Find the Baby

The Mission lifeguards have been playing a game of stashing the lifesaver training dummies around the pool area. Some have been at the top of the huge indoor slide, etc. This one looks a bit like a horror entry, but it was easy to spot on the pool deck.
 

Walking Inspiration

I enjoy the chalk messages I am seeing on my walks. They add some fun to the outings.
 

Who's Always Smiling, Never Sad?

Whizzo the Clown that's who. Hayden and Stacy (middle) got to be on his TV show in 1984. I remember that Stacy was quite conscientious about keeping Hayden safe.
 

Mighty Bike

Colin looks tiny atop the Mighty Bike climbable art in R Park. It's 12 foot and welcomes adults to climb too. 
 

Zentangle

We had a class on Zentangle at church. It's doodling taken to a more artistic level. It was interesting.
 

Battery Take Back

Skip-the-Bin mascot Woodsy Owl and his Air Stream trailer were on hand to help at Shawnee's Battery Take Back event. We took some plain old used batteries as well as power tool ones that no longer charge. The purpose was to get people to recycle their used batteries in a safer, more environmentally friendly way.

Cheer Debut

Vala and Lowell are on the Eudora Elementary cheer squad and had their cheering debut yesterday for a 4th grade football game. Lowell held up Red in one routine. 

Vala is in the center below. (They all kind of look alike on the field)

The girls are both to the left in the photo below.

 

Leaf Print

I love this cool lighting on a house near us. 

 

Lancer Day Hospitality

Since the SMEast parade goes in front of the church, we offer snacks, water and use of our bathrooms. 

 

Felony in Progress

By today's standards, Susan would probably have been arrested. But in 1971, not a problem to dip into the reflecting pool. You can vaguely see the Washington Monument.

 

Scavenger Hunt

Colin and friends were on a scavenger hunt at the library. They did an excellent job of working together to find the stickers.
 

Celebrating Labor Day

Showing some love for Labor Day.

 

Happy Birthday to Hayden Today!

Vala picked the candles for Hayden's cake. In addition to the number of candles, she used ones that spelled Hayden's name but the effect was lost in the conflagration.
 

20th Anniversary of Cars

In celebration of the anniversary, I took the grandkids to see "Cars" on the big screen at Extreme Screen, Union Station. Although we've watched it many times it was fun to see it this way.

Even from the front row.

 

Fall Is Coming

Despite the unbearable heat, nature has decided to go forward with fall. Nice to see, difficult to appreciate when it is 99°.
