Pictures in May

Many photos from the Barson clan...

Hiking near "Bowl and Pitcher" along the Spokane River. I was finally able to test out my new lenses on my film camera...those photos may appear later. Very exciting and fun!

Cutie Pie eating veggies and cottage cheese (just for you Papa).

The kids love playing outside. John and I definitely made the right decision to spend money last spring and install the yard. Thanks again to my mom and David and Linda for helping out with the house-warming gifts. By the way, we used to bath Sophia in that blue tub when we first moved to Spokane. The home we were renting had no bathtub. She barely fits now.

They always enjoy playing in the sand box.

Everett looks great in the new suit that Auntie Katie got for him. His little Tevas are so cute.

We were playing at Manito Park on South Hill. The park has many gardens, toys, trails, and ponds to visit.

We were hiding in an evergreen.

"Who me? Yeah, I guess I really am the cutest boy!"

We picked up a few large pine cones from another park, slathered them with peanut butter, and rolled them in bird seed to make bird feeders for Gamma.

Our oldest kitty boo boo is finally liking to hang out with Sophia (that is if she can sit still for a minute). She loves hangin out with her new pal.

A different hike along Spokane River just outside of 9-mile Falls.

Sophia walks while Everett rides in the backpack.

Sophia is always picking up sticks and rocks and pine cones...

Yes, this is a very large rooster running around in our back yard. We found him 'hanging' around the house for several days and he never left the area. I really didn't want him hit by a car or eaten by weasels so I corraled him in our back yard. Then spent the next few days finding him a new home. Sophia was sad to see him go. She loved "Mr. Chicken"...the neighbors did not.

Everett loves corn on the cob. What a pro!

Sophia sports an outfit that Auntie Katie bought for her. She actually matched her colors this time.

The kids love sitting in Gamma's mule (atv). Everett prefers that it not be running. Sophia likes cruising around the property.
