At the Museum of Natural History

This herd of elephants was shot by Teddy Roosevelt in the early 1900's and brought back to museum. 

 

If you ever seen it in person, it's astonishing.  Fortunately, museums don't assemble collections by those methods anymore.

Chantilly at Laguna Beach

 

This picture understates how sticky the ice cream cones were.

 

We had to get the wetwipes out right afterward.

Fathers day at Laguna beach

 

This is in front of the tidepools where sand crabs, fish and sea snails all get trapped in between high and low tide.

And yes, that ice cream concoction is as big as it looks.  They call it the Zoo, as it has every kind of flavor underneath all the whipped cream.

Guess how old we are?!?

We can even count to it!

First day of preschool

One of the girls planned her outfit the night before, so that everything would be "just so".

 

The other....not so much.

Air Museum Day

We took the kids to the airplane museum today, and they had a blast.
















If you click on the link, you can see a slide show, but you have to look for it on the upper left.

Kirkwood Lessons

Trying again, if the link didn't work  This was at Kirkwood a couple of weeks ago.

Girls at Boreal Ridge Yesterday

They are the two little kids on the lower right -- who aren't turning.  I have not been to Boreal in 30+ years and was pleasantly surprised by how easy of a drive it was, and how well laid out everything was.  Afterwards we all came home and sat in the hot tub, while a lasagna bubbled away in the oven. 

It was so warm yesterday that the kids were skiing without their jackets!

Kirkwood sledding

From a trip to Kirkwood last weekend.



Click on this link, to see the slideshow.



I can't get the picture link type to work right now.



They had a great time and are ready for more lessons!

Kirkwood ski lessons

Here's the girls going down the forested paths of Kirkwood, with an excellent South American instructor. The clip is 53 megs (!) so it took a lot of machinations getting it out of one phone, and onto here. 4 or 5 data transfers!


Wealthy Argentineans come up to US ski resorts to work the idyllic life as ski instructors (since its summer time down there) practicing their English, and trying to meet girls. Although I guess they're usually looking for 24 year olds, rather than "almost" 4 year olds.
