After a long day of cleaning up at work, at his boss's house and then our house...Brian took the time to relax with his music and a fire. Well deserved!!

TODAY: I found out that if you got to the Science Center this morning between 10 and 11 they gave you free admission!!! We did pay to watch an IMAX 3-D show "Wild Ocean". Let me tell you...IMAX & 3-D is AMAZING!!


The boys were able to pet a 15yr old python,

Didn't take my real camera. These were all taken with my phone, so not the best. But it was a fun fun day! Leaving tomorrow to move Corinne to my parents house. Will stay there a couple days and be home Sunday. Boy it's been a crazy month! Sad to see summer end though
