Sea monsters, spiders, and the Z monster!

Our four day back country canoe trip turned into an afternoon on a pond.  Vinnie tried his hand at fishing.  On a completely related note, we are reconsidering our plan to depend on fish as a staple for our meals.



This big mama spider was hanging out above my head for a few hours the other day during a marathon brewing session over at Erik's.  She made me think a lot about how animals care for their young.  I couldn't help but admire the furry little fang machine for her dedication.


Speaking of furry little monsters, we celebrated Zhora's birthday last weekend.



The party had a unicorn theme, but once the face painter showed up, it took on a distinctly vampiry theme.  In addition to the face painter, there was also a pool, bubbles, a pinata (unfortunately it wasn't one of those Donald Trump ones; maybe for my birthday!), hula hoops, chickens, grilling, and lots of room to run around.  All in all, not a bad party!


Sarah B showed Zhora some sweet hula hoop skills.


Happy birthday Z!
