Martin: Back over to the painting job with the resident dogs for company. Spending a lot of time sleeping in the colder weather.

Me: Today the weather was perfect! After a 6 mile morning jog (Bob biked next to me), we all met at Wheeler Park around 11am for games and a picnic. This is Isabella, Brittany & Andy's oldest girl (soon to be 4 years old).

This is Ava, Isabella's 1 year old baby sister.

 Grandma Joan & Ava giggling down the slide.

 Bryce and Isabella playing wiffle ball.

 Carson and Bob throwing the football around. Carson is a great little athlete and has the spiral down. I took this pic as a panoramic and it came out split screen showing the movement of the ball. Kinda cool.

 Wonderful picnic in the park! So glad Steph, Britt and their kiddos could join Bob, Mom Joan and I.

 We couldn't let the afternoon pass us by without a trip to one of our favorite chocolate shops in Geneva; Graham's Fine Chocolates. This pic is for Karen and Charlie who's last name just happens to be Graham. :-)

 Oh, the choices! Yum.

Sat out front and enjoyed the decadent treats.

 Then had fun with the panoramic camera. Bob seemed to be everywhere! See?

 The boys laughed so hard being able to do the trick of "double trouble". Afterwards a little shopping around Geneva and back home for rest.

 This evening we went to Isabella's soccer practice and over to Andy and Brittany's for pizza. Lovely evening to sit out back, visit and play with the bubbles. BIG bubbles!

Too cute!

Ava ready for bed.

Before the rest of us hit the hay can you tell what we (I) did? Anyone else catch fireflies and make jewelry as a kid? 

PS: Only 3 fireflies were harmed during the night's festivities.
