Decorating a rather bewildering cake for one of their friends. (3/1/21)
|
 |  |
Once the cake was done, Lane arranged to deliver it,
along with two daffodils, to celebrate their two year friend-a-versary.
(3/1&2/21)
|
 |  |
After leaving the cake at the top of the stairwell,
they were able to come back downstairs and enjoy chatting across a safe
distance. Their friend excitedly exclaimed, "This cake is my
gender!" upon seeing it. (3/2/21)
|
|
We passed some turkey on our walk. Why won't they join us? (3/2/21)
|
 |
Ah, they were heading the other way. (3/2/21)
|
 |  |

Lee had been wanting to photograph the Wishing Tree, but we'd had trouble finding it on our last walk... (3/10/21)
|
 |
This time we found the tree, and Lee took a perfect picture. (3/10/21)
|
 |  |
Our
walk brought us to the water tower, which is also a hostile alien
spaceship. Fortunately, the aliens are afraid of cameras.
(3/10/21)

Stopping to climb every tree along our way. (3/10/21)

Two
of the best activities: baking and walking dogs. In this
case, vegan lofthouse cookies for a friend, and untangling the dogs
after Avery wrapped her leash in circles around everyone, but
especially Cole. (3/22&24/21)
|
 |  |
Getting out some of that infinite energy. (3/24/21)
|
 |
The pendulums that never stop. (3/24/21)
|
 |
Gray days like this are perfect for finding empty playgrounds. (3/24/21)
|
 |
It's not always clear that Avery wants to be held... (3/24/21)
|
 |
...but Lee loves holding her so much, and she does put up with it. (3/24/21)

Collecting
supplies for a top secret potion to make Sonic run ever faster, because
he needs to run a race against his evil twin. (3/25/21)
|
 |

"oo-rah, do-rah, oo-rah, do-rah" over the potion. Then it has to

Lee prepared a wedding venue for a series of weddings to be performed throughout the weekend... (3/26/21)
|
 |  |
Of course, the weddings were kicked off by Buzz and Woody's renewal of vows. (3/26/21)
|
 |
We
all watched and cheered as Lee performed the weddings. In spite
of much eagerness from the many couples, Lee insisted that dancing had
to wait until all the weddings were done. (3/26/21)
|
 |
"This is String Man." (3/26/21)
|
 |
Lee is very excited to read books about Minecraft. (3/27/21)
|
 |
There
are so many treasures to be found when we walk around our neighborhood.
This is a lovely little spot beside a tiny art gallery.
