Here Alan is, ready for the first day of 3rd grade. You can tell that he's hardly able to contain the excitement. Right??

He just turned 9 years old, and had a Harry Potter birthday cake.
Alan and I went to a Wilderness Survival campout, sponsored by the local MetroParks. The kids (aged 8-16) all had a blast, and got to try their hand at catching some bluegills. Here Alan is, using his high-tech fishing pole.
Alan tending (OK, playing with) the fire...
Alan's helping more & more around the house. Here he is, chopping down some baby saplings that were growing up against the rear of our house. Of course, Miss Zoe had to go outside & see what he was doing...
HEY! You missed one over there!
Oh, hi there!
Yes, I am a ham!
Waving for their adoring fans...
Poor Zoe...all Dora'd out. Supervising Alan can sure take it out of a girl.
Time for a pony ride.
Flapper or Flower Child - you tell me!
Zoe & Dyanne at the Brookville Community Picnic.
You can tell that she's dressed for the warm weather, can't you?
This squirrel is VERY brave. He was zipping around the back yard, while there were a couple Coopers hawks just across the creek, sitting up in the maple trees.
I think this is a juvenile Coopers hawk. There were three of them in the trees behind our house, for at least a month. We don't hear them now, so they've probably moved on.
Two of the hawks, sitting on the fence in our back yard.
This little guy was resting in the shade by our back yard garden hose. He must have gotten brave and tried to cross the open ground. The last I saw (& heard) a hawk had him & was headed for the trees. Bye, bye bunny wabbit!
I don't know the name of the candy, but it's a package containing a candy stick you lick, then dip into powdered colored sugary mess, then lick it all off. Yum, yum, yum. Can you guess the color of the powdered candy?
