Afternoon at the Stream

Anna has disovered a stream on Loyola's campus that we have been visiting, weather permitting. We took our neighbor, Paulina, along on our last trip. Anna says that Paulina in "awesome"! I quickly become aware of how much she picks up on from other kids! Hopefully she will not start telling me tall tales about the trap door in her (Paulina's) living room floor that leads to the pool. Back to the stream.... Anna is in heaven outdoors. She digs in the dirt for worms, helps spread straw our latest attempt at growing some grass in the backyard, is helping with planting and and rock placement, and allows her "animals" to eat the straw. She even wants to pick up dog poop! Any excuse to be outside!
