Yoga and Money

First yoga - seems that Carter is learning yoga at school. He decided today to teach Jenna how to do it. It was hilarious! Wish I'd had my camera. He did a tree pose and he sat on the floor, put his hand together and raised his arms over his head. Then he closed his eyes and did some "Oooommmmssss". Jenna looked at him like the crack pot he is.

Second money - Carter say a glider today on the way home from school. The kind where there's actually two gliders facing each other. He took a few minutes to fully explain it to me making sure I understand that you sat on one side and your friend sat across from you with your head at the same height as their head and you could talk and swing and have fun with your friend. I explained to him that I thought those were super cool but that they're also super expensive. He thought for a moment and said we should go back that store that gives us all of that free money. He was disappointed to learn that there is no store handing out free money. Trust me, if there was, Carter, your Momma would be first in line to get her (and you) some.

Vacation 2009

Photos from vacation in Michigan on Lake Huron. It was fantastic fun!!!!!

We had a fake birthday for Carter. We didn't want to buy a cake from Walmart, so we talked Carter into having donuts for his "birthday cake". His party was at a beach near the place where we stayed. It was really windy. Can you tell he was excited?:

Then it was Athena's turn for her real birthday. We ate dinner at a restaurant called the Angry Bull. It was the best food we've eaten out in quite a long time. The waiter was excellent and he came up with this for a surprise for Athena:

Can you see how cool she thought her cheesecake was?

After that we returned to our rental house and decided to have a bomb fire near the beach. We found a bakery open on her birthday, but no cakes. She had the best time picking out little pastries that she thought everyone would like to try. She asked that we cut them all up into equal pieces and she served them. It was all scrumptious!

Athena's best birthday present is her new bike that she picked out:
