These photos were taken in the last few days ~ just a little of this, a little of that in our typical family fashion.
What is it about little cuddly critters that either melts a person's heart or turns them running for the hills? We never tire of seeing children's reactions to animals.

I didn't get it on camera, but he wasn't too impressed when he tried to get out of this car after sitting in it backwards. It looked more like he was wearing the car on his head. Thankfully he's a good sport and Daddy saved the day.
We had our first outdoor meal with the siblings at a brother's house. It was nice to sit around, picking off wood ticks and watching the children play. We're looking forward to spontaneous gatherings like this again.
