We have been moving some things around at the house.  I love how this kid finds all the crazy outside the box things.  He made his bed for a few nights in the closet.  He loved having his own little hole in which to sleep.  You probably can't see it, but on the left are all of his stuffed animals ~ neatly stacked beside him

We all went out for some shooting practice recently.  I don't think you can ever expose kids too much to proper gun handling.

Here are a few more pictures from the health fair a couple of weekends ago.  This was set up by the highway patrol.  People could put on some googles that would impair their vision as if they had been drinking alcohol.  Then they had to walk a line, pick up keys and place in a cup and then pick up a tennis ball and place on an orange cone.  It was a great opportunity to talk with them, once again, about the dangers of drinking and drugs.  I think it surprised their little minds how hard it was.  The goggled ranged from .06 to something like 2.4 blood alcohol content.  It was interesting to see what the vision of someone 3 times the legal limit was like.  No wonder there are so many drunk driving accidents.  You see like 3 or 4 of everything!

We had a pretty quiet weekend and looks like a quiet week ahead. Really enjoy the slower paced days! The warmer weather (although lots of wind) has returned and the boys have been spending lots of time outside playing.

I have stumbled upon a blog of a (fairly) local family that spends lots of time traveling and exploring the state. Excited to have a list of adventures within an hour or two for us to start exploring. It really does not take much for us...some rocks, water and sun and the boys will be entertained for hours and mom can take a book and chair along!
