Too big

Allie will not be left in anyone's dust. This week she climbed up on this two wheeler and took off. She loves to pedal down the slope to the corner yelling faster! faster! while I run/waddle to keep up. (Don't worry, she wears her princess helmet!) She hasn't figured out braking so she makes corners at top speed. And she sometimes gets distracted and starts to look around then veers off the sidewalk. She has no fear!

Zucchini

After having our fill of zucchini we decided to let the remaining zuccs grow to see how big they would get. We checked out prize winners at the state fair and think we may have come close. Especially since we ate all those from earlier in the season. Had we let those grow they would be larger than our van! We enjoyed using our muscles yesterday to heft them. Especially Allie who pronounced each one, "heby!"
