Mariella's Birthday Party

 Our friend Mariella is celebrating her 6th birthday and her party is full of fun! Like tie Dye shirt making

 and while the shirts dry, bobbing for apples

 and checking out the results

beautiful!

jumping

and of course...cake

Sunday Market

 We came back to a VERY wet summer

 we really missed the market!

 The girls even found a dead snake

 which sparked curiosity, interest

and respect

Visting Finn

 Finn is spending the summer in Parks, 30 miles from FLG. So while we cant see him almost everyday, we still made an effort to come see him as soon as we got back

 Ophek really missed him!

 and visiting a friend who sadly passed away while we were gone, Turbo

yes, we sure did miss this view!

And Rats come back!

First thing we did after we got over the Jet Lag is go get our rats. The girls were very excited to see them again

Happy Matar

Cristina comes to visit us and Matar is super happy to see her!
