Our Hike to the Johnson Art Museum included a precarious suspension bridge which is 150 feet in the air, hiking through the woods were mercy found some really neat flowers for this time of year, and some cool tree roots.

We met my sister Sarah and Jon and some other youngsters on the hike.

You can go up to the 5th floor of the Johnson Art Museum and look out!  What a view!

Marissa is our cake boss!  Everything she made there had tons of Apple mixed in which made it much more healthy and fruity.

For dinner, we picked apart a chicken carcass!  Fun!

The library had stuff you could make for story time.


The Chicken actually got out and went to the neighbors house three doors down!  One wonders if it was lost.  So we had to bring it home safe.Then We went for a hike in the woods near the cemetery which has tons of myrtle.  Notice that despite the 50° weather, the girls wanted to wade in the stream.  It turns into quite a Gulch.This person decided to have a bench for his tombstone!  Nice idea.

Mark and Elisa came for a brief but wonderful visit.  



Some pretty good comics by Martha Top and Malachi bottom.  They're getting the concept!




On Friday, we took a trip to the dump, then went to a local farmer who was allowing us to pick corn.  The Mandeville's not only allowed us to pick, but gave us rides on their gator and showed great hospitality!
