Greg and Jen got a fire pit, and we all made great use of it last night–some by roasting marshmallows, and some just poking at it with sticks. It was certainly a great night for it.

we’ve got a program going on this summer that teaches kids about the area’s marine life. I really liked this image of all these kids jut hanging at the railing with one of the instructors, fishing and talking bout life.

How many caterpillars can you find in this photo?

need a hint? look at this tighter shot.

with 9 brownies to taste and vote on, the whole staff was pretty overdosed on sugar this afternoon. First place went to my coworker Tim, whose brownies were very tasty indeed.

The ones Doug and I made were good, but the caramel was so delicious that it overpowered the chocolate, and ultimately, brownies are about the chocolate. They did receive a handful of votes and I had one coworker who really liked them a lot. At any rate, when brownies are involved, there really are no losers, are there?

I hesitate to give my opinion of the brownies before the bake-off tomorrow, but they certainly look delicious!

My coworker Juli has declared that we shall have a Brownie Bake-off on Tuesday at work. Today Doug and I cooked up a batch of Turtle Brownies; the batter was quite tasty, so here’s hoping the brownies will be too!

I remember watching the chick enclosure at the science museum when I was little. And now Leah would stay there all day if you let her.

As is typical of him, Parker is unfazed by the fact that there’s a bicycle in the living room. It was there all night, and I was fully expecting to hear a crash, but it never came.

this green magnet is, in fact, green and also magnetic. good to know.
