We went to Rapid City again for Ted's work. We finally made it to Dinosaur Park!
Such a beautiful view.
A new addition at the Main Library, a puppet castle.
Some water color painting. My attempt at painting a dragonfly. We were admiring the technique in the book, Eliza and the Dragonfly.
Matilda working on our dinosaur floor puzzle.
Abraham the thumb sucker. So cute and precious.
We re-arranged the kids' playroom.
Abraham, following his sister's footsteps in finger sucking.
Enjoying the puddle after a rain storm. Tavin was floating his "boat" down the little stream.
Abraham in his Jumperoo for the first time!
Tavin is always wanting to help Abraham.
Target practice at Scheels.
He's building up his strength and sitting upright with his brother and sister.
He loves his hands.
Lunch out on the deck.
More fun after another rain storm. They found a worm. It is very funny to me that Tavin will pick up a worm with no problem but is overly concerned about his hands getting sticky at meal or snack time.
The property's poor drainage system has luckily been to our benefit. Great fun after the rain.
I think this is a damselfly. It was holding its wings more like a damselfly anyway. We had fun chasing and observing them as well as the grasshoppers, butterflies and crickets. Having that little swampland is actually pretty neat for nature.
Tavin posing and getting goofy.
Abraham, up close and personal.
Matilda! She is getting more difficult to catch on camera.
Playing in the sand with their friend, Benjamin. He has some cool toys!
