A few days after tax season

Tax season is a busy time for Keith. He works hard from January all the way through mid April. When Drew survived his first tax season we all went up to Palomar mountain for the day in Doan Valley. There is a little pond and creek. It is a relaxing break from the city and it is during spring. There are baby animals. Being that I used to live by a pond as a little girl, I love to see the tad poles and the frogs. And I really could stare at the little fish for a long time.

This year Keith and I needed to get away from all the noise and enjoy some family time so we went up to Palomar Mountain again. We went to the pond and there were a few families fishing. One family in particular had two little girls, one being close to Drew's age. She was friendly and started following us around. We were at the pond trying to find frogs and looking at the fish. All the sudden Drew was in the pond. And like a little trooper he got up and didn't cry. We didn't have to go home because he was cold. He didn't complain one time.

I love to see the animals and new plants popping out of the ground.

I got to try one of my new filters on the waterfall.
