lil ho down

This was a great lil ho down. We bought some straw hats, and badges. We also accumulated as many brown grocery bags as possible, turned them unside out, cut some holes for heads and necks, and then cut some frill on the bottom. We then let the kids "customize" their own jackets. We had cow […]

vita-mixers beware!! skin graft to the rescue

One morning very early i went outside and picked a few limes, and a papaya. I went inside, got some carrots, strawberries, ice, honey, and concentrated apple juice.

Fourth Of July

The morning activities for the Fourth we decorated our stained white shirts with some stars and a shakka. The girls loved painting, it was hard to tear them away to go out. We found that on the 4th many stores have great deals, especially the fixup stores (which we will need soon). So we visited […]

We enjoyed nice conversation hiking up and a refreshing swim at the top and it was nice and cool hiking down. I can't believe we have never been hiking in our […]
