"Insta"-replay #86, local fun

This week I enjoyed being home!  We had fun at local parks and in our own living room.

Merry thought this climbing structure looked like the Eiffel Tower.  She was quite pleased with herself for reaching the very top.

The kids had fun writing letters to their cousins, now I just need to mail those letters.

Here in the valley there is no fear of twisters, but it is pretty cool to see a sudden up draft pick up a load of straw.  We rushed out in time for it to loose momentum over the road.  Seeing to hay hanging from the telephone wire is still impressive.

The girls got to watch their first Shakespeare, "A Midsummer's Dream". It was a community performance and cousin Toby was the changeling boy.  I was surprised by how much they enjoyed it.

"Sprinkles are for winners!" We were definitely winners!  Aunt Katie continues to find uses for the plethora of marshmallows she bought before they go stale.  

We are looking forward to another week at home. And I'm starting to count down to school starting!
