Sunday morning we got up early so Grampa and Gramma could go to the park for their run/walk exercise. Amy was going to run with us but she thought the kids needed her attention more than we did so she played with them the whole time. She and Alli got had closeup look at an armadillo. I was surprised and pleased that we were actually able to get the whole crew up at 5:00am and out the door by 5:30. We have to go very early to beat the heat.

When we got home Amy decided she better get on the road to Colorado, so she packed and hit the road with only her dog Xena for company. We kept the kids busy all day with swimming in the pool, eating, teaching them a new card game (Kings in the Corner), and going down the hill a short way to the creek to wade.

The swimming pool was rather warm today, so this spring fed creek was cold and felt good to us all, but especially to our long haired black dogs.



Here are the two kids, checking out the water to see what's in it. Wally is hoping for things to be in the water. Alli is wishing nothing would be in it other than plants. They forgot their water shoes so Wally is wearing my rubber boots and Alli is wearing my water shoes.

Wally, the future biologist, collecting snails and tadpoles, as always.

Allison's job is to look as glamorous as possible at all times, even at a creek where there is no public, just the camera. She's a natural beauty.
