smushmellows

Somethings I just hope I never forget.
This summer,
smores
were a big hit around our house.



How's that for some sequencing??

We ended up getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, so we had to make our smores indoors.

the dragon hunter

This is by far one of my favorite summer memories and it all started here:
Mimi took us to see the movie "How to Tame Your Dragon" and all the kids loved it. Seth sat by Mimi during the movie, and at some point, she whispered something to the effect of, "We need to get a pet dragon." And that set off a huge spiral that ended with Mimi showcasing her incredible creativity.

She sent Seth on a Dragon Hunt and he went from dragon egg to dragon egg collecting clues. It was quite exciting for one and all until the clues took us outside.... in the dark. That's when Seth started to get "nervous." Alas, our brave warrior found the dragon egg and brought it in to help it hatch.

Seth and Leah were both VeRy scared about what might happen... Enjoy the videos!
It took some coaxing, but Mimi convinced him to give over the egg.









So, we all watched and waited... and waited... and waited...
Then we realized that there was a second wrapper.

AH! There we go!

We were all quite nervous...

If you look VerY closely, you can see the fierce DRaGoN.
Thanks Aunt Mimi!
