Hot Time Summer In The City...
My sister-in-law, Cheri, and her three kids (Sam, Anna Beth, and Elise) came to visit us from Kentucky for a week in July. It was really great seeing them again, and it was a lot of fun having more little kids to tease!
We did some fun family outings with Grandpa and Auntie Lonni including a Sea Safari around Howe Sound in a large Zodiac-like boat. That was a hoot! We saw seals and other wildlife, we did tight exhilirating turns, and we went into the Georgia Strait and battled some bigger waves. I was really proud of my kids, they had a great time (and no one puked - bonus!). We also went to the Vancouver Aquarium one of the days. The dolphin show was fun and put a smile on everyone's faces. The Beluga show, on the other hand, demonstrated that they are big and white and can swim around. Yawn. One of the final days together, we did a summer birthday party for Kylan and 2 of his cousins. Mike's Critters came and showed off a variety of animals for the kids to pet and prod and ask questions about. The python was a hit, as well as the large guinea pig. I think the python liked the guinea pig too (he kept licking his lips). It was a great week!
In other news, Kylan and Luke have been thirsting for knowledge recently. Ky asked me, "How come they made 2 kinds of peas? The pea you can eat and the kind that comes out of your peni... your body?" I didn't have a good answer. And Luke came into the bedroom at 5:44am carrying a jug of milk from the fridge. Maybe not thirsty for knowledge, but he was definitely thirsty....
