It was a beautiful day today! We had a quiet morning, reading the paper, building robots, writing scripts, and doing the things we do at home on the weekends. This afternoon we decided to take advantage of the beautiful summer-like weather and go golfing!
Eve, wearing a jump rope as a belt in case she gets bored of golfing.
Lex, still golfing like a hockey player.
I’m pretty sure they were using the gross pond water to cool off. I probably should have stopped them, but instead I snapped a picture and told them to come back to the green.
I always love “looking up” pictures of my kids. Someday I’ll learn the proper photography term for this angle.
We made it half way through the course then we ran out of time and patience, so we ditched it and headed for ice cream instead!
Yummy!!
After ice cream it was time to drop Lex off at his Lego League. While he did that, Alan, Eve and I headed to an awesome rock store called Gemstar. Mema discovered this place a few days ago and it was so cool she wanted to go back and take us along. So we went. And we loved it!
I think this is called selenite. Correct me if I’m wrong. It looks like firewood, but really it’s a rock! Very cool.
We met Mema, G’Tom, Carl, and Kathy there and we all bought a few cool rock products – even Alan! It’s definitely a store we will return to!
Eve and Carl. :)
Awesome uncle. I wish he could still spin me like that!
We said our goodbyes and headed home for a proper night-before-school evening. I wish we had more summer vacation and family visiting and time for fun and exploration!
Notice all the different picture formats? I officially have too many picture-taking devices. I find myself using less of my camera and more of my phone these days. I like it for convenience, but I’m going to have to figure out the photo organization because I have an awesome system going for pictures from my camera, but ones from my phone aren’t organized at all. How’s that for a first world problem!? Then I ask Alan to take a group picture and he insists on using his phone! Too many devices!
