In no particular order...

Photo's from Dad's phone!

And mom's old phone made useful by Zoe.

A visit to Tamarack

One of Dad's projects.

By the way, sometime in the kindergarten year the thumb sucking and reliance on 'pink polka dot' has fallen by the wayside.

Another Dad project.

Christmas tree boxes!

Winter camp with Dad. One day.

Zoe decorated a gift box for Dad. Trying to discuss it with a well known logo.

Nice.

Skating on the pond.

Helper. And someone who once got her chin pinched in a helmet clip and refuses to put it on again.

Looking forward to FALL. We're going to do Zoo Boo at Como this fall. And know what? The weekends are already getting booked up. BEST time of the year :)

One last hurrah in the water.  We had a hot one yesterday and we went to one of the closest parks to us. I forget about it because it's kind of a weird location.

But on a Wednesday at the end of summer...

When the kids in the neighboring district have gone back to school...

It's not so crowded.

The sign outside the gated area said "Pool Capacity: 129"

I wouldn't want to be there that day. 

But this was awesome. Only a foot deep.

A nice place to go back to next summer.

And it's free.

Got video

Or a computer set up so I can actually watch the video my camera takes. Yipee.

Scattershot

A new tag - scattershot. For those photos I picked out as potential blog material but didn't include for whatever reason. And it probably means no words to go with it, kiddos.
