The Past Little While in Pictures

Grandma J (Judy), has been in town. Our handsome boy got his first "salon" cut. He did great. Still gets a bit dreamy when getting his hair cut. He likes it. Rhys gives himself a butternut squash pasta sauce facial. Those eyebrows are like magnets for sauce.

We attended the grand opening of Cabela's. We have never seen so many men in one store and with the giddiest of smiles on their faces. Cabela's never fails to display grotesque amounts of stuffed dead animals throughout thier stores. Neal did not appreciate my blatant comments about how the animals are even more beautiful when alive. Shockingly, these fish were actually living.

See, here is a perfect example of taxidermy overload in these stores. Here a bear drags a dead sheep. A dead dead sheep. Isn't this a little bit redundant?

Today we enjoyed the Easter Eggstraviganza down at our city hall. Fun for the kids-airbrushed tatoos, pictures with the Easter bunny, balloon twisting artists, plastic eggs generously handed out with more toys than candy (thank goodness), crafts, games, and the like. We were happy to see our friends the Goodes, Garvins, and Voges.

Tonight we went for an evening walk down at the old stone dam. There are abondoned train tracks there so we took the kids across them and then on a little trail to the dam. Instead of heading back we felt rather daring and climbed down, over, and up the other side of the dam.

The nice thing about the abondoned tracks is that the bridge has only positive graffiti on it. Nothing distasteful, just scripture, inspirational thoughts, and the usual declarations of love.

Here Neal is swinging my dear baby boy over the spill area of the dam to my mom as sweet Sophie walks on totally unattended. Who's earned the parenting award?!

Here's what we crossed. Not too big a deal but fun!
