Hot day, squirt guns and a hose.

Kai and Nora at the Pony Ride for Charity
Kai and Nora each got a little saddle time at a recent hobby farm event to raise funds for an animal protection charity.
Grandma Ellen and her Three Grandkids
Recently Grandma Ellen flew in to Bahrain to visit baby Evelyn. By chance she was on the first set of flights to go right through European airspace so a lucky break there.
On her birthday we were able to head over and fix a nice meal for everyone and, while she was jet lagged, it was her first day with all three grandkids in the same spot. Enjoy the pictures.
Baby Evelyn was wonderful. She slept or cooed the whole time.
I’m sure she is always like that 😉
Random Pictures
Family naps, fighting toys, the art of a time out and carrots fresh from the garden. Enjoy!
Desert Science
Last weekend we took a desert science excursion with Kai and Nora. We packed up the magnifying glass and set off with the intention of collecting some specimens to examine in the QX5 Digital Blue microscope.
The Easter Bunny Came
As we explained to Kai and Nora the Easter Bunny sometimes makes his visit slightly before or after Easter just to distribute his work load. In fact EB seems especially fond of delivering baskets on Friday mornings which makes it very convenient for locations that honor a Thursday/Friday weekend. It gave us the chance to have a leisurely morning of hunting for baskets and sipping coffee later. Enjoy the pictures.
Ben from Bangkok
After 6 days in Bangkok I’m ready to come home. It has been an excellent conference but the last two weeks has had me away from home enough. The picture to the left is a panorama shot from my hotel room window at the Royal Orchid Sheraton.
Below are some pictures of Webster that I took shortly before I left. I’m looking forward to seeing the little guy!
A Few Random Pictures
Clone troopers, feeding the birds, 100 day glasses and keeping a horse in the house. Enjoy the pictures.
Awesome!
To help Kai get more confident with his bike riding we went out to an empty parking lot on the edge of town where he had lots of room. He would bike far away and then come back and zip past us yelling “Awesome!” The smile on his face in the pictures says it all.
iPhone Pictures
This latest round of pictures came off of my iPhone. I used an application called Hipstamatic that applies photo filters for a range of effects (you can see I prefer the antique filters). The neat thing is that all of the processing is done when the photo is taken. You select the filters and then shoot. What you get is what you get — there is no going back an applying different filters to the same shot.
