More Easter pictures

I told Thor to "Smile" and this is what he gave me. At least he was looking at me/camera.

Easter pics

On Easter Sunday I took the boys out in the yard to take some pics. I took so many, I couldn't pick my favorite ones.
Gunner decided he wanted to get in the pictures too.

The River Beach

Last Saturday, after doing some outside work around the house, we decided to continue the Spring Break and get the boat out on the river, find a sand bar, and let Thor do some swimming. The river is still pretty high so it took us a few minutes of a boat ride to find a sand bar to get out on. We stayed for about 30 minutes. The water was FREEZING! But of course he loved it. We plan on making this our "beach" for the summer.

Kitties!

Friday evening, when we got back from the cave, we went to see Nanny's new kittens. Hali had 5 kittens earlier that day, so they were less then 12 hours old! They are now just over a week old and have grown so much! Thor loves to pick them up and hold them. As some of you may remember, it was around last Easter when we had gotten our first kitten. The day we came home from the hospital with Trig, my mom had to take the cat to the vet and have it put to sleep. While we were gone, something happened to it. The vet said its hip was broken and had several broken toes. So, we are still working on picking which one we want to bring home.

Marianna Caverns

We packed up camp Friday morning, dropped off Curry's truck and camper at the house, hopped in my car and drove to Marianna to tour the cave before they sold out. Some people camping next to us told us they had gone the day before and the tours were sold out for the day by 1:00! Thor thought the cave was really cool! The tour was a little long for his attention span and all the stopping and listening to the tour guide had him really anxious to keep moving. We weren't allowed to carry Trig in the back pack carrier so Curry and I took turns carrying him. He got very tired of being held and wanted down so bad. He wore us both out! The top picture is of a bat that we saw while in the cave. When we got out of the cave, Thor saw all the mud on his shoes and pants. He was very excited to tell everyone that he had cave mud on his pants!

More camp pics

We have a camping hammock that Curry always likes to put up when we go camping. After our hike Thursday morning, we went back to camp and had lunch then Curry and Trig took a nice nap. When Curry wasn't in the hammock, Thor wanted his turn.

I took this little pool with us because I knew it would probably get pretty warm in the afternoons while we were camping and because I knew Thor would love playing in the water. The first night we were there, cousin Zac came to visit and got in the pool with him. They had fun pouring the FREEZING cold water on each other.

Camping During Sprink Break

Over this past week, Spring Break, Curry and I made several adventures with the boys. The first day of Spring Break, last Saturday, we went to the Jr. Museum. A few months ago we bought a family year pass to the Jr. Museum in Tally and have used it 3 times now I think. I took my camera but left the memory card at the house so I don't have any pics of that day. Curry ended up getting Wednesday and Thursday off so we decided to take the boys camping. We borrowed John and Chaille's camper and went to Torreya State park, which is here in Liberty county. Very beautiful up there! We stayed Wednesday through Friday. While we were there we went on several hikes. One of the trails started at the little park area so we let the boys play on the playground before we headed off into the woods. They both love the swings! This particular trail went to an old stone bridge that went over a creek.

Trig took a little cat nap on the ride there!
We were driving back to the campsite from the hike and we had to stop and wait for this snake to cross the road. Once it crossed and we pulled up next to it, I zoomed in with the camera to get a closer look at it. Thor was so excited to see it, from the truck of course!
