The little singer

Someone turned on the furnace down here! Ouchie…been in the high 90’s this week and it’s not gonna change for a while I think – we’ve had no rain for several weeks so it’s keeping the humidity low (for the time being). This is the time of year when you plan your afternoons around staying indoors between the hours of Noon and 3pm! Hot as it is, we’re planning an overnight camping trip to the coast today (Saturday) to see how Aanika does. We’d like to eventually take a week-long trip somewhere but we need to see how well she’ll adapt to a tent. She thought it was fun enough when it was set up in the living room (Kevin’s idea) but it might be a whole other issue when it’s surrounded by “nature” and other people. Actually, it could be interesting because of it being so close to the 4th – we’re hoping it won’t be too bad because the county we’ll be in has a burning ban enacted because of the dry conditions but time will tell!
This is one of Aanika's favorite activities lately with her daddy....FLYING!

Our trip to Michigan went well, but it was quite chilly and cool. We’ll do pictures and an update of that next time. I must say, the trip did nothing to change the still active obsession with Aurora (Sleeping Beauty). We’ve attached a short video clip this week of Aanika showing off her singing skills. In the video, they’re singing ‘Hail to the King, Hail to the Queen, Hail to Princess Aurora’ and it’s all done with much pomp and circumstance. Well, she’s been working on her singing and it’s the part about Princy A-Roar-Aahhhh (you’ll understand this spelling when you see the clip). Over and over and over…all day long…everywhere.
