Plum Blossoms

 The plum tree right outside our front door is in full bloom!  It has thousands of beautiful pink blossoms and gives off a wonderful smell.  The kids love playing around and under this special tree.  There are rocks, leaves, sticks, snail shells, and tons of other "nature stuff" to collect under there.  Plus now there are bees and butterflies all around, which Bran especially loves.  This afternoon Tim and the kids laid a blanket out under the tree and spent a long time soaking it up.  It was in the mid-seventies today!  Our friend and neighbor Elke came out to join them, and she took these beautiful pictures with her fancy camera.

Monday Snacking

Sunday at the Zoo

Today we went to the zoo (in Albuquerque) with Noah and his mama Ale.  Noah is an old bud of Ginny's from preschool.  It was a beautiful warm day, and we got to see all the animals Ginny set out to see, although really the animals were secondary to the experience of just running amok.  All three kids had a great time, and both mamas got a good workout.
