More March

The week after Oma and Opa left we started a new way of life with the Covid-19 restrictions.  The children started online school.  With the kids on the computers so much I was eager for getting us out of the house and taking lots of nature walks.  Climbing trees.

Picking pretty flowers.

Finding turtles.

A beautiful walk in some woods.

Where Evelyn spotted a copperhead!

Mike and Isaac built this fun contraption together.  

We tried a plant based “brat.”  It wasn’t bad.  Cover anything with mustard and relish and it’s going to taste like a sausage.  And I made the buns!  So fancy!

Our first real Covid-19 Saturday we drove an hour to Brazos Bend State Park. (On our drive we stopped at a Buccee’s gas station.  It’s the only public place the kids have been in weeks.  They were so excited!)  The park was beautiful!  We walked for 2 hours around a big lake.

We saw 7 alligators, all at a distance. We were told if we went on a sunny day (that day was very overcast) we’d see way more alligators and much closer to the path!  Next time!  I love the moss on this big tree.

Check out this spider eating a caterpillar!
