Nathan drew this picture of bat all by himself outside with chalk yesterday. I especially like the eyes and mouth that he gave it.

We found a desert tortoise





After hiking in the red cliff desert reserve for three years now about 2-3x/week, we finally found a desert tortoise. It was fairly small about the size of Nathan's fist, I don't know if it was full grown or not. The kids loved playing with him. Annie tried feeding him some flowers. They especially liked touching his shell and watching hide inside it. We also found some old animal bones, looks like a big squirrel mandible.   -A

Playing at the black bridge


The kids, especially Nathan love playing at the "black bridge" which is just down the trail from us. We go there about once a day now and just play by the stream, catching frogs and butterflies, chasing ducks, and making boats.  -A


Big Noah's rice cereal



Stef gave Big Noah some rice cereal for the first time and as you can see by his smile he loved it.
