Late April and Early May Pics

Nanny care continues.  Posted a few shots here of  the kids and Masons.

Grandma Rose picked up a princess dress and gloves at Goodwill.  Avery tries out both.

Another day, another Disney movie.

The girls love to be tied up for pretend or, as Avery describes it, "trap me!"

"Can't see me!"

Maeve's garden is doing pretty well.

Our rose bush is doing pretty well.

Aren't they cute?

The girls love looking at photographs with Grandma.

They actually cooperated and built this out of the blocks.

Daddy helped build a long train.

Avery doing her current two favorite things...wearing only a nightgown and watching "Tangled."  She normally sits but I guess she was tired.

Congaree National Park stroll

Sunday was a great day to visit Congaree National Park and walk it's path.  The Masons joined us for a nice walk of nearly 3.5 miles.  

The visitor center.  One of the few national parks with no fees required

"That's a big tree!"

Looking for the little lizard

"Wait for me!"

These are roots, called knees, that emerge from the ground around bald cypress trees

Good old poison ivy grows anywhere

"I'm up high!"

A big old hole in a funny looking tree

The Mason crew

What kind of flower is this?

Watching turtles in the pond

Enlarge this, look closely for the red spot and you'll see a pileated woodpecker that Avery spotted

Must be the skeeters can get bad!

More Nanny Care...Plus

Nanny care continues for Avery.  A few more pics here plus a couple of Maeve and girls and Kendall striking a pose in her dance tutu.

More Chillin' and Princess Ready

Here are some more pictures taken lately.  The first ones are ones of creatures relaxing.  The last four are of the girls before they saw the Disney production of Princesses on Ice.

Grandma Rose is great with the girls

"We're going to see the Princesses!"

"Here I come!"

Waiting for the show...

...the show has started!

Erin and Avery

We had a great visit from Erin.  She enjoyed being with the Masons one night and seeing Kendall and Avery.    She spent the last morning here going to library story time with us and Avery.  

Nail polish is a must for a southern girl

About ready to begin

"Cheese!"

Erin's Camera in SC

Some more pictures taken with Erin's camera during her visit to SC.

"My mission in life is to serve!"

Look closely at Kendall's head and you'll see her version of an Indian head dress.

Warm weather means water toys in the backyard

Grillin' salmon and asparagus for dinner

A new generation hooked on electronic toys!

Bells are fun but...

...bubbles are best!
