Lucas and Ashley splash around in the wading pool at Ashley's house.

Lucas, Abbie, and Natasha had a ball splashing in the rain one afternoon.

Silly kids! (Soaking wet!)

Lucas checks out the play set in the Anselmo's backyard.

Abbie gets into the swing of it at Anselmo's.

OK it's not quite the Olympic logo, but that would be a copyright infringement anyway, wouldn't it? L to R: Lucas, Aidan Anselmo, Samuel Nelson, Andrew Anselmo, Isaiah Nelson (2nd cousins).

Noah Jackson reads to Lucas and Isaiah. Abbie entertains herself with a bunny.

Who needs Saturday morning cartoons when there's LAUNDRY to watch?!?

Lizard-girl Abbie chows down some garden-fresh beans.

Sometimes snuggling the purple blankie and the big bear can make a sick girl feel a little better.

More garden veggies delight Abbie and Natasha.

Abbie displays her pensive side, while Lucas forages for fresh toys in the cabinet. (Visiting distant relatives on the Jackson side.)

Pinata time! Abbie struggled with the concept of whacking the pinata with the baseball bat.

But Lucas charged right in.

Abbie and Mommy discuss the pros and cons of using paper plates as masks.
