Girl Scout Day Camp

Mimi and I attended Girl Scout day camp last week.  Thankfully it's in the shade mostly so we weren't melting from the heat.  Yoda was able to attend the 'brother camp' so we saw him a lot too.
Here are some photo highlights...

 

Pancakes

As Yoda helped mix the pancake batter on Sunday he said, "Sure looks like pancake sauce!"

*******************
Mimi is doing track again this summer.  It's a chance for her to learn something new in a low pressure environment.  They don't compete against any other school, it's supposed to be --dare I say-- FUN?

Little did I know how competitive it was going to be after all...

A disappointed girl on Mimi's relay race team, "Mom, we got second!"
her mom, "oh, that's OK, you'll do better next time.." 

Mimi, "Mom, we got second!"
Me, "that's great!"

She then mentioned that Mimi might not be coordinated because she grew so tall so fast!  Ugh, seriously, what does she know?!  She's uncoordinated probably because she's related to me, ha ha...

In other news we got a new computer, and Greg built it with parts he got at the computer store.  

 Yoda was fascinated by the mechanics of putting pieces together. 

Parker, though, was offered $20 to put all our computers and the printer on a network.
(Parker is not usually swayed by money, but I think the computer challenge was fun for him.)

From the files...

Happy Birthday, America!

Found some quotes from our vacation last summer:


**********
Yoda, trying to take pictures of the Smoky Mountains, "I want to take pictures of the mountains, but the trees are so blocky!"

**********
Yoda seeing this:

Yoda, "I saw the Lizard of gecko"

Yoda saw this and wanted to get some dinner:


Yoda, "We can go to the pepper store!"

While planning what we will do at Disney World
Me, "are you worried about meeting a princess?"
Mimi, "I'm not afraid"
Me, "I mean, are you hoping to meet one?"
Mimi, "Well, what do I do with them?"

**********
Me, "Nice hair cut"
Yoda, "it looks like I have a crown.."
