Playing Meadowcroft

Joy built a teepee for her baby owl.  Actually she built several versions.

 They kids were constructing huts under the pine trees.  Until Mommy discovered lots of poison ivy and stopped all the fun.

They also kept playing "rockshelter."

Meadowcroft

We had lots of fun at Meadowcroft the Sunday before the 4th.  

Atlatl throwing, always a favorite.

Tomahawk throwing, a challenge! 

I attempted to make a corn husk doll, that was a disaster.  Note to self, don't attempt that one again!!

We saw a snake outside the blacksmith shop.  

We saw Kay a Luke Snatchko and family.

I wasn't sure how the kids would do at the Rockshelter because of all the listening to the video and person talk.  They did great!
I went up and down all those steps on my butt.

Picnic at Grandma and Pappy's

We all really enjoyed our picnic at Grandma and Pappy's.  Thanks Aunt Aimee for such a yummy meal!

 While the boys played old video games, Kaitlyn, Joy and I walked the cemetery.  Kaitlyn and I searched for the oldest and newest stones (1910 and 2016), Joy caught a moth that she tried (yikes, it didn't make it!) to bring home, and we found a snack!

Playing Ice Cream with Dave

Dave watched the kids while we went to class.  They invented this game where they had to close their eyes and build ice cream cones by color and topping.  The kids thought it was hilarious and were having a ball when we got home.

Take a Picture of Me

Eli's Birthday at Flight

We all had lots of fun at Eli's trampoline birthday.  I jumped for a half hour.  I enjoyed playing dodgeball with the boys and Eli and I had a special time jumping and falling down.  I learned I can't jump.  It was really tough on my knees; I didn't feel it until the afternoon.

Making Mac and Cheese with Esther

They both loved licking the cream cheese wrapper (and fought over it.)
