Ally

Not too rainy, Dru and I found ourselves taking the girl's to a local forest today.  It boasted tree-houses.  And, Dru didn't have to go into work today, so, how could we not? 

After showing our membership card to the desk personnel, we followed the girls out the doors and into the woods.  While exploring, we found a pond with 3 turtles sunning themselves, spotted a big ol' frog tending tons of jellied eggs, and watched a pair of geese take off into the air right before our noses.  Ally was a ball of excitement and to see her skipper-dee-doo down a wooded path - red mary jane's, purple socks, pink skirt and white shirt, her dark hair cropped to a short bob at the chin line, red highlights glinting in the sunlight that trickles down through the forest canopy - I just can't help but be grateful that I get to be a part of her wonder and learning.
