Amy's first catch! Actually Amy didn't want to get anywhere near the wriggling fish. It kind of freaked her out. Note her face in the picture. We all thought it was hilarious.
I recorded Lily laughing at a dorky finger trick I did the other day. Today, when I downloaded the movie off my camera, I let her watch herself. The best part is she laughed almost as hard at herself as she did at the finger trick. Maybe someday people will hire her to go to theater just because her laugh is so cute and contagious. I made a really primitive movie out of the two clips--the original, and the "sequel." This movie is only fifty-one seconds. (So no skipping it, Danielle. : )j
It's not that Eliza doesn't smile--it's just that it's been MONTHS since she's smiled naturally at the camera. So, naturally, I have to milk it for all it's worth.
Despite 100+ temperatures, we went to the zoo, Carl's Jr., Little Caesar's Pizza, the swimming pool x 2, and saw all the Nielsen animals (including dogs, turtle, snake, and 2 tarantulas).
Then don't forget--we also made hair clips (a few displayed in the picture) and just basically enjoyed each others' company. The only exception was that Adam got 2 huge blisters on top of each other from playing morning basketball with Bryce and his buddies 2 days in a row in a pair of poorly fitting shoes.
Just wanted to remind you all not to forget about us when you are planning to go on vacation. Arizona is getting to a very good time to come and visit! We still go swimming quite frequently (and always for free) and it is even cooling off in the mornings. Besides, who can resist that smile?
p.s. You'll have your own room if you come--you can even have 2 rooms and your own bathroom.
