We are back!

Okay, after a summer hiatus and complaints from relatives, we are back to blogging on a regular basis.

During the summer, the Shipley Nature Center would have special evening hours every Thursday. We had never been, and we were amazed at how large and beautiful it is, with long trails and diverse flora. Alex and his cousin Leila loved visiting throughout the summer. Here are some pics from one of the visits in July:



These kids never stay still




Finally in July, Opa and Oma went on a long trip to Holland. They brought back Alex a pirate costume:


That's it for July. We'll post August later in the week.
