Fluffy White Things

Here's a picture of one of our new bunnies. Allison's rabbit, Jasmine just had them a few weeks ago.

This is a flower I took a picture of when we went for a walk the other day. It's not a dandelion, but some type of milk weed I think.

I just thought this cloud looked really cool. It reminds me of an angel.

Fishing with Daddy

Tim took Allison and Ben fishing the other night. Here is what they caught:

Here's Ben catching a bass.



Here's the bass that Allison caught.


Tim hooked this one, but Ben reeled it in!


Daddy and Ben are proud of their catch.



Tim caught this snapping turtle. Yikes!


They didn't keep any of the fish or the turtle, but they had fun catching them.

SPIDERS!!

We've been watching this spider (the one on the left) for over a week now. Tonight there was another spider with it. This new one is black and green and it's body is smaller than the other one. I'm not sure if they were fighting or mating, but in the end, the second spider is now nowhere to be found.

NATURE

Here are just some pictures I've taken recently.

This is a butterfly in my Mom's sweet pea tree.

This is a spider that lives in our back doorway. Everynight it comes down and builds a web. I really don't like spiders, but I have enjoyed watching this one as long as it stays on the other side of the door. :) I think it's some sort of orb weaver spider, but I'm not for sure.

Here is a Bald Eagle that we saw this past Monday. It was standing on the side of the road, but when I pulled over to take a picture it flew up into the tree. It's a pretty good picture, but I wish I could have gotten the front of him.

Lake Michigan

On the last full day that Shannon and the kids were here, I took them to Lake Michigan. My mother-in-law babysat Hunter for us, so the rest of us could fit into one vehicle. We had a nice time at the lake. The kids played on the playground and we all walked along the beach and waded into the water. After that we went out for ice cream!

4th of July

Over the 4th of July weekend, our little town puts on a pretty nice festival! We went to the parade on Saturday morning. Then we walked downtown to see what the vendors were selling. We had sno-cones and cotton candy. The kids played little carnival games that the Baptist Church put on. They won lots of little prizes and had a good time playing.

Tea Party at Grandma's House

One day while Shannon and the kids were visiting, my Mom invited the kids over for a tea party. Allison and Clara had spent the night at her house the night before, so they helped Grandma prepare the party. They dressed up and helped make the food and set the pretty table.
