Weeks 34 and 35 included Palm Sunday and Easter. Here is Gemma, ready to sing Hosanna.
Once a week, my husband takes Gemma to a state park, to meet up with a group of friends, so they can tinker and explore. Over my spring break, I got to take her. I had such a good time watching her and the other 4 and 5 year olds playing on the other side of the creek.
While we were there, I saw this...
It's a male belostomatid: a giant water bug. A female belostomatid laid her eggs on his back, and he's now got to carry them around until they hatch!
There were also rusty tussock moth caterpillars all over the place.
This one was crawling around on the adding machine the kids were using screwdrivers to disassemble.
Over spring break, we visited family.
Here is Gemma, at Grandma and Poppa's, using binoculars to observe a dove in the nest above the birdhouse on the patio.
Grandma thought it would be a good idea to learn how to twist balloon animals. I am now an expert balloon-dog-maker.
...and Gemma spent lots of time in the jacuzzi.
Back at home, Gemma made soap...
Six of our pots of bulbs sprouted!
Gemma went to the Renaissance Faire, but more on that in a future post...
