for us, too!).

Abe's first swim strokes

Abe: I've been working real hard on learning to swim by taking lessons and listening to our teacher.   Look what I can do!

Mom . . . What happens after life?

Koh: Where do the kitties go when they die?   This one stumped both mom and dad at the dinner table last night.   If you don't believe me, watch this clip direct from our table cam . . .
