This probably won't end well for the pumpkin.


Very sweet sibling interaction


Not-so-sweet....


...so she could do this super safe thing with the slide


Not-so-restful bedtime activity. Rosemary is not picking her nose at the end. That's her attempt at making the "hush" signal of putting a forefinger in front of pursed lips.


Lawn mowing helper

Baking muffins

Yoga

Ava subjects her sister to hair bows and kale chips

Zoo boardwalks, snowy owl impression




Daddy returns from a successful hunt

Rosemary's first hike (in which she did some of the walking)

We saw several moose in the Powerline Trail valley (6 bulls, 2 cows). You can't really see it in this picture, but there are 2 bulls resting between the poles here (close-up below). We also saw a wild lynx on that hike.


Same day, moose calf in our yard. It hung out in our cul-de-sac for several hours. We never saw its mother.

Same leaf pile, same day, different baby

Wheelbarrow maneuvers (for wood hauling)

She's really into eating sand.
