After a brief break for a happy birthday to Ben, back to Texas for one more post from Christmas. Since we stayed for several days after all of the other house guests had gone home, we had a great chance for the boys to hang out with their grandparents. On one of those days we all hopped in the car (Yes, all in one car, we stuffed Grandma in the back!) and headed down the hill to the pond in my parents neighborhood.
Evan had gotten a camera, a magnifying glass, and a microscope for Christmas, so we felt it was the perfect opportunity for him to do some scientific observation in nature. We got out and immediately headed over to the pond to practice our stone skipping skills, or our stone plopping skills in some cases. I didn't know Grandpa was such an expert rock skipper! We wandered around the pond collecting little pieces of nature to examine in the magnifier, and eventually taking some pictures. We kept trying to find a bug for him to look at, but they were hiding from the cold weather. Evan also got the chance to climb a tree with Grandpa which was super fun!
(Ian and Ben enjoy the great outdoors.)
(Climbing trees is so much fun!)
