Crayon Making and Cookie Baking

Logan made new crayons today from his old broken ones. He peeled the the paper off and we put them into a silicone mold. We melted them in the oven and let them cool, then popped them out of the mold. Voila! While we were waiting for the crayons to cool, we baked some peanut butter cookies. Crayons in one hand, cookie in the other.

Fallen Leaf Lake

We decided last-minute to squeeze one more camping trip in before a) the summer weather leaves us, and b) Mommy's belly gets too big for sleeping on the ground. We got a site at Fallen Leaf Lake in South Tahoe and had a very mellow family time of hiking, swimming, and s'more making.

Labor Day

Over the long Labor Day weekend, our family went to the Russian River and rented a big house with friends. And even though there were 8 adults, 7 kids (including 2 toddlers and 2 newborns), and 5 dogs, it still felt like a very enjoyable time of relaxation and time with friends :-) Logan and his friend, Astrid, spent most of the weekend sans clothing.

           

         Even the toddlers got to relax poolside...

Good morning, everyone!
