A lot of different things, all in pictures

We start out Sunday afternoon, with KC taking his sister Shenan out for a shopping event at Jefferson Point.  As you can see, a fashionista she's not.

Best line of the day:  Dad: It's a sunny, warm day.  Why are you wearing a hoodie?  Shenan:  Because we didn't get home till 5 in the morning. Dad:  That would make you tired, not cold.

Moooooving on to the Monday walk, everyone was still out of town after soccerpalooza.  Except some birds...

...and this old man, who spent about twenty yards keeping ahead of us on the trail rather than shooting up a tree.  Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy.  You poor old sod, you see it's only me...

Oh, and this chipmunk who gets a fail in hide-and-seek...

And another squirrel who let me practice my long-distance stuff on him.

Scrappy wanted to turn at the back end of the complex, rather than our usual crossing.  As a result, he missed our first sighting of Mr. Ground Hog since the drought ended.

Today we were at Mounds state park- Scrappy came, too!

The great mound

This was so steep, a couple that was running uphill were bent over trying to run.  The husband said, "Hello!"  The wife said, "Help!"

There were alike a hundred of these little streamlets coming down from the high ground into the White river.

A pair of turkey buzzards across the river.

Scrappy found a cave... well, not so much a cave...

...as an open spot under this massive rock.

Then there was this boardwalk to the bottom of the ravine.

This is the bottom...

...this is Laurie on the bottom.

A lot of puffballs.  I saw one off the trail a ways I swear was the size of a volleyball.

Then lunch at White Castle!!!!

"That was my favorite part!  Mommy and Daddy would give me the sandwich boxes and I was getting my nose stuck in them and I got fries and pickles and Mommy thought she bought me a water but it was Sprite Zero and that was cool too!"
