Kickball

After all those fun and games at field day, Joshua still really just wanted to play kickball. So we rounded up some folks (including a couple of honest to goodness league playing kickballers) for an intense game between the bubblegums and the BGBs (aka the bubblegum beaters). We all had so much fun, despite the heat, that this may become a monthly event. Joshua was much pleased.

Gabriel and Joshua seem to have similar kicking styles

don't you think?

Field Day 2010

For today's butterfly...

We have a pair of Great Spangled Fritillaries. I never tire of watching these beauties. So many fritillaries fluttering in flight on our flowers out front!

Our best find ( I think) while geocaching this morning. The Zebra Swallowtail. Caterpillar likes to feed on foliage of the pawpaw tree, which must be why I have seen several of these striking butterflies in these parts.

Feeding the Lego Mania

Ella and Joshua participated in Lego Quest for the first time this week. Checkout the website to see their flag creations and play along with the new challenge. Oh, and Joshua is trying to trade this guy on Legomen Project.
