Rain!!

Nate loved that we let him jump in the puddles!


Ellie was not so sure about getting her feet wet. She thought the idea sounded fun until water got in her shoes.


This drain is fascinating! Nate's question was "Mom, does this go to the sewer?"

More close-ups

The stick your arm out far enough to take a picture of yourselves pictures. Luckily our new camera has a screen you can turn around so you can avoid the up the nose shots.

While Daddy was Away

We collected all of the pillows that we found in the house and dove in! The kids called it the swimming pool. Ellie insisted that I say "Come on in, the water is fine"

While Ellie napped we built walls with pillows to make a house.

On Sunday, we built a fort that took up most of the living room. It had a living room, kitchen, and bedroom.

Stormy was hanging out in the fort kitchen.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

We got a Wii!! These things are a blast! The whole family is enjoying playing it.
Check out Nate's bowling skills!

Horton Creek Trip

This weekend Eric and I went backpacking with some people from Eric's work. We went to Horton Creek/Springs which is about 15 miles east of Payson.
