We did have a pretty fun day with the kids. We went to this place called "Hands On Art Studio." I thought it would be just some glorified paint-your-plate place, but it was so much more. They had mosaics, jewelry making (and not just beading), glass making and metal working.
F had absolutely no interest until he saw the metal working. Here are pictures of my future welder (and if that happens I will truly be jealous - I really want to learn how to weld.)
"Let's cut some steel!" (He was actually mad at me because I embarrassed him earlier when he walked into the ceramics studio, started touching everything and then knocked five pieces over - no breakage. He said to me as I told him, "Don't touch, AN-Y-THING!" "DAD! It's called 'HANDS ON Art!'")
Working the plasma cutter.
Almost done.
Grinding off the burrs.
A few more sparks.
A few finishing touches.
While F was workin' the steel, E was painting some ceramics. She made a very nice little box. Here is a picture of her with her two little cousins.
When E saw what F had done, she wanted to come back and work some steel as well. We'll go back, I have some designs of my own to make.
OH, I saw the hugest cock!
He was just strutting around, crowing.
We also got some wind today that really whipped the lake into some "surf." I almost tried to get out and bodysurf (I have been able to in the past) but A reminded me I had chicken to grill - DE-NIED!
Tomorrow looks like more of the same. I do have a ten mile run scheduled so that will save me somewhat. (I know, I know - I am totally able to suck the joy out of just about any occasion.)

Just say NO to boarding facilities. Find yourself a good dog sitter. I know an awesome one, unfortunately she's in Vancouver ;)
I saw a large cock this week too.
You would have to add the cock humor...what looks like a nice, innocent post about family takes a turn! LOL
I seriously want more information about this vacation area you're going to because it looks like a fun place to go! The hiking alone hooked me, but now this hands on art shop seals the deal. I assume there are a few cabins and resorts up there for rent on a weekly basis.
haaaaha I'm still laughing at the hugest cock picture! And the welding makes me cringe - all I see is small children losing fingers or something awful. Perhaps it is good I don't have kids yet :)
