On Saturday, Uncle Tuck also had a chance to play with Porter outside. They took Porter’s white styrofoam glider out into a sunny but windy day. The glider may not have flown straight, but they had a lot of fun.

Porter and his styrofoam glider.

Getting ready for the first flight.

Taking a runny.

Then rearing back.

Tuck and Porter walk off into the sunset to retrieve the glider down the hill.

“Hey Tuck! Can you take me for a ride?”

“Okay, are you ready, Alice?”

“Up we go!”

“And away we go.”

Swingtime for Alice.

Ever since Easter, Alice has been getting into the baskets and playing with the plastic eggs. The other day she put her breakfast of strawberries in them and ate them out of the egg.

The golden egg has a strawberry center.

“Yummmmm. Strawberries!”

“Hey, strawberries taste better out of an egg!“
