Abby found this My Little Pony barrette earlier today and hasn't let go since.

Turtle
Kate has enjoyed Turtle Magazine for a few years now. Is it me, or does she look way old here?

primal
Abby worked out some aggression on Kate's doll this morning. It was as if she was defending her territory.

acrobatics
Kate had the unique opportunity to try out this bungee-tramp contraption at Copper Mountain. As the second photo shows, backflips were no problem for the young acrobat.

day hike
Kate loves to hike and, more specifically, loves to hike with her cousins Graham and Maddie. Here they are on one of three hikes we enjoyed while in Colorado.

Uncle Francis

a tight spot
No space is beyond the girl: the tighter and more off-limits, the better.

cruisin'
Abby is quite the cruiser these days. She's sidestepping from one piece of furniture to the next with ease.

delicious
Kate has been caring for a tomato plant this spring/summer. On Saturday, she experienced its first juicy yield.

the tent
Caryn and Kate designed and constructed our first tent this morning. It's a big hit.

this cooking thing is very cool
Recently, Abby has been intrigued by Kate's stove/oven and cooking gear, pulling the whole lot on top of herself on more than one occasion.

playing with her prey
And yes, those are kneepads. The hardwoods are taking their toll on Abby's knees, so I borrowed this idea from Kristen.

space invasion
Abby is still thrilled at the sight of Ezekiel. Unfortunately, the feeling is not reciprocated.

wading pool fun
Abby loves the water and balls. The two together? Now you're talking.

the red ball
Abby's latest must-have toy: a red plastic ball. Surely, it can't be this easy.

making music, sort of
Abby occasionally, and of course by accident, would sit on the song buttons. She was very excited when this happened.
