Snow

We took a short trip to Lake Chelan right before Thanksgiving. We pulled off the freeway after the pass to look at the snow. It is so much prettier back in the forest!

Mathias Fact #6

Kissing is vile. It's like spitting in someone else's mouth and giving them 50 million germs.

(Mikel said I am to remind him of this when he is a teenager)

Peas and Carrots

Miss E loves her peas and carrots.  She also loves sitting in Mathias' big boy chair to eat and feeding herself.  She is very independent these days.

Zoo Day

We made it to the zoo with Michelle and Maximo last Thursday.  Of course it was raining a bit, but we still had fun, especially the boys.  They did not stop laughing and running the entire time.  Elena enjoyed watching them, but especially enjoyed the carousel with Mimi.

Mathias Fact #5

The nose of a proboscis monkey serves as a resonating chamber.

A resonating chamber is like a guitar, the sound goes in and bounces around to make it louder.

4th of July 2011

On the Fourth we went to A-town's little celebration in the park.  Mathias loved playing laser tag.  He talked about it all year and couldn't wait to do it again.  After our trip to the park we came home for nap time.  Mikel's parents came over to celebrate with a salmon BBQ and a few fireworks.  Later, Mathias and I set off a box of fireworks. I think his favorites were his tanks. I like the ground bloomers.

T eating his favorite food.  A "personal" watermelon is actually about a T sized watermelon.

Papoo and Mathias playing "fishing".  Mathias was the fish.

Mathias Fact #4

The holes in an octopuses' head that look like ears are actually for jet propulsion.
