Bubbles, BBQ, and games!
And fizzy drinks, lemon squares, and lotsa cookies.
The kids turned this adorable playhouse into the terrifying spooky house with sound effects and black trash bag hanging in the windows. House of Horrors. The adults who visited fled screaming.

Siggy, the puppy, and the children agree bubbles are good times.




This box had a microscope with slides for the kids to view a fly’s eye up close.



Ivan found a new game to love called Gobblet Gobblers which is like tic-tac-toe with at least twice the strategy – so twice as fun! Enzo introduced Ezri to the pokemon card game. She was all about evolving her zubat.

Ezri and I have decided to call sitting by the pool in deck chairs “freckling.” It is high season for freckles.
Ezri thinks she has more than me. I point out my arms. There is no official count on who is winning the freckle race.
Summer + Ice Cream Treats + Freckling = Win!

Saying goodbye for summer back on the last day of school earlier this month

Lazy River, Pool, Waterslides, Sand Play Area – loving it all!
Much not photographed because water + camera = bad.

Everyone got bowling shoes and bumpers in place.

It’s rolling and rolling and rolling.

Doh! Not what I’d hoped for.

Ezri even got a STRIKE.


Bowling was fun.

Flashback to last month’s PTA sponsored Authorfest book signings.
Ezri really wanted a photo with Tom Watson author of Stick Dog at authorfest.
She dressed up to meet him. Note the velvety dress.
She waited in a long line to see him.
She loves that he usually has a hamburger on his clothing somewhere and teaches kids to draw the stick animal characters from his books.

You can tell by the thick eyelashes and freckles.

Nothing like signing up for this year’s library summer reading program to remind one to use last year’s prize – a coupon for an ice cream cone at Every Day’s a Sundae. These photos are from about a week ago.
Ezri went for Lighthouse Cherry and Ivan went for Superman ice cream. He used to get Blue Moon but ever since an illness coincided with Blue Moon consumption he’s gone Superman.
