My son had a friend come spend the night, and having discussed between themselves what they wanted to do while here, I was informed a visit to the creek was in my future. Complete with toddler in tow.
It was sunny, warm and a perfect afternoon for a hike! I grabbed the backpack, the camera and off we went.
The boys had some kind of a fort in the making there and they wanted to play army. Cory is really into army men right now and it drives me up the wall. I want to show him photos of Arlington Memorial Cemetary and people burned during the Hiroshima detonation to illustrate the horrors of war to him. Bill insists that it is a short lived phase and to lay off the dramatics. He says: “You are overreacting again, as usual.” Ahem. Aaaaaaaaaanyway…
It was beautiful at the creek, and my words will never do it justice, so a picture is worth a thousand words. You can view the whole set via a slideshow on Flickr.
Violet…smaller than a dime.
Entrance to a small cave.
Pillow moss.
The fort.
Bored with boy games. War is for the birds, Mama Mia. Right on baby sister.
GI Joe.
Minnows.
Tomorrow has us heaing somewhere south for lunch with Daddy’s Home, then taking in dinner and a movie. Then my laptop clicks shut and gets a good rest while I enjoy my surfer dude for, shall I say, a butt load of days. (Jody…doing the moon walk and an impromtu little break dance)
Now, go love on your husbands.
Until next time, adios…goodnight…sleep tight…and don’t let the bed bugs bite.
Oh, and here’s a flower, just for you.

These last two posts are pure, unadulterated G O L D. So beautiful and sweet and gushing and perfect. I’m very happy for you. Two.
Sounds like a great day, and I’m with Mia on playing army. But then, nobody does that around here, just girl stuff.
Beautiful day. Beautiful pictures. Enjoy celebrating your beautiful new life. We’ll be here when you get back. 8^)
Your pictures are beautiful!
Since dh’s dad joined (drafted into) the army during the Korean war as an MP, my husband wanted to continue the tradition. I grew up an airforce brat and see the serious differences between the services…so when the son wants to play army guys,and especially when he play’s “Military Police” I simply give him subliminal (and sometimes not so subliminal) messages: “GO AIRFORCE–GO AIRFORCE”.
I’ll let you know if it works…in about 10 years.
*sigh*
Love the pictures, looks like it was a beautiful day. Enjoy your time together!
