Peruvian wine with Bunmi

Fabulous food!

 Amazing ceviche & Japanese/Peruvian fusion...

Lost in translation? Strolling through Lima

 Apparently Playboy has more than one meaning, given this was a shoe store by all outward appearances!

Evidently, a PhD can also mean different things in different places!

Haircuts

Chicken tape

Joni and Bethany are driving home from camp, where Joni 'had been to Mexico' today as part of the week's international theme...

Bethany: What was the most fun thing at camp today?
Joni: Making this maraca
Bethany: Cool, how did you make it?
Joni: I colored the bowls, then we added the beads, and then the chicken tape
Bethany: Chicken tape, what's that?
At which point, Joni holds up the maraca to point to the DUCT tape

Discovering yoga

One of Haven's units at her camp this week is yoga, and she has been noticeably more zen this week.  Above, she demonstrates 'the tree'.  Joni's 'yoga' has a more lyrical style! 

Staying cool at the waterpark

The girls spent a considerable amount of time trying to stop the shoot of water with their bottoms.

Bend it like...Haven

No title needed (kindest mother ever, perhaps?)

Guess who got the short end of the stick for choosing her costume…

Independence Day

In action!
Haven before taking her spot in our neighborhood Stars & Stripes Bike Parade, & Joni in the bounce house.

Big excitement!  Haven won her first trophy by winning the hula hoop contest.  

 This clip is from the first round of the competition where she had to clap her hands above her head while marching & keeping the hoop going...

Getting styled
