A Phenomenal Day!

We went out today...Daddy wanted to do some metal-detecting, so we went to an old house site, and he searched for a while.

This is the view to the north of where we were.


Emma dressed up so I could make some pictures she could send to her pen-pals.

She wanted a picture of her with her little sister to send, too. ; )

And we were SO scared by this opossum! He came up the road just as the girls were coming down the road. They jumped over the bank and ran...well, Anna ran, Emma rolled down the bank. He *followed* them, coming to within about 10 feet of us, before turning back and then Daddy threw a rock and splashed water on it and it went on up the road.

Further up the road there's a house with lots of cats, and when we passed it the opossum was out in front eating cat food with a cat. I suppose it's a pet...but still scary when you're not sure and thinking of rabies. ; )

'Twas an awesome day, though...Daddy found three pocketknives, a penny, some sort of copper tag, and a spoon. He likes those kinds of things. ; )

Anna found another deer skull (she seems to have some sort of radar), and she and Emma climbed to the top of the waterfall.

I, of course, got to take lots of pictures with my new camera...I LOVES IT!
