Walking home

Here are some pics from yesterday; Sarah actually agreed to walk with me to meet Madi as she walked home.
When will this girl stop growing??  I guess that's what happens when you have a tall dad...

Ah, the pose.  We're getting to the drama age.

And this is why the walk home took so long.  The girl simply cannot leave a dandelion unpicked.  :)

By the way, has anyone ever tried to explain the life cycle of dandelions to an insistent child who refuses to give up or accept "I don't know"?  She just wasn't getting how the flowers turn to the fluff, and - to be totally honest - I didn't exactly know.  We found lots of blooms, and lots of puff balls, but nothing in between.  I had to google it to find out what happens.

For the record, the bloom closes up, the yellow turns to white, and it opens back up into the puff ball that all kids love and all adults (with lawns) fear.  I still don't know much more than that.
