Hiking Date

Papa and Mama went on a hiking date in July (no kids). We decided to hike a nearby trail in the Adirondacks--the Bear Creek Trail at Cranberry Lake. Here's the view.

Daddy-Daughter Date

Back in June, we had an Activity Day for just the girls and their dads. They had a 3-legged/handed race that included eating jello without using your hands. They also got to race for musical chairs and dance their way out of musical freeze. Later, they had pizza and cupcakes. Panda and Papa had a grand ol' time!

Popsicle stick and whipped cream--what a mess!

 



 

Ha, ha, ha! I've got you now, Daddy!

Poodle-dee-doo

Panda's 4th grade concert had a 50s theme, and the kids were asked to dress up in period costume. Mama has a friend who is a costume designer, and her friend graciously agreed to make a poodle skirt for Panda (we just paid for the material). Panda got to decorate the doggy herself. The concert was a success, and Panda had a lot of fun doo-wop'n and twistin' and shoutin'!

Honey Bear Turns 2

Our little Honey turned 2 in April. Oh, the places she'll go!

 

She loves music, and she loves her daddy!

 

Oooooh! Aaaaah! 

Forget the wish, I'm going for the frosting--NOW!

 

Mmm...frosting. And ice cream.

 

Sticky sweet Honey Bear!

Panda's No-smoking Project

Panda Bear had to complete big no-smoking project for her 4th grade class. She worked very hard, and with a little help from Mama, made this stupendous poster. She got an A!

Trained

A few months after the fairy prince incident, Cinnamon had finally trained her little bro to wear dress-up clothes. (It's not so bad, as long as he doesn't have to wear wings.)
