Crazy good life

Seriously.  We've been having a fabulous time lately.  I guess we are getting it all in before I start my summer job in a few weeks. 

This morning we walked with our walking partner and then she took us on a boat ride out to an island that her family has a "camp" set up at.  (This camp has running water and toilets.) 

It was BEAUTIFUL out there!  So tranquil and peaceful.  I could stay for weeks...

We enjoyed a delicious picnic and had so much fun hiking around the island.  Brie was so worn out and tired, she slept on the boat ride back and the bumps didn't even bother her at all.  (note her poor little black fly bites, so sad looking.)

Then we went for a walk with Mat at the El Dorado Nature Preserve so that he could check on some stuff for work.  Brie was a trooper and hiked most of it, since we forgot her stroller at home.  Our bad. 

I can't believe how good Brie and I have it.  Sometimes I feel like I'm on a lovely vacation.  Although I did mow the lawn today and I don't think people do that on vacation.  :) 

Gardening 2012

Brie is a great help in the garden and when she gets bored with helping me, our friends have a bunch of toys that she brings out to play with.  It's great!  She is learning that she can't step on plants and run them over with the stroller or car or throw the ball in the garden.  She now just plays nicely with them on the grass patch inside the fence or in the driveway.  She's a great little girl!

The garden is coming along nicely.  The zuchini plants are getting big and healthy and we have a few tomatoes forming on a couple of the tomato plants.  Yay!

Flying a kite

Fun times out at Wehle State Park flying a kite with Mat and Brie. 

Brie loves all types of dogs, even dogs that are just statues!
