Yesterday I braved the unpredictable weather and went on a run/walk (there was running and walking - this is the first time I've taken my 70 pounds of children on the run with me), with Peter and Ned. We headed to a trail south of town and when we arrived, Peter said, "Hooray, it's the jungle!" Here's what the jungle looks like:
And if you're wondering, yes, there were lions and tigers. Here's what they look like:
Ferocious, aren't they? Exercise this spring and summer is going to be a lot of fun!
**Yes, there is a steamer in Peter's hand - that is his space ship or his platter of crackers. You'll have to ask him which one it is right now.
You are a brave, brave woman!

Is he holding a vegetable steamer?

It looks like Peter is prepared for whatever you may encounter .... he will steam those assailants ... I see I new comic book character in the works ... you've inspired you old, arthritic, mother to go for a walk at lunch today ... before the rain comes, hopefully ... Love you all, Mom

I was wondering about the steamer too! haha!
Your view of the jungle is lovely! And your wild animals are just adorable!

I love the steamer. What a way to multi-task -- playing one minute and eating the next.
I can't believe how much snow you still have in the "jungle".

Did it snow there this morning too? We walked up to the temple last Saturday. It's nice to be able to get out even though I still think it's a bit too cold. Pushing the kids uphill is really a good workout!
Peter cracks me up!

They should put those steamers in the boys toy section. I bet they'd sell a ton! When my little guy was 4 and we'd go to Target he wanted one so bad and my mom finally bought him one. He just turned six and he still pulls that thing out and plays with it! I thought we were the only ones lol!
