A Weekend in May

The kids' garden club project for May was an adorable wind chime made out of  metal bottle caps and an upside down decorative metal watering can.  We spent a lot of time getting this one done, but it was a lot of fun and worth it when you see the end product!  

J was really proud of it and couldn't wait until Mother's Day to give it to his Mom, so she got it later that day.  

Here you see Mr. GV getting attacked by J right after he came home from work.....Well, they were actually having a fun "Uncle-back ride."  

We pulled out the Stomp Rocket.  Yes, it's cheap crap from China (or CCFC as we refer to it in this household) but oh so much fun!  The rockets glow in the dark but we have yet to be out there after dark to give it a try.  

The next day, with his mom at work, J and I hung out at the town fountain, 

and had a picnic lunch.  

The days were really starting to warm up, so Milo was glad for the large concrete water bowl I put in the backyard, just for him.  (Ha!)
