Table Mountain Wild Flowers

Every year spring comes and goes and we just don't make it up to Table Mountain to see the world famous wild flowers. This year, all the stars were aligned just right for a visit with incredible flowers all around.



We picnicked under the old oak tree.



We hiked down to a neat water fall.



Rex & Valerie spotted more than one garden snake out enjoying the sunshine in the brook. Amira!!! DON'T TOUCH THE SNAKES!





Looks idyllic, doesn't it? What you can't hear is the complaints about the forced march across the beautiful mesa covered with wild flowers. Worst mother ever.





Well, once we gave the kids food and water, the whole thing didn't seem so bad.

Spring is Here!

Happy first day of spring!

Yesterday we had some temperatures up in the 70's and the kids decided it was time for some fun with water.




Rex and Valerie teemed up with the kids across the street for a water fight.



















Out came the hoses and plastic bucket tops to be used as shields.


















And it's always time for a craft. And if your name is Rex, that craft probably involves DUCT TAPE! See home made slipper, designed by Rex. What a man.



















Lastly, if you are a chicken, you're pretty stoked about all the worms and other bugs coming out about now. See Buffy here going to town on some delicious grub or something.
