Squash Hill

Alice loves being outside so whenever it's nice outside (not very often anymore!) we go out and let her play. Her favorite places are the flower beds in the front yard where there are rocks galore to throw around and this hill which is in the back near the fields. It's actually just a pile of wood chips. We're assuming it's been there a long time because there is squash vine growing out of the pile. Alice likes to climb up the "mountain" and then roll the squash down (with dad acting as the fetcher of the squash).


As you can see, Alice has crazy bangs right now, which really bother me. I just don't see how anyone could stand living with hair in their eyes 24/7 but apparently Alice enjoys it because she rips out any and all hair clips, rubber bands, etc. I try to put in her hair.


Here is an action shot of Bruce throwing the squash up to Alice. We tried cooking one when we first got here but there just wasn't enough meat on it to make it worth the effort. It was tasty though, what little there was.
