May Sleepover...Day 2

This morning Elena and I went on a hike and ended up exploring the creek bed that is closest to our house.

She was very taken with this huge amount of moss.

We both thought this chair made by a tree root was very cool!
 

 Here's Elena telling me a long and detailed story about her imaginary little sister Falene; they're having a picnic snack.

Enjoyed seeing all the prickly pears blooming or just about to...the bees were really enjoying this one as well!
 

 After stuffing ourselves at DoubleDave's buffet in Denton, we went to the park.

Elena and Ian both really enjoyed themselves, and, of course, Elena made a couple of new friends. :)







  

I forgot to mention that the first thing Ian did with the new package of markers yesterday was to pull out ROYGBV and arrange them in order.  He also impressed me today by reading to me about all the planets in our Solar System.
