Hot day, deliciously cold water

Splish splash I was takin' a slip N slide!

Pawpa and Nana brought it with them and we put it to use immediately!!

Deep fried potatoes snack are called...

Daddy and Blaize keeping cool

Sort of.... We are at the food trucks on Stark. No air conditioning but tons of shade. Kids and Mommy just came from Grant pool. Best. Pool. Ever. So good, no pictures...

Super chic cap technique

She's getting good!

She does bobs where she goes completely under water and then bobs back up!

Francesca practices her strokes

Mommy and Francesca wait happily for her swimming lesson to start

Emphasis on happily...

My name is Francesca and guess how many of these pictures I have taken of myself on mommy's phone?

Dozens and dozens! Just in the last 2 days!!

Ride em' cowgirl and boy!!

Oh yeah, I'm swinging. By myself. So big. So fast.

Picture by Francesca at the breakfast table

Blaize taking a D vitamin from Daddy. He is dressed up as Marta-May. (Well, that's what Daddy calls him...) (Mommy talked him into Ari Blaize clothes underneath.) Believe it or not he wore totally boy boy car PJs to bed. He wanted to wear the nightgown instead of daytime clothes.

On the way to the second swimming lesson at Buckman pool!

Francesca wants to push the new stroller- such a help!!

Almost got it!

Reaching for the stars!

Ok, the monkey bars... But still, inspiring, right??

Lemme tell you something.

Somefing, I should say...

Teacher Kila runs a right ship!

Francesca is rearin' to go! (Blaize and I proceed to Buckman outside play area.)

All rinsed off and waiting for swimming class to start!!

First class of summer 2013!

Nothin' but net...

We LOVED this picture of all the pictures on Nana and Pawpa's fridge!!

So meta...

It's a beautiful day for a submarine tour...

Mommy and Blaize in the torpedo room.

One second later in the torpedo room.

Hard to believe 160 men crammed into this small space and they are lucky if they get one shower a week.

Francesca in the torpedo room.

This sub was featured in Hawaii 5-0 and in the Hunt For Red October. So said our tour guide, Jessica.

We toured the Blueback submarine today!

We have been talking about it for years and we finally did it! It's a diesel sub, not a nuclear one. It was cool. And smelly.

We love OMSI

Blaize cranks the souvenir penny handle

(No, we did not waste 51 cents.)

The triangle puzzle at OMSI

They never tire of the tire swing

F & B share a moment on the tire swing.

Sights for sore eyes!

Mommy went on a 24 hour Baker City work trip ... Gone 24 hours- 11 of them in the car. Whew!

Francesca has 20-20 vision! And no more tears!!

Molly drew a picture of Francesca

Pretty good!!!

Some hide and seek and general frolicking under the Totoro tree...

Saturday fun w/ Meadow and Luna!

Different firetruck but same theme!

This is Francesca being a firefighter @ Wee Village

They love the drop-in child care place called Wee Village...

Happy Father's Day!!!!

Daddy is reading Curious George from the book his dad gave Keili when Keili was 3. Curious George T- shirt from Ellen- such a great Father's Day combo!
