It's a MAD House

S0 we've had a good few weeks. The kids got out of school mid-June and we headed on a 'business trip' (poor BB) to Northern Cal. We celebrated D-man's 5th birthday there but really partied when we got home.
That's probably too many kids to fit in a pool but, miraculously, the water never turned yellow... Santa Cruz


Sometimes, I think there's a lot to be said for peer pressure. Anush probably would have never dared jump off the diving board if she wasn't with her cool and older friend, Ally. Yay Ally! Yay Anush for going for it..
Happy Birthday U.S.A. Our neighborhood likes to party and July 4th (or 3rd in this case) is a great excuse. The kids started the festivities with a bike parade...
