While Story and Cadence were napping today Lyric was having some grapes for a snack. I was at the computer. She came into the room with a handful of seeds that she wanted to plant. Seeds? Where did you get seeds? Oh, you dug them out of the grapes (the seedless grapes). Okay. Plant them? Uh, let's call Daddy he knows much more about this kind of thing... Daddy says we need some potting soil and we can plant them in a cup. You want to plant them outside? Of course we don't need potting soil there is plenty of dirt outside.
We'll let you all know when our grapes start producing:-)

Cadence tried to keep up with her sisters as usual.
We walked down to the lake to do some exploring.
Lyric and Daddy discussed which rocks were best for skipping.
Daddy had to demonstrate the perfect rock skipping technique.
Story threw some rocks in the lake. Yes, I think she was trying to find the biggest ones on shore. I'm surprised they didn't carry her little body in with them!
We decided to feed the ducks the leftover french fries we had. I thought the girls would really enjoy feeding them, but they almost knocked me down trying to get away from the little beasts! 
Can you blame them? Geese can be really scary.
We found a turtle shell and much to daddy's surprise I suggested we bring it home. I will be sure to post pictures when we get it cleaned up.
When Lyric was up the tree we thought it would be cute to get Story to climb up to get a picture of the both of them. Lyric was ready to get down and did her best not to "freak out".
Story really didn't get the fact that we wanted them both in the tree. She climbed up to the spot where Lyric was and said,"Excuse me Lyric, will you please move?" I really don't know where she thought Lyric could go:-)
After the tree climbing we decided to try to take a picture of all three girls together. People wonder why we never have a picture of all of them together. Well just have a look and you will understand!
I saw the idea to make ice burgs for the girls bath on a blog somewhere and I just had to try them. So easy and what fun for the kiddos.
The food coloring also turned the water blue, so that made for some extra excitement.
Two things you don't want to do if you try this:
1. Don't use toys that float. (See the frog sticking out of the ice burg in the top picture.)
2. If you use a matchbox car be sure to take it out of the tub when the kiddos are done playing with it. matchbox car + little hinney = bad combination

Cadence had a really good time trying to keep up with her big sisters.
We took a picnic (our 3rd for the week), no geese this time! Although, there was a bird that kind of freaked Story out.
Lyric enjoyed some PB&J.
Story did some hanging around.
The big girls had a good time in the tire swing.
I think smashing the graham crackers for the pie crust may have been 
The kiddos had a good time eating out on the porch.
Pumpkin pie for dessert before playing in the backyard!
J got these great pictures of the girls in the hammock.
We had never done this before, so I thought they would enjoy it. They liked watching it pop through the lid, but I decided to make it even more fun by taking the lid off. It was hilarious. You would be surprised how high that popcorn could pop! 
We had popcorn all over the kitchen. I thought we could do some art with the popcorn by gluing it to construction paper. The girls weren't really into the art part. They ended up eating some of it and feeding the rest to the birds. 
The girls were terrified, but they figured out a solution, just sit on top of the table:-)
I can't say that I blame them. Those geese are some pretty ugly creatures!
When the girls realized the geese just wanted food I had a hard time keeping them from throwing their whole lunch to them. The birds were hungry, too!
After we ate, the girls played on the play scape for a while.
Miss Cadence was pretty proud of herself for climbing up!
We had a good time exploring the park.
