Summer

Yesterday was the summer solstice, and summer has landed on the funny farm. The veggies are growing and the slugs are beginning to shrivel.

Ari is enjoying her one week of vacation before summer quarter starts at the college. Her enjoyment involves lot of sleeping in.

Alex has finished up his junior high class and is also taking some time to kick back for a week. His slacker moments seem to involve lots of Nintendo products. I think I'll assign him a book to read. (Wahaha - evil laugh!)

Anni is going to her first week of gourmet cooking camp. As it's several towns over, I'm going too. This week, she's learning to make international cuisine. Yesterday, Anni made Sesame garlic marinated chicken with rice and Chinese custard tarts, from scratch! Delish! Today, she made lasagna and Tiramisu, also extremely delish!

After Anni's somewhat heavy lunch offerings, I felt the need for lots of exercise. Off to the river trail for a 7.5 mile run in the glorious sunshine. David also went for a run in the sun. Yes, it finally came out here in the Seattle area - yippee! I actually have a tan line on my shoulder to prove it.
