My Little Artists

With this great weather, we moved the painting easel outside, so I wouldn't stress out about the mess. The kids were so excited and blew through the paper and paint like crazy. I have a stack of about 50 paintings that I have no idea what to do with. These pictures, in Matthew's words, are "Me and Daddy riding on a giraffe." and, "Me and Daddy and a beanstalk and a sun."

Summer Heat

With record temps around here, we've had to get creative to find ways to stay comfortable and of course, entertained. We went through hundreds of popsicles during the last few weeks, even found a local place that sold REAL Hawaiian Shave Ice and visited our friends who live on the beach. It's in the distance, but here is a picture of Matthew's first fishing trip with our friend, Mike. They were out in the canoe for over 2 hours on the 100+ degree day. Best place to be, probably.
