The Podunk Chronicles: April 2010

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

I picked up Ike from school early today and we went for an adventure down to the yacht club rocks - always fun to play with tidal puddles, sticks, seaweed and snails. He is all boy....

As usual, he ended up wet.

The weather Easter weekend was sunny and warm so we spent all day keeping busy with activities and Bing & Kyle's... egg dying, egg hunts, playing with lots of dogs, Easter lunch, family hike in the woods and lots of candy!

at first he was opening every egg to see what was inside

checking out his candy supply (most of which he doesn't like but he loves to idea)

family time

Nilla

Joey

the newest Johnson, little Freddy

a family hike on the property proved to be good exercise for the humans and a good mud bath for the canines.

it has been a rainy spring so there was no lack of muddy water

ike is one with the dogs - as Bing says "if there is a mud puddle that kid is in it"

Daddy's Birthday

It happened to fall on Easter this year so after the Easter festivities we shifted gears from eggs & candy to cake & presents. Happy 36!

Their Back...

Tom & Dana have returned East from Oregon and we are so excited! Ike & Robert were happy to help unload the Penske. They are looking for apartments in NYC and Dana starts her new job next week.

We finally got to meet Joey (right) and Emma (left) is thrilled to have a new buddy.

The Barn

The last month or so the barn has been the big weekend project. The renovation is starting with the front of the barn and that required completely gutting the front of the barn. Ike is the #1 helper and LOVES to 'work on the barn'. I feel like I am always telling people that Ike hangs out and works on projects with Harcourt & Bing and they don't fully understand how into it he gets- these photos say it all.
