Living off the land
Shucking bamboo shoots straight from our own groves
Viola! All shucked.
Off to find the remaining needed vegetables.
Eva goes too.
Can the bridge hold this much weight?
Now to the rice fields to find those elusive vegetables.
Got 'em and coming back.
If you're wondering why the bridge doesn't go all the way across, it's because it's not really a bridge but a fishing platform.
All mixed together- bamboo shoot soup!
Turned out to be the best I've had in years! Thanks, kids!

These are the little guys
The woman in the background with the hat recently killed a much bigger worm than these, right here in our own yard. She said it was thicker than her thumb and super long. We found these today under some logs. They might be predators.
Atta boy, Atta girl!

Zach keeping busy
Here we go round the bamboo trees, the bamboo trees, the bamboo trees. Here we go round the bamboo trees, chasing our two pet turkeys!

Time travelers!
Nathan and I spent a morning painting at the office last weekend. The kids packed a backpack of stuff and got right to work when we got there. Kid stuff. We painted all morning, and they were still busily playing at lunch time when we needed to leave. What kept these guys so busy? And where is this caravan going?
To the big, blue pyramid of course! They were off in Ancient Egypt, in the middle of a funeral procession, taking their dead Pharaoh to be buried in his pyramid.
And I thought they might get bored...there is no such thing.

Zach
Zach's stomach calmed down and his vomiting stopped a day after I posted about our sick little guy. Then he ate a pancake, his first food in six days. Yee haw! The next day was a bit better, and now his appetite is coming back, and he's drinking fluids once again. Thanks for thinking of us, we are all in the healthy boat once again.
Our house is a real hotspot these days
Some of the kids in our village crossing the creek behind our house to come in the back gate!
