What's this about March Madness?

We have our own brand of March Madness

around the Loyd place.  Here are some pictorial

portrayals of the variety of fun currently happening.

"Is this cute enough, Grandma?"

"By the Power of Grayskull!"
(for Mommy)

It's a known fact that word games require "brain food."

Grandma's indoor Easter egg hunt is a big hit.

The trick is to think like an Easter Bunny.

Grandma has a full lap at the computer.
Yes . . . Grandma.

All the kids still adore the Jacquie Lawson Alpine
Village Advent Calendar-- and it's 3 months since
Christmas.  A thoughtful gift from a dear friend!

Ev-man learned everything he knows about making
muffins from Grandma.

Hunter is trying to find out what makes
this pop-up egg tick.  Or chirp.

Bri likes to add a difficulty factor to her puzzles.

"Grandpa, is this the 'Bridge to Nowhere'?"

Nope, it was the bridge to adventure.
And this is the bridge that rubber duckies float under.

This little stream is flowing at just the right pace for us.

When ducks or boats plunge over the last waterfall
we retrieve them and do it all over again.

"Grandma, I'm taking the water's temperature."

With two swingers like these, the swing set becomes
a rollicking, reeling adventure playground.

This trike is too tough to pedal on this terrain, but
Hunter persistently propels it down to the field.

It stands to reason that Amanda's children would
invent a game like "Shopping Cart Sweepstakes."

Bri and Hunter also enjoy the stream.  Including
sinking ships and prodding marooned ducks with
sticks to get them going again.

"Can you still see me, Grandpa?"

This yard-sale horsie swing is becoming
more popular.  It needs to be relocated soon,
because its massive limb is dead.  Recipe
for disaster!

Boy on horse, girl on bike.  Who has the right-of-way?
This will be a question for their insurance adjuster.

"Grandpa, you can get this buggy rolling
anytime now, okay?"

"Grandma, you're horsie got littler."

"Well Mommy, I'm in traffic right now and can't
talk.  Let me pull over."

Hunter creates his own Christmas train.
He's the master of the mouse.
"Grandma, I think you need me to clean up
your hard drive.  This thing is slow."

Nothing slow about these

kids.  And my next post will

offer video proof!
