Hot Day in July

July 8th. Another HOT, desert day!

Sparklers

July 4th

Sparklers, in their jammies, on the back patio. Sounds like a CLUE murder mystery, SOLVED.

For the BIG SHOW everyone but Esther and Me went to the Fireworks show at the river. E and I went to bed. We had a great time and so did they. In Kennewick, fireworks are not allowed. Didn't figure that sparklers really counted as fireworks so we did those!

Hot enough for Water Play

Esther with a particularly devilish look here...

Filling the wee pool to the brim.

Esther & the Sock Monkey

Esther has taken a liking to this cute, old sock monkey. It was mine when I was a child. I still love it but I think Esther loves it more.

Rabbit Show

Avi's first Rabbit Show in Moses Lake. Skipper won quite a few ribbons, but then he was the only Himalayan rabbit there. It was a GREAT and positive experience for Avi and built her confidence for further shows. She'll have Skipper in the fair here this year. We're already registered so between Aug. 24th and the 28th we'll be hanging out at the fairgrounds in the Rabbit Barn. Big fun. Hot and Dirty.

I'm looking forward to it. :-)

The Kids' Catch

These are the rainbow trout that the kids caught. We panfried them the same evening after Liberty's birthday party. They sure made a yummy dinner. This is my HUGE cast iron skillet so that big fish you see was REALLY big. The kids were really proud to provide dinner.

Tootin' some horns.

Three of the silliest kids in all creation.

Esther likes chocolate cake too. Who doesn't, right?
