While Dad's away

The kids and mommy will play! Last weekend Glenn went turkey hunting so the kids and I headed down to Fort Collins to spend the night with Aunt Vicky. We were in the midst of another big spring storm so we actually had to wait for the roads to open and once we got to Fort C, we had to find indoor activities that would burn off lots of toddler energy. We headed to a place called "Bounce" or "Jumpin'" - I can't remember which - that featured several inflatable slides, bouncy castles and other things to keep toddlers running. Will had a great time as is evidenced by his big ol' grin in this picture:
Reina didn't get to participate in any of the bouncy activities but she did pose like a baby model for her Aunt Vicky.

While we were in Fort Collins, we did a little shopping and had a great time just hanging out. Vicky's turning into a fantastic photographer and took these two pictures of Reina. The first is the look she gives me when she's getting hungry. Very beseeching, isn't it?

Here's the look we get when we don't respond to her hungry demands quick enough. This baby girl has her brother's temper. Ooops.

Springtime is slowly arriving to our part of the world. With the arrival of the ground squirrels in the big pasture behind our house, comes a pretty red fox. Will is very interested in the fox and we've been able to see him several times this week. When I asked Will what the fox's name was, he told me "Bap Bop" which is Will's name for his Grandpa Hansen. Apparently it's a verrrrry old fox.
