Vacation

This week has been reeeeaaally mellow around our house. The kids have played, I've cleaned up, we've snuggled and watched football -- and then watched rescheduled football -- and that's about it. For his part, Evan has been digging into the two GINORMOUS Lego sets that the kids got for Christmas from Pops (yes, they were bestowed upon all three kids, but only one has the interest and patience to build the darn things).

Yesterday we did go to the pool to swim at lunchtime (that's right! outdoors! hooray for the 3% of the country that's not under a blanket of snow!). And the day before that we hit the Bob Jones Trail with my parents so that Foxy could practice her new biking skills and we could all get a little fresh air.

Here's the photographic evidence...



Noah got a camera for Christmas. He's obsessed with its video capabilities. He spent the entire bike ride running alongside her and documenting every rotation of the pedals. We even had to -- got to! -- sit and watch a Blair Witch Project-esque DVD that night.



In Avila Beach after stopping for ice cream:



At "Halfway Hill" on the way back:



Back at the homestead and still obsessed with documenting everything. (And eerily resembling his mother...)



And the Lego dude with the first of his two crazy Star Wars creations.



The Death Star might warrant its own post...
