Memorial Day parade

One million degrees, 150,000 of our neighbors, and a fifteen middle school bands.

A good time.

Bike the drive!

TeamFamilyAwesome made it twenty miles at this year's Bike the Drive.  It was a beautiful day, so we started at the Museum of Science and Industry and headed all the way to North Ave.  Check out these strong kids!


 Even at the end of ride, still smiling!

Tadpolers

 We require no help to catch tadpoles, and we know a lot about the toad lifecycle.

Legos

A child in his natural environment

Birding with mom

John was under the weather, so A and Julia accompanied me to the arboretum to look at birds, turtles, fish, and anything else we could see.  


Like this bird I can't identify

Another Monday night looking for books about Legos

Wind chill

Forty degrees and blowing a gale. Let's play soccer!
