Brennan at Scotty's Castle

Brennan was disappointed that he wasn't allowed inside. He tried breaking in by himself. The rest of us were content to enjoy the grounds.

Ghost town!

We spent a morning checking out Rhyolite, a ghost town in Nevada near Death Valley. Weston is posing in front of a miners cabin which collapsed sideway leaving the roof mostly intact.

We're tired!

They couldn't resist the lull of the highway after a long exciting hike up Titus Canyon in Death Valley.

Pairs of pears

Fun in the art studio today.

Half Birthdays

Since Weston and Brennan have a summer Birthday, they celebrated their half Birthday at school this week.

Watercolor

Painting together. Each at our own-sized table.

Family shopping

All aboard the cart on a Home Depot shopping trip buying the rug for the garage.

Lisa's new artist studio

Finally the garage got the good cleaning it was overdue for
last New-Year's.

Pizza toss

The chef at Amici's provided top-rate entertainment for the whole family tonight. Standing ovations all around!

Hiking in Ohio

We headed to Highbanks for a misty afternoon hike. Weston and Brennan hunted for wood to build a fire and David helped them 'light' it. We woke up a snoozing deer, got a close up view of a red tailed hawk, and spent almost 2 hours exploring the warm visitor center.
