Flying volcanoes and frog touching

Off to explore the limestone quarry trail

We have officially entered that strange limbo period before a big move where everything is in constant balance between complete normalcy and complete chaos.  Soon, the scales will tip, and chaos will reign.  But for now we are at least still able to get out on our regular adventures, and snatch moments where it is just a typical day-to-day (despite, for instance, the fact that dressers are completely empty or that strangers are constantly tromping through our house). 

So today, I present those moments of normalcy, peppered with some inspired reporting from the fine journalists of juniperandlinden.org.  They were clearly very inspired to make a comeback this week.  Enjoy!

Cleaning out long-forgotten corners means finding long-forgotten treasures (such as unopened playdough)

Courageously walking along an old (tall!) limestone foundation

 An impromptu trip to Shirley's Bay resulted in an inevitable progression:

1. Jumping from boulder to boulder

2. Adventuring a little farther out...

3. And finally, stripped down to nothing but undies.  Hard to have fun in the water when you're fully clothed!

A typical day around here: superhero studies about dinosaurs on the couch, while fairy princess dances to her violin repertoire CD:

Also, I highly recommend the THREE instructional videos on offer this week, (which will also be archived at the official juniper and linden journalism site, available HERE):
