But first, this! I found this at the store the other day and since we have a long Utah drive coming up I went ahead and got it. Then I thought that if matching up animals was fun, imagine how much more fun it would be to match up themselves! So I put this one together. It turned out so cute I made another one with pictures of all of the Atkinson aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
I decided to take the kids to the beach since it was super hot (97 in Portland). They have more fun (and fight less) with extra kids there so I invited another family. The parents were busy and couldn't come, so I took as many of their kids as I could fit (they have 8 all together) and everyone had a great time. My kids mostly just watched their older kids build castles, and they were fascinated that if you dig a really deep hole you get water in it. Not so fascinated that they were willing to help, of course, but they spent a good hour watching.
Traffic was terrible on the way there--they picked the hottest day of the year so far so shut down 1 lane of a 2-lane highway. Anyway, we were stopped here for a while before I realized what this was on the side of the road--a guillotine!
