Photos of Camille, Daniel (and family and friends)

Bored one day while stuck in my office for half a day, my active little girl Camille decided to create invitations to a party.  The party had no reason or theme, other than to get her two closest friends over for a play date.

Both Kasey and Lucy accepted.  It was planned for a Thursday, so I supervised.  They started the play date by pulling 27 buckets of weeds from the garden!  I didn’t ask them to do it; I merely said I had to do some work on the park (on a computer inside) and they entertained themselves in our vegetable garden by pulling weeds.  You would know how remarkable this is if you understood how hard it is to get the kids to do small chores around the house.  Later, I realized that Camille was, in part, motivated by a standing offer of $0.25 per bucket of weeds pulled.  This netted each girl $2.25.

Then after a bit, we headed to Than Brothers for pho.  After the cream puffs (it must be the French influence on Vietnam), we headed to Golden Gardens for some sandy fun.
