Fourteen+ Pictures for the Fourteenth of July 2014 . . . plus a trivia quiz

Calvin:  All these bees swarming on our neighbor's sunflower field
remind me of robbing the hives with my dad.
  

Jane: Still not crazy about jogging, but the feeling at the end keeps me doing it.

Ray:  Levin and I attempting to teach Atlas
how to jump for Family Home Evening.

Cali:  Ray took this picture.  He's working in the garden and I'm overseeing
and reading on the porch.  Isn't summer grand?  I'm also semi distracted
by how hobbity-y my foot looks.  

Atlas Lincoln Follet with Levin Buchanan Follett in the background.

Abe:  Celebrating Abe Day.
This started 3 years ago when Grace and her sister, Connie, were bored one day.


Grace:  This is Henry's, "I'm hungry, mom" look.

Henry:  This is me being irresistable.

Ty:  I was studying Chinese, but somehow Michelle found me like this.

Afton:  Mom and I played with bubbles today while Eliza napped.

Michelle:  My shoes got a few more miles on them today.

Eliza: We went to the swimming pool for Family Home Evening.
Eliza would also like you to note that she has grown a tooth since last month.
 

                          Joe: I got to enjoy a few minutes of Up before a short segment on the Bluffton News.

Ande:  Let's not talk about how many greasy tacos Joe and I ate.
(Hint: it's in the double digits.)


Zeph: Joe is doing his best to ensure Zeph is a foodie.
He made Zeph pasta mixed with snap peas, duck bacon, Parmesan cheese,
and topped with a raw egg yolk. Zeph says, "Yummm!"


Just for fun, Ande created a trivia quiz for our family to take a week or two ago.  She asked each family to submit four questions as well as a prize for the winners.  She uploaded the quiz on the internet so each family could submit their answers.

Calvin and I won!  (Luckily Calvin knew that Joe had a garage full of karate trophies [instead of soccer trophies] and I knew that Cali took a cadaver class [instead of a microbiology class], because those two answers tipped the quiz in our favor.)  Here are the answers:

That sunflower field of bees looks amazing, I would like to take lots of close-up pictures!

I know I always say this, but the grand kids are growing so fast I can't believe how big they're all getting!
