Nature Park and the Apocalypse

Yesterday we took Atticus to feed the ducks! He was more interested in chasing after the ducks and slow geese than feeding them, but we all had a good time anyway.


This is the only picture of his face that I could get. The rest of the time he had his back to me.


One of the dumb geese.


Atticus contemplating what he would do if he caught a duck. My guess is that he would try to cuddle the duck, then pull out some feathers, and then get bitten.


Herding the ducks.

Last night we also experienced what I expect the apocalypse to look like.

It had been super windy all day, and it hasn't rained in a month so all the dust kicked up, and then there was a huge fire out by INL in the afternoon. Around 4 we saw this huge brown cloud rolling toward us, kind of like those old pictures of the dust bowl, except that it was higher up in the sky.


It was amazing how yellow and orange everything looked! Trevor said he felt like he was living in O Brother Where Art Thou.



None of these pictures have been edited at all. This is exactly what we saw when we looked straight up into the sky.

Luckily the fire is contained now, and we're back to beautiful blue skies :) I hope everyone is having a great day! We love you!

Wow! Those pictures are amazing! Ax is such a cute kid. I can't wait to come see you and realize just how big he is since I saw him last.
