Summer in Paradise

On our way back to Lawrence we stopped to do a little "naturing" as the kiddos like to call it.

Here is a shot I got of Jack "scientisting" (as he calls it) after I climbed a really tall tree and hung upside down from the top branch in order to catch the perfect light. Don't worry, the new baby likes heights.

Jack with his new collection of rocks. He's smiling because he can't wait to take them to school to share with all of his Raintree pals.

Ella loves looking cute in the woods.

Liliana found a hiking stick and was ready to explore.

I had to climb that huge tree again to get this shot. (Click on any photo to see it bigger)

Derek couldn't resist the urge to get his feet wet either.
