Annie's Birthday

We had Annie's birthday party at Jump on it Fun Center. It was pretty fun, and Jen made the cake.

Salamander

We also found this salamander on the tarp, which we wrapped the leaves in to take them to the dump. The salamander was given to Max and Chloe's dad, Kevin. He set it fee.

Leaf Pile

The girls made a leaf pile and jumped around with the neighbor's dogs.

Trading Places

Spotty and William traded places for a little while.

Zoe's Big Leaf

Zoe found the biggest leaf ever when we were near the library. You can see our new door in the background.

Annie's contraption

Annie built this contraption. No tools required. The function is not well defined.

Annie's Zebra

Here, the zebra (seen below) had turned in to a giant spring for hiding in. The zebra also was a tunnel, and a tree trunk, and other stuff at various times.

Annie riding a Zebra

Annie rode this zebra around for a while.

Other Suff in Philadelphia

We took a carriage ride in Philadelphia. Got to see some sights, including a really good lock, and a really small car. Plus a street musician. And a pumpkin, which had a whole story that went along with it, but that's .... another story.

Sculptures in Philadelphia

Tim was attacked by an alligator in Philadelphia. He came back from the attack and got to hang out with Rocky Balboa. We also got to see the Liberty Bell, a moose, and Barry.

Bus Stop

Some girls we know looking through a bus stop window in Philadelphia.

The Park

Our kids plus frequent companions Max and Chloe went to the park together. There was some quarelling, and some happiness.

Pollie

I'm not too sure about the spelling, but this is Annie's pet Polar Bear, named Pollie. Pollie is giving everyone a ride to breakfast, which is cereal and goldfish crackers.

Anne Motorcycling

Annie put on Tim's boots and got to motorcycling. We did not let her get far because she had no helmet.

Wedding Eve Dinner

One of these gals in Annette, the bride at the wedding I recently officiated in Maryland. One of the others is Eden, Annette's new-found sister in law. And the others are Zoe and Annie, who you should be familiar with by now. Zoe and Annie were excited to meet Eden so they would have another person about their same age.

Swimsuit Models

Annie went in the pool one last time today. The rest of the family thought it was a little too cold.

School Bunny

Zoe drew this bunny. The bunny is ready for school with a school book bag and everything.

Worm House

The girls set up some worms in the flower box of their play house.

Friends

Dan did the Half Iron distance, and Amelie did the sprint. Amelie beat Tim by about half an hour or something. But she is young. We'll see how she does when she is ..... older.

Tim's Fan Club

The girls and Jason came out to see Tim not come in last on the run.
