Joel the Pirate
With proud sister next to him. What did Rachel do with her time before she had Joel to dress up?
How we spent our summer vacation
Took a week off and mostly stayed home.
One day in Phoenix, hot as Hades, for a visit to the science museum, overnight stay at the Residence Inn, and a trip to "Water World"
You are required to like science in this family!
Joel loves balls.
We got to watch a cows eye get cut up as part of a demonstration. Afterwords, the kids were invited up to feel the various parts.
Yay!!
Not to be forgotten is the exotic hotel pool!
100 degrees at night, Whoopee!
Next up: Water World. A mere 110 degrees made getting wet delightful.
After coming back home and really appreciating the Prescott weather, it was time for a camp out in the back yard (on the fake grass no less). This was really fun. Mommy and Joel passed, but everyone else was in to it. I thought the girls would come in after an hour or so, but everyone slept soundly (except Dad). We saw 4 satellites, 3 shooting stars, and were awakened by the sounds of coyotes in the middle of the night.
Finally, we all got together in our grubbies to restain the playhouse.
This was a disaster and not soon to be repeated. Still we had fun...sorta.
That is all, we return to our regular schedule mostly refreshed.

Quotes of the week
Ethan in response to Daddy's comment that he was "acting childish" with his fussing and crying.

After reading about Solomon, in response to the question: "What would you ask God for if you could ask for anything at all"
Ethan: "Wisdom, Knowledge, and for our house to sell."
Rachel: "The fruits of the Spirit."
Abby: "I want one of those little mermaid dolls that can swim."
