Oh, no! Not again!

That's Baby Wily's incredulous look. Did Daddy really bust his other Achilles tendon?

Do it yourself day

On Friday, Eric declared the day 'Do it yourself' which pretty much meant Toddler Jeneric got to make a few more decisions than normal, including:

Dressing Baby Wily:


and putting in her own hair clip:

Toddler Jeneric really likes cows and her parents are really grateful for digital cameras. Yesterday's farm visit resulted in a very thorough toddler-directed cow photo shoot. Toddler Jeneric's best efforts (not bad for a 2-year old):

Interlude

A keen Toddler Jeneric observation:
Cantaloupe skin feels like tree bark.

Random Wednesday

Some cute pictures for the middle of the week...

Running with the sap

The Wily Jeneric family had an outing to a local nature center where we learned how to make maple syrup. Below, we present our unorthodox 6-step program.

Step 1: Observe some turtles (and snakes - but we were too slow to get pictures of that).


Step 2. Take a picture of the turtle (a box turtle, perhaps?).


Step 3. Find a grove of maple trees and tap them.


Step 4. In a giant cauldron, boil the sap down, down, down. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.


Step 5. Pour the syrup into trays to make candy.


Step 6. Eat some candy (sorry, no photos). Toddler Jeneric declared the maple candy good, but still only got one piece!

Caption this! Friday
