The Robe

Zack tries out his soft new bathrobe made by Grandma. He really didn't take it off for a few days and he slept in it, too.

Trip to Baltimore

We drove up to Baltimore for a day in the Inner Harbor. The USS Constellation is there and there are a lot of museums, restaurants, etc. We spent the whole day at the Maryland Science Center.



Zack catches a hot air balloon launched by a hair dryer in the museum lobby.




After the dino dig.


This one really doesn't need a caption does it?

Arrr!

Zack's friends down the street had a pirate birthday party and Zack really got into the spirit.

Cooking with the Sun

Here's Kelly trying out one of her Christmas presents, the solar oven. This was the first try, so we just did toasted cheese sandwiches. We've also cooked chili and and couple of stews in there. Even on a cold day, it gets up to 300 degrees in there within an hour or so of being in the sunlight.
