Art Institute - here we come!

OK - I don't even know where to begin. I did NOT see this one coming from Nora. At all. I would have never in a million years pegged HER to be the artist, but here they are - her drawings from last night. With ZERO help from Mark and me.....she drew these 2 awesome faces. And these are just two examples. She did it all night! Amazing.

Right???? Crazy.

KC Zoo

Well, Saturday was supposed to be relatively cool, so we decided to go to the KC Zoo. Well, it ended up being hotter than we thought. But you can't tell from Iris' face as she enjoyed watching Nikita the Polar Bear swimming her laps.

Here are Nora, Iris, and their new girlfriend watching Nikita. If you look in the water to the right, you can see her diving. The girls loved watching her.

Nora has a bird's eye view for the sea lion show. Best seat in the house!

You can see the heat starting to take its toll. Red faces, but still having some fun.

Our noble chariot. Daddy's a champ to push them all over the zoo.

Snack break!

Sandcastle-mania!!!

FINALLY, the heat broke in Kansas City. We were able to get out and enjoy some beautiful sunshine at the park.

Iris was building some sandcastles and giggling on the swings.

This is messy.

Nora B is a champion builder.

More Lake Pics!

Lake Weekend!

We had a great lake week! Grumpy even helped us catch fish! Here's Nora learning how to reel 'em in!

Alright! She caught a whopper!

Iris had the first catch of the day!
