Feeding the Catfish at the Hall's
We went to visit Scotty the calf, who has a new mom ("Scotty's been adopted!" we told the kids) and got to feed the catfish as well.
"The catfish said, 'We're hungry!'" Zo says. "So we threw them some food and they scooped it up!"

Garden Plan, 2015
Love that my mom's garden plan for this year includes a garden for Luke and Zo (they have planted onions, spinach, beets and carrots) and a dirt bed for them to dig in (labeled "kids"). What a great thing for the kids to do with their Grammy!

Wednesday Night Wanderings
My mom and dad and their friend Sandie (who I remember so well from my childhood...she's amazing) put on a very well received presentation of their hiking trip across England last Wednesday night at the University. Luke and Zo and I came. Zo was so mellow through the whole slideshow. Luke said, "BAAAA!" very loudly every time a picture of a sheep came up (and there were a lot of them.) Too funny...
Rock Climbing, Dinosaur Hill
The kids are so great at hiking Dinosaur Hill...they do the whole loop which I'm guessing is about a mile and a half with a big uphill. We went last week and had a picnic and climbed rocks at the top...love having these kids in Colorado...
Steamboat to Grand Junction
My husband and I are doing this drive a lot these days, back and forth between our new town and my parents, until we get settled. It's a beautiful drive, very rural, greener every time we do it. And there's lots to look at...cows and horses everywhere, pigs, trains and train tracks, trucks, a tunnel, rivers. Also deer and twice we've seen antelope in the same place not far from here. And last weekend I was driving along and came around the corner and there was this humongous bird in the road.
"What the heck is that?" I said as I hit the brakes. "Oh, a turkey! A turkey in the road."
It's a 3 1/2 hour drive and the kids do amazing...I time it so they are napping part of the way and there are cheddar bunnies and water for a snack when they wake up and a DVD if things get desperate but usually they are perfectly content to look out the windows with me, seeing and commenting on what there is to see.
