Wordless Wednesday: May 22, 2013 (w/linky)- Fun at the Park

Well, the warmer weather seems to be here to stay. For a little fun with our insect unit we went over to the park to look for insects. Oh, who am I kidding. We enjoyed an hour or so at the park and spent very little time looking for insects, though we did find a few ant hills, some spiders and some yellow jackets (eek).

I was actually having fun with my new camera. Even though it is still a point and shoot, it seems to take better pictures. Now if I can figure out all the settings (silly thing didn't come with a user manual I have to go online to check it out, grrrr.)

Okay, that was a bit of a longer introduction than I have been giving lately.

I really like the zoom on this camera. I took the following two pictures of the girls on the two different swing sets from where I was standing at the baby swing set.

This is the view without the zoom:

(Yes, she is daring, yes, I told her to get down. But had to snap the picture first.)

This poor stump used to be one of our favorite trees to play around. Not sure why it had to be cut down, but I had to get some pictures with it.

What is he looking at, you wonder. Why, his crazy sisters of course...

Oh, right, here are those ant hills. There were a bunch of ants too, just can't see them in the picture.

He was getting a bit fed up with it all (of course, climbing into and then falling out of the stroller may have had something to do with it).

So, time to get going. But the girls wanted to race first.

Poor Hannah couldn't keep up. Can you see her way back there?

Looking forward to seeing your Wordless (or not so wordless) Wednesday posts this week.

Muffin Tin Monday: I is for Inches

We are still on our I unit. The girls have been digging outside today for insects (so they can feed them to the toad they found), but for lunch today I made them an Inches Muffin Tin.
