Vacation, week two.

Julia helps landscape by deadheading the flowers.

Luke and Elmo get cozy on the Mall. Luke was beside himself with joy as he encountered Elmo, Hello Kitty (ugh) and a bubble machine all in one place. Who knew?

Pop Pop decided to teach the kids how to do push ups. I don't know why a two and a one year old might need to do push ups, but they are now prepared if a push up crisis arises.

All those push ups make a kid want some ice cream. Julia turned into an attraction on the mall, gathering her own crowd of strangers who marveled at her ability to turn ice cream into a full body sticky suit. Magic.

Aunt Becca and I gave Luke's locks a much needed trim.

Julia practiced her "Jazz Hands" in the garden while Luke looked distinctly uncomfortable at the idea of being photographed in his incredibly stylish Mickey Mouse underwear.

Once the kids had tackled push ups, Pop Pop shared his mad computer skillz with them.

Mom Mom gave a horsey ride ~ one kid per knee in the back yard.
