Face Paint - First Attempt

Our first time doing face painting at home. 

Seems to have passed muster with the preschool set!  Though I will be the first to admit that my technique could use some refinement. LOL

Food and Memories

We made these delicious stuffed zucchini boats last night. 

And my memories turned to the summer that my Tante Margit was married. 

There is much more to say on this topic but I just wanted to tell Mom and Margit that I love you, love sharing with you, and love being family with you.

Fun at Home with Cousin Summer

Summer found a tiny (but whole) deer antler. 

More Pool-Time Fun

 Lots of swimming fun these hot days.  

Lemonade races

Biking to the club house

Liv jumping off the side of the pool!
