Trippin'

We have been having plenty of adventures at Casa de Tzuhsi!
If only I remembered to bring the camera, you could have shared in our fun............but alas........

If I had remembered my camera, I might have taken a picture like this............but the lazy African Safari Animals are rarely this animated............


I definitely would have taken a picture of my kids on an elephant ride.............


And I certainly would have brought the camera on our very first Maid of the Mist ride at Niagara Falls.......... It was C*R*A*Z*Y fun!


We saw the Lawyer's Mom, aka Grandma, on Sunday and she mentioned that she was going to Vidler's the following day. Soooooooooo, we drove 1 1/2 hrs to meet her there. Yup, to go to a 5&10 store. It was fun and we got lots of unnecessary crap.
Since we were in the neighborhood, kinda, sorta, we went on to the Buffalo Zoo!

Everyone's favorite area was the rainforest.......


Frances cooling off under the waterfall..........


Lewis and Elly are pros at the Chinese squat..........


Elly looking cute......


Lewis thought this was the funniest thing he had EVER seen........


While waiting for the girls to be done in the bathroom, Lewie scaled the wall........


And this pretty much sums up Lewie's academics this summer..............


We're off to Pittsburgh later this week!

Whassuppppppppp?

Well HI THERE! Where have you been? I've missed you!
I think I should win the LAZY BLOGGER award.
It's officially summer vacation and we have been having some kind of fun!
Every summer I sign the kids up for all sorts of things that they don't want to do because you have to try new things.....right??

Ana and Lewis golfed last week, when it was sizzlin' hot. I crouched under an umbrella, watching the entertainment.

Ana was, of course, a very good listener and did a great job. She really liked it and wants to take more lessons.


Lewie was a nut. The instructor was patient and asked Ana if her brother was always so goofy. He won't be taking any more lessons. The instructor suggested that Lewie was better suited for hockey with his stance and grip hold!


Frances spent the first 2 weeks of her vacation at violin camp! She loves it but I think it's really about hanging out with her friends and eating candy. Naturally I chose the wrong side to sit on and listened to her concert while looking at her back. She played a BEAUTIFUL piece from Carmen with this group. Next month she's back for fiddle camp!


This afternoon we went to Stonybrook for a hike in the gorge. As we were walking in, a man and woman were wrangling their baby & toddler aged kids out of the parking lot and into the park. The man YELLED 2 or 3 times to his toddler "STOP HITTING ME IN THE PEEPEE!" We were trying to contain ourselves when Lewie said, LOUDLY "That guy is over-talking and I am overhearing him."

We loved walking in the creek - nice and cool.


We hiked to the waterfall - Look! There's the Lawyer!


I love these little pod that twirl you around. So what if I'm the only adult who goes on one!


I have to go! The Next Design Star is on in a few minutes.
Don't be a stranger! I'll write again soon.
