A little girl and her pile of dirt









These little monkeys had more fun playing with a pile than you could imagine. We went to Indiana over Memorial Day weekend and spent a few days with Drew's parents. We don't have a lot of yard at our place and the kids went nuts over the open space. Their grandpa has been landscaping around their house and piles dirt from the holes he digs. Well, Elena spent a whole day just digging at this pile. Lucas couldn't quite climb up, but he had fun in the grass and the desolate corn field behind their yard.
It is fun to watch the kids discover and play. Elena is very interested in worms and snakes (ugh) so she kept hoping she would find something in the dirt. Thank goodness she didn't. I don't even know what she'll do when she sees the snake in the street in front of our house that met its match with a car tire.
We didn't get to make it down to Indianapolis to see friends this trip, but we'll be back. I don't think I could keep Elena from her precious dirt pile.
