Wheels That Work: Trucks

Emma Claire: "When daddy grows big, he should be a truck driver"

Time Capsule

We went as a family to the 125th Anniversary Time Capsule Ceremony.  We rode our bikes to City Hall, snapped a photo by the time capsule and grabbed a program (Arnold wasn't much into the ceremony, so we made a quick exit).

We hope to be there as a family when the capsule is opened in 25 years!

Fourth of July 2012

This was one hot Fourth of July for us.  Record temperatures here, with a high in excess of 100.  

Emma Claire and I made Rowie's famous pimento cheese (it wouldn't be the Fourth without that!)

 We had plans to watch the Delano parade, but decided not to brave the heat.  We, instead, spent the afternoon at Kevin Carver's pool party.  Emma Claire hardly left the water and Brad had a good showing in the cannon ball contest. 

After supper, we loaded Emma Claire and Arnold in the Burley and biked over to Aquila Park for fireworks.  It was well worth the effort and the late night.  Everyone enjoyed the show.  Arnold said "whoa" after most every firework.

It was one late night for the Kadue family, but we survived (eventually recovered) and enjoyed another fun filled Fourth of July.

Why God Made Little Brothers

Emma Claire:  "Arnold's really silly!... That's why God made little brothers, I guess".

Happy Teeth

Emma Claire's second trip to the dentist...  No cavities and a good report.  We left with instructions from the dentist to add a brushing in the morning (Emma Claire can do that one by herself) and at night (mom and dad are to help with that one) and floss.  Emma Claire took the instructions seriously and has reminded us many times "remember, the dentist said..." (why won't she take us so seriously?)

Water Balloon Pinatas

Emma Claire is brave on the monkey bars this summer.  She climbs part way across, using the trapeze bar for assistance.  She loves to hang upside down on them.

This night, we made water balloon pinatas (one of the items on our "Summer Bucket List - more to follow on our list).  We had a hard time breaking them!

Basketball

Emma Claire just completed her second Wednesday of basketball in her Parks & Rec class, where she learned how to dribble and shoot the ball.  She loves the class.  Next week...t-ball!
