What can I say?

The Spitfire is just a gorgeous plane

When Gene visited I made him help with the airbrushing. Turned out pretty nice IMHO.

The Red and Black Snakes

Or at least 75% of them.



Lily's on the Pink Eels which sounds to me like a euphemism for penis but whatever....

And there's ANOTHER Under 8 girls team named the Eels....wth?

Dirty snowball or comet?

Yes!

From the astronomy open house at UH.

Lily got all hand's on and made some astronomical stuffs.

They had lots of activities. One of which was a do it yourself pin toy like these:

where you put in the pins into a black box to find what type of terrain is below. SUpposed to model remote sensing of terrain on Mars or Venus.

With the low res version, there's only 40 or so pins (8 x 5 grid), mid-res about 80 and the high res is something like 150 you get the correct "map" created.

The people who brought it had considered not even bringing the hi-res one - figured no kids would actually have the patience to do the whole thing at each of the three resolutions

Turns out there were two who did.

Soccer buds

 
Lily and bff Aiyana.

Lily has already scored twice this season, once in her first game no less. And interstingly, it was nearly a carbon copy of her old man's first goal back in 1977.

Five yards from the goal.
