Zak has been wanting to try out his new light-up shoes, in the dark of course. Since Ava also has light-up shoes, we decided to make it a full "Dancing in the streets with light-up shoes" party. We invited a couple neighbors (also with light up shoes) over to join us. I haven't taken the time to attach good music to the video, but take a look. The 4 kids had a great time. I'm sure the rest of our street watched us from their windows as they shook their heads.















Today we went exploring/bug hunting. Zak and Ava had their bug catchers in hand as we walked a nature trail. We found 3 bugs, some fish, acorns, pine cones, berries, etc. But the highlight of the trip was a snake. I'm so tired of snakes, but I do love it when my 3 year old gives me a hug and says "It's ok mom, God doesn't want us to be afraid. It's only a snake."
Last night, we attended the GM Plant's Open House at Fairfax. We went on a tour of the assembly plant. We saw the robots and workers assemble a full car (Buick) from start to finish.
After the tour, Bob was able to test drive the Chevy Volt and we got a chance to sit in many other cars. It was a fun trip.

We decided to give putt-putt another try. Our last visit (over a year ago), didn't go very well. Tonight, it went great. We had a blast. Both Zak & Ava did very well. We might have a couple of future golfers in the house. And before you say anything...I know...Zak's socks with sandals are stylin'.

Ava enjoying the Zak-free life while he is at preschool.
Zak showing off his preschool songs. The first song is perfected. The second song is still a mystery.
