Suited up

Max picked out quite an ensemble for summer camp

Picking up donuts for daddy

8 year wedding anniversary 

They're back!

Back to camp! (with Mufasa)

Back to the playground!

"Plane!"

Kira dressed herself in Max's shorts!

...while Max dressed himself in his coaching clothes and watched the Olympics.  He asked if the red team was the Cougars.

Post-game wrap with with the coach

Beach bums

Max and Kira love the beach!

On the road

These two were on their best car behavior ever on the way to New York

Baseball game

"Where's Derek Jeter?!"

Ducks!

Number 1! (Otherwise known as killing time during a rain delay)

Serious about her ice cream, but not very neat 

All dressed up with no place to go

Max has been donning his "work clothes" since 5am (around the same time he "sweat" to much in his pjs).  Kira got gussied up to play along for an early morning outing for laundry detergent. 

Portrait of a grown man in a car seat

Two simultaneous car smiles hardy lasted the whole way home from the bagel store.  These kids hate the car. 

"Her shoes are rotten!"  Max screamed as he sniffed Kira's rancid shoe.  He is correct.

Growth spurts

Everyone has gotten taller since March!

Favorite meal

No more babies here.  Except the Hello Kitty cats everywhere. 

Peek-a-boo! "Hattie!" Kira screamed (sans the letter "t") as she reenacted their play date

Water play at summer camp 

Blood, sweat, and smiles

Kira banged her chin on the playground but she would not let the non-stop gush of blood stop her from playing.  

Her post-nap shirt also got blood stained, but she did not mind.  She loved pointing out all the familiar faces on this new poster.  "Max! Max!  Max! Daddy! Max!..." She still does not say her own name, but plenty (more than half!) of the pictures were of her.

Max has been free of his night diaper for a whole week!  He was handsomely rewarded with exactly what he begged for- "work shoes", which he thinks look mighty fine with his outfit.  His shoe collection is quickly becoming the largest in our house.  

Dinner date with his favorite kids meal book series 

Bedtime dress up

Where's Kira?

Mouse mania

Kira's other love interest

Max was looking for some super hero books at the library 

Sweet teeth

Max takes a lap around the food court for tooth pick samples and usually decides on Chinese food.  "I love orange chicken because it tastes so sweet like candy!" Max explains.

How big is Kira!?  She was closely guarded once the carousel actually started moving and she cried when it was over.

Kira took 20 minutes to eat half of a bite size piece of chocolate.  She spent the next 15 minutes cleaning it off her face.

Turns out she needed more time and more wipes.
