One of Us

Yep, she's a Downen alright.

We are enjoying our summer of leisure and have decided to focus on family relationships.  Instead of running here and there and everywhere, we are going to rest easy next to our bonfire and really enjoy spending time together.

Shane lets Lula lick his bugs.  Look, not lick, Lula!
We have a plethora of bug jars and habitats going.  We have tent caterpillar cocoons, earwigs and beetles, and of course, the kids are still feeding Brownie. 
These birds have been nesting in our soffits for years and years.  The babies have hatched and the parents are busy flying around catching bugs.  We like to sit out on the porch and watch them.  Mina likes to chase the birds as they are flying in the sky.  It's pathetic, but funny.
The grass is so tall that Jack can hide easily!  I better watch my children closely; they may start disappearing!
