For the last few months Skylar has enjoyed reading books from the Chicken Squad series of books. Parker has enjoyed listening and it’s so cute to watch them.
I tried to get a video, but these small animals are averse to being filmed in the wild:

Trick or Trail
Every year Reston has the “Trick or Trail” at one of their community centers where they setup activities to win candy and have an educational trail with various stops. It’s like the rock star event for community centers and sells out each year within a couple hours of tickets coming online.
You get a mini lesson on mosquitoes, pollution, wildlife, etc, and candy. What could be better!

FunBotics camp
Parker voted FunBotics camp as his #1 camp for this summer. Skylar also enjoyed it, but FunBotics couldn’t dethrone Madiera from her #1 position. I wish I could take a week off work and attend FunBotics camp!
Here are some pics – apparently water slides are an important part of robotics camp (you can’t sit still all day).

Virginia Beach
We took an extended weekend to visit VA beach over the summer. Parker and mommy napped one afternoon while Skylar and I took a 2 seater out for a ride.
There was a weeklong art festival going on in front of our hotel and we got a Turkey leg at an awful street vendor from NJ. On the flip side, there was a sweets vendor who had ice cream that they made right in front of you.
The kids enjoyed playing with their inflatables. It was the end of the road for our boat, as the bottom of it became completely separated from the rest of the boat (although still inflated) by the end of the trip.
Susan and I enjoyed the really good craft food / beer scene that has slowly been building in the Va Beach area.

Parker loved the softness of his chicken – aka mini Parker.
