it was a pigtail day

mama got a new hat for our weekend away!

Fun dinner at the beach club

About red velvet cake, Jane said “it looks like FIRE!”

Trying to fly a kite with Faye and Trisha with almost no wind

Fun with Jem at The Meadow (at Silver Lake)

Gymnastics and diving: riveting!

just hanging on the porch

Porch time with Papa

Swing!

Jane made an Olympic torch at the art table at the club today

No one else in the universe could recognize it, but Jane wrote her name on the top of her coloring paper at the art table at the club today! (and then she promptly drew a line through it)

Getting warm after a swim at the club. Thank goodness for endless dry JC towels!

Thurs a.m. book before Papa goes to work

Where’s Jane? (We saw kids band Lucky Diaz at Descanso Gardens tonight)

Jane’s been wanting to make aqua-colored play dough for a while now, so we finally did it today. It came out more like teal, but we’re calling it aqua. (also bear with me; still figuring out new camera!)

Jane “helped” water the plants, plus playing with the hose is a good way to cool off!
