The Rock Collector

Since we've moved, one of Piper's favorite activites is rock collecting. You may say she has become quite the connoisseur of rocks. And until our grass seed gets planted next week, all she has to do is walk right out the front door and she's in a virtual rock paradise! On the weekends, especially, we are met with requests on a constant basis all day to "go ous", as being outside is one of her favorite places.

Here's some pictures of the Saturday afternoon rock collecting adventures...

We had to head inside when it started to rain, but Daddy got a shot of the girls on our way in.

It's funny that we haven't yet gotten Piper to wear her raincoat outside when it's raining. However, in celebration of the rain, she wanted to wear her raincoat inside for the rest of the afternoon.

Sunday, we again spent time outside collecting rocks. However, apparently Piper felt limited in her ability to collect rocks the day before, because she went in the laundry room and found a bucket to bring with her. She seemed very pleased with the number of rocks she was able to collect with the bucket.

However things were a bit hampered when she loaded so many rocks in the bucket that it got too "evy". Not to worry, she improvised and used that as an opportunity to assess her stash,

and to practice dumping it out and reloading the bucket.
