The Bubble Snake

Saeli is trying out a project called the foamenator from Family Fun magazine. It works beautifully! Simply take an old water bottle, cut the end off, cover with a piece of old towel, secure with a rubber band, dip in bubble solution, and blow gently and continuously...summer fun.

Joshua's baskets

Joshua just turned 12yrs. and had the chance to go to Boy Scout Camp this year for the first time. He says he loved it! Joshua made these baskets to complete a merit badge. He is also finishing one by finding 20 different species of birds. He is having a good summer so far.

To Joshua with love:

Happy Birthday Joshua!!! Today my first baby is 12 yrs old. Joshua is kind and good and helpful and wonderful. I love and appreciate him. I am pleased with the person he is becoming and I hope he realizes how important he is to me and to our whole family. I want everyone to know that Joshua Pecchia is a great guy!!!

Our Dad is always bringing home unusual "livestock" this time it was bees, complete with honey. We had tons of fun learning about how to process our raw honey. It is soooooo good too-Yum!
