WW: Snails {Linky}

We went to Eugene T. Mahoney State Park for our yearly Family Reunion on my Mom's side. Sadly attendance is less and less every year. Happily my Grandpa (age 93) has 2 brothers still alive. If not very many people show up, at least those 3 have a chance to get together!

We went for a hike before having lunch. What the boys found to be the most exciting were the snails they found.

I have to admit that they are pretty cute when they come out of their shell. Just not all the way out - like slugs.

Mica called his Turbo, off the movie.

Isaak tried to grab as many as he could, and longed to keep them. We said, "Sorry put them back in nature."

What's a tiny creature in nature that you like?

Have you gone hiking, or camping this summer?

Today We Went to the Kent Family Reunion

Grandma Spiehs' side that is. I picked up Great Aunt Becky, we went to Great Grandpa Kent's and headed out on an adventure 2 hours away to the family reunion.

I made potato salad. The potatoes came from our garden.

Then I made Chocolate Malt Cookies! Talk about yumminess! I know {yumminess} isn't a word, but it should be! You can find the recipe here.

Mica wanted to wear his pirate garb. I said, "Ok. But that's all you get to bring." He got to bring it, not wear it. He was happy with that. Here he is before we left the house:

What we did all day:

• We drove
• We ate
• We played ball
• We played hide n' seek
• We walked to a bridge and threw rocks in the creek
• We talked
• We walked
• We played with toads
• We played with a dog

Disappointments:

• Only one of my cousin's came
• My sister's couldn't make it {we still had fun}
