It has been awhile since we posted to the blog, during which we've been immersed in a slew of activities. I think these photos from the last month or so might have uploaded somewhat haphazardly so chronology be damned. Above is a photo of Lena playing with her pigs in the infirmary at the Raleigh Children's Museum.

One of the great things about the Children's Museum is that kids can really build stuff! Here Lena tries her hand with the saw as she builds an owl of her own design out of wood.
Lots of goofing around at home.
In early August we took a trip to West Virginia to the Appalachian Stringband Music Festival. There are always tons of beautiful mushrooms scattered through the woods this time of year.
In July, I think after our trip to the Children's Museum Lena got excited about making her own museum in her bedroom. Here is her display on what happens to an animal after it dies (complete with educational signage and wooden bones below!).

A dancing owl at the festival.
The kids loved seeing some of the flatfoot dancers with the animal masks!
Making watermelon pickles right now (early August).
Hazel visiting Lena's home museum. I think Hazel is exploring the grocery store here.
In early July, Morgan, Lena, and Hazel went to the coast while I went to a meeting in Ottawa. They had a great time and we're already scheming about how to get there all together.
On a small ferry headed to Hammock Beach State Park.
