Yorktown

Last week was National Parks Week, so they were doing free admission for all for the week, and we took advantage of it and went to the national park at Yorktown, and then walked around the community a bit.









And then, on the way back to the car, we stopped to look at the bamboo. That stuff is HUGE!!




Anyway, there's some pictures from recently. :) I do have some I took this past week as well, they just aren't on my computer yet.

Rebecca is talking more and more, and signing more and more as well. It's becoming quite interesting, because she is actually starting to say&sign, which is not really what we were expecting, though we were sure hoping to have it happen!

We've been spending a lot of time outdoors, as it hasn't been raining much. Very unusual for this area, really. We're at the point that I'm starting to wonder if we'll be hitting drought conditions sometime soon. We've had a sprinkling of rain about once a week for two weeks. Anyway, other than the grass feeling a little dry, and the trees looking a little... ummm... yellowish green? Things seem to be faring okay thus far, and it's giving us the opportunity to use our sidewalk chalk and bubbles a lot! And, of course, there's the playground, which is always fun to do. Rebecca has learned how to get herself down the slides on her own, and just LOVES to go down them over and over now. The only thing is, we have to find playgrounds that don't have too many children, as bigger children are not very good about watching out for the little one.
