The kids are happy to be home, walking in their woods, near their lake (Puget Sound).

A very nice half-rack
Under other circumstances, I’d have been much more excited to acquire this trophy.

Unfortunately, I acquired this rack in one of the most expensive ways.

Baked Alaska
Baked Alaska. Recipe via Epicurious.com. Note to self, use the small ramekins only. No reasonable person can eat one otherwise. But, it sure is fun trying!
Daddy, can I use your nail polish?
Kayla: Daddy, may I use your nail polish?
Me: Why don’t you use mommies?
Kayla: It doesn’t match.
Me: Uh, okay.
Now Kayla has one hand that is purple and one that is pink. The toes on her left foot are blaze orange and the toes on her right are cherry red. In my view, her toe colors exactly match the colors of polish and/or duct tape I use to mark my climbing gear. In her view, having blaze orange toes on the left foot and cherry red toes on the right is a perfect match.
Serving up Summer Time
All loaded into the van and heading for the beach!
Life Lessons
“Daddy, can I have some brown cake?”
“Brown cake, I inquired?”
“Yes, the one you brought home,” Lucas answered.
“Sure,” I answered, as I watched him grab one. Not wanting to miss out, Kayla came running and grabbed one too.
“Take a small bite,” I cautioned as they both took big bites, and proceeded to spit them out on the floor.
“Ewww, what is that?” they asked, between sputters.
“Coffee grounds from the expresso machine.”
