July 30

The library had a little petting zoo today.

July 29

I'm not really sure why Becky is wearing this scarf.

July 28

It's a little hard to see but we had a nice waterfall coming down our new rock wall in the torrential rain. We got about 1.6 inches in a little over an hour.

July 27

Getting ready to watch The Lorax and eat Fritos makes the perfect Friday night.

July 26

We have 3 ears of corn growing now and hopefully more will show up soon since we're going away in 2 weeks. I noticed this teeny tiny watermelon today, and this tomato might be showing a little red.

July 25

The zucchini made a very yummy bread; the cucumber was eaten with dinner. So fun to have actual veggies to eat from the garden.

July 24

The Mengdens came for a visit today and everyone had a blast in the pool. A great time with great new friends!

July 23

It's been a long time since we had a nice view of the pool from this direction! Notice Lenna's new airplane floatie. She likes to walk around with her legs in it pretending to fly.

July 22

Watch out! Lenna's got the water squirters!

July 21

I'm fascinated with the lighting in this photo. Guess the flash made it look shiny like that. There are about 20 tomatoes of various sizes now, all still quite green.

July 21

Today was the annual Packanack Day 5K Run / 2K Walk and Kid Races. I walked with the girls while Anthony ran. Lenna just really wanted to run, even after she got her medal.

July 20

They don't usually sit this quietly. Just up from naps, having an Enjoy Live Foods snack and watching The Adventures of Gumball.

July 19

Maggie & Susie were writing letters to their pen pals in Minneapolis, Molly & Kiera!

July 18

That little bit of blue was the last blue sky we saw for a few days.

July 16

We haven't played on the library computers in a while but while Maggie & Susie were at a presentation we had some time to waste.

Wednesday, July 18, 2012

We've been spotting a lot of large birds, mostly hawks, in the neighborhood. Probably going after all the bunnies in our yard of course! There were two large turkey vultures on the corner - one flew away before I could get a photo of the two of them.

July 12

Our first tiny little watermelon!

July 11

Lenna and Maggie checking out the veggies.

July 10

The pumpkin plant has such beautiful big flowers. So far I haven't seen any signs that any actual pumpkins are growing, but we definitely have a couple of zucchini.

July 9

Napping on a block pillow.

July 8

The littles, fishing with noodles.

July 7

Susie had her annual birthday pool party today. Maggie's friend Paige and her cousin Cate came over as well as a bunch of Susie's friends. Despite some clouds, everyone had a great time.

July 6

We quickly accummulated a lot of floaties this summer. This one from last year is still Becky's favorite. The rest of us like to float around on the "cup holder" floaties.

July 5

Another lazy Thursday afternoon at the Machado house. Lenna was very sad after she threw the rings into the garden.

July 4

We celebrated July 4th with a visit from the Harris family, including 3 month old Jane. Lenna was very excited to hold her. Anne brought over a very yummy ice cream cake.

July 3

The girls were eating Frosted Mini-Wheats early in the morning.

July 2

I planted this garden without any huge expectations, really never having had a vegetable garden ever. I used a Topsy-Turvy last year but planted the tomatoes too late, and one year we had been given a couple of plants by Amy but the animals got to the tomatoes before we could pick them.

So I'm really plesantly surprised by the growth that has occurred up to this point. I love seeing these flowers on the tomato plants.
