2 Lots of fun finding BIG sticks!

10 Ooops! Lost TWO shoes!
11 "Mommy I found a fower for you!"
12 "I want you to put this in your hair!" (I need to check and see if it's still there!)
13 Like monkeys cracking nuts. Kids love rocks and sticks - it's all about channeling that interest so no one gets hurt. I loved Dave's "Hope is not a plan" philosophy - as in you can't just hope no one gets hurt.

23 Sam was up pretty high then suddenly lost footing and a slipper and came sliding all the way down! His face is surprised but smiling.
24 Going at it again. Daddy is wondering why we need to do this.
25 It all starts with "I just want to..."
26 Ben is up golfing.

30 Ben is singing on his way down the hill.
31 Lots of wild flowers to greet us. Like these impatiens.
