| After swimming lessons, Abe, Helen and Gibson like to go to the park next to the pool and play. |
 |
| There's a splash pad at the park so they can get a double dose of water. Gibson stays far away from the water, but he likes to push the buttons that turn the sprinklers on. Abe and Helen are making great progress in learning to swim. Abe can thrash through the water pretty well doing a front crawl. Helen goes completely under water at least once a lesson. |

| Sophie gave our zucchini a little personality before Becky grated it up and turned it into zucchini bread. Does that make it vegicide? |

| We love using our fire pit, but we don't always feel like roasting super sweet marshmallows. This week we looked around the kitchen for alternatives and tried roasting a sliced peach. It was pretty tasty-- the water content kept the peach from catching fire and the skin crisped up nicely while the pulp got warm and juicy. Sophie put a marshmallow on the end of her roaster to keep her peach slice from falling into the fire. |

| Thursday and Friday marked the high point of the Perseid meteor showers. We slept outside Friday night, hoping to catch a glimpse despite the ultra bright street lamps in our neighborhood. We didn't see any meteors Friday night. Brandan and Becky woke up before dawn on Saturday (Becky got cold and woke Brandan up) and we saw several meteors shoot across the sky. Pure magic. |

So great that the kids are becoming good swimmers. It's really cool that you were able to sleep outside and get a glimpse of the meteor shower. I always loved "camping" out back. :)
I just like the pace of your life. I hope things are as peaceful as they sound and that your calling is going well too. Thanks for always commenting on my blogs! I'm always so glad for your perspective.
We got the kids up on Thursday night to watch the meteor shower too. There wasn't too much to see though. They only lasted 20 minutes or so before falling back asleep.
Your zucchini look so healthy and great. We failed miserably with our garden this year.
You vegetable murderer you!! I love it! How cool to see a meteor shower.
What a cute little veggie!
The park looks so beautiful and Helen appears almost as tall as Abe in that photo.
