| Almost ready to "hatch"... |
 |
| Any time now... |
 |
| BUTTERFLY! |
 |
| Kieran can hardly believe it! After all this time talking about it- the butterfly is finally here! We have successfully raised four butterflies from tiny little caterpillars to big, beautiful monarchs- what a fantastic experience :) |
 |
| Touch down! |
 |
| Kieran checking out the new playground at Nana and Papa's |
 |
| I think he likes it ;) |
 |
| King of the mountain! |
 |
| Papa cleaning the new slide... |
 |
| Helping Papa clean |
 |
| Papa gives Kieran a boost so he can get the high spots clean too ;) |
 |
| Checking out the tunnel- spooooooky! |
 |
| Now there's a boy who loves his Papa ;) |

 |
| A great big spider in his web down by the pond |
 |
| Up the ladder... |
 |
| Look! A pumpkin and gourd! We got these earlier that evening at the Ashland farmer's market- Kieran insisted ;) |
 |
| Kieran really enjoyed rolling the pumpkin and gourd down the slide- even though he has yet to do so himself ;) |
 |
| Cousin Presley arrives! |
 |
| Kieran attempts to help Presley up the slide... |
 |
| Although Kieran insisted that the pumpkin was all his, he was very eager to share his gourd ;) |
 |
| Throwing acorns in the gazing pool! |
 |
| Hmmmm... something is a bit off about this photo ;) Papa invited the kids down to watch a "controlled" burn |
 |
| Auntie Shannon teaches the kids to do a "hoe-down" |
 |
| Both the kids love to play in the birdbath |
 |
| Kissing Nana's bird statue?? |
 |
| Kieran making his tooting sounds- learned this little gem from his auntie- thanks Shannon ;) |
 |
| SPLISH!! |
