Ben at the Wetlands

Here's Ben at the wetlands...  He found a bunch of caterpillars, and ran around like an idiot.  All in all, a good day.

Phoebe and her Mom

Here are Phoebe and her mom at the wetlands outside of LA...  I think they like each other!

Beach Time!

While these pictures just look like a cute little girl having fun at the beach, the fact is Phoebe is running away from us in these pictures.  We sent Ben to go get her.  It was a sandy mess.

Bounce House

Here's Phoebe in the bounce house.  She really enjoyed bouncing around all by herself.

Duck-a-Thon

Here are some pictures from the "duck-a-thon" we stumbled across south of LA...  There were a lot of "duck" themes, and both kids got to paint their own duck as well.  Phoebe was really into it, as you can see.

Sprinkler time

 Here's Ben taking a drink from the sprinkler...  Also, here's a picture of an unnamed young girl running through the sprinkler in the buff.  Her name may or may not be Phoebe.  

Marshmallows and Soccer

Yes, those are marshmallows stuck to Ben's face.  A reward for getting his hair washed.  And here's a picture of Phoebe at Ben's soccer class.  She likes to get involved.  Also, there's Ben jumping off the slide at the playground -- that's new favorite thing...  Giving his dad a heart attack.
