We had our block party recently and Zpuppets performed. As you can see they were a hit. We’re excited they just moved into the neighborhood.

I brought some dry ice for fun experiments.

Lewis came up to me and reveled in how delicious the chicken was. It was smoked all day by our neighbor. “Papa, this is like a dream,” he said when he had a piece of watermelon AND delicious chicken on his place.

We had our third annual hot dog party at Lake Harriet park recently and, as in previous years, kids ended up making dams and rivers of mud.

Jessica went away for her first three day overnight trip to a meditation retreat. And I'm happy for her and was also scared. Anyway, long story short, I'm laying in the RV camper borrowed from our neighbor camping with the four kids. Some mild Moments of panic but overall a fun nearly relaxing time. More pix later!
