spring in their steps

The boys' spring break agenda was fairly simple: catch salamanders.  They headed to Hocking Hills for some outdoor adventuring, while Hank and I stayed home, and it sounds like they caught plenty!  I hated missing it in person, but appreciate seeing - via these images - the way the earth comes back to life this season, the way the boys' spirits come alive outside.

Not a lot of time for words, but

a little bit of a backlog of pictures, so throwing up a bunch for posterity.
