Outside Fun
Wilson's Farm with Zeb and Amelia
She was very excited to stand amidst the pumpkins!
At Kruel Family Farms
A ghost says "boo!"
Playing on top of the hay bales
Lost in the corn mazeInside Fun!
We made cupcakes when Ayca and Kristof came to visit.
We bought a bag of fuzzy balls from the craft store. Best $3 ever.
Lucy loves books...if they have gimmicks, pulltabs, popups, and the like.
It took some diligence, but Liz's playdough experiment was an overwhelming success.
Hummingbirds
There are three hummingbirds that feed in our butterfly garden, a male, a female and a juvenile. They're addicted to the sugar water.
Wind Back the Clock for the WInd Up Duck
Lucy hearts this wind-up duck. This video was taken in April when Lucy was just over a year, but I finally got around to editing it together.
Castles Made of Sand
Today was the Sand in the City Festival in Iowa City. Andrew half-built three castles. Lucy made sure that all three were properly razed to the ground before completion.
Ride Sally RIde
Sally's Winning Ride from Andrew on Vimeo.
We got to watch Sally ride Hope on a blue ribbon ride in Cedar Rapids. We had a great time, especially Lucy.
More evidence of canine heritage
Daughter or Dogger? from Andrew on Vimeo.
Between this and the dog bowl, I'm a bit concerned. Better get her a rabies vaccine.
Relaxation
Lucy's favorite animal to sleep with.
Stop! Hammock time!
Every time you see it, the Hammocks just so hype.
$8 well spent, well, plus the water.
A Drink of Water

Selby makes for a great role model.
In the grass
Lucy had to stay home sick for a few days. The last day wasn't a REAL sick day, just keeping the sickness away from the other bees, so we went to the lake to keep busy.
Loungin'

Buckethead
The first video from the new camera. Of course it looks like terrible thanks to blogger compression. I'll have to set up a Vimeo account.
Hooty Who?
There are two barred owls that live around our yard.
We've got an owl call on the computer that brings them flying in every time.
Lucy's gotten into owl watching and if asked "Whay does an owl say?" responds "hoooOOOO!" and points to the trees!
Happy Meal
Lucy wearing her Happy Meal hat after her first trip to McDougals. She liked the fries, not a fan of the apples, lukewarm on the lukewarm nuggets.Picture me rollin'
Pulling the wraps off Lucy's new wheels!
Still not sure what this thing is...
OH! It's a car! Thanks aunt Nancy and uncle Lee!
Still 15 more years until you can drive that thing legally you know.
Springtime is here
Feeding the ducks in the park. Floating ice was sometimes misidentified as a "duh."
An intrepid backyard explorer.
Where did all the white stuff go?
Playing outside is so much fun!
Saturday Morning
Somebody discovered the BOX of Cheerios this morning.
Somebody else discovered floor Cheerios.
Yum!
Sledding!
On Saturday we went to Hickory Hill where there is a GREAT sledding hill. Lucy was more interested in the fact that Selby was chasing us down the hill than in our sled rides, but we all had fun and a family nap was in order after all that hiking and sledding!
