Birthday Leaves and Wild Animals

 My camera, as I think I mentioned earlier, acted up on Melanie's birthday. So I dug up my old one and gave it a shot. ;)  The lens casing is cracked, so I think it can't do anything other than very low resolution pictures. Either that or it has a setting messed up that I can't find and fix. But poor quality pictures are better than nothing!

 Melanie got a science-like gift to go with the science trip. She can follow the instructions, but the science part of it is over her head. Her father is working hard at helping out there. ;)

The kids raked up a big pile of leaves.
"We made a nest of leaves" says Daniel.
"Not a NEST a cave!" corrects Nathan.

Jennifer and I had to flee from the ferocious beasts...where they lions? Where they bears?

 "Quick, run before the get you!" warns Mom.

 

The game got a little to scary for Evelyn at the climax. Good thing Mom was close at hand!
