Last weekend's fun continued with a day spent with our dear Samir and Lizeth. In addition to hanging out, Samir gave the kids their first electrical engineering lesson. Our friends had bought them an Arduino to learn circuits and programming, but it sat in the drawer for a while, since I... well, since I couldn't. By the end of the lesson, we could all make a closed circuit with a shining LED.
We also, to enjoy this best weather, cooked lunch out on Saturday. A week earlier, our dear Farmer Tim had given the boys some bacon, which we froze to use on our Thanksgiving turkey loaf. The next weekend, Tim asked the boys how they had liked it, to which they responded that we were saving it. "What?! Here's some more. Go home and eat it." So, since I don't abide the smell of bacon, we decided to cook it out over the fire... and then there were scrambled eggs over the fire, pudgy pies in the fire, Neighbors' dinner over the fire... It was great! What did we ever do without that fire pit?
What else? Oh, Kyle came to visit and make us oh-so-happy for a bit. Rob is seriously allergic!
And then, Girumy figured out, with an assist from papA, how to burn things with his magnifying glass and the sun. What?!?! He made me a Happy Gingko.
