There are quite a few prettily painted pianos around town:

We've been riding our bicycles a lot lately...it's nice to go early in the morning, when it's cool. And this past week, we rode to several places: Trader Joe's, Old Navy, Graeter's, to play a piano in the park, go to Gordon Food Service...

We found out that Olivia won 3rd place in the Graeter's coloring contest!!!

For drawing this...the prompt for the first space: what do you think Graeter's was like 140 years ago? She drew a log cabin shop...and the second space: what do you think Graeter's will be like in 140 years? Olivia drew people floating in bubbles to the modern shop!

She got a $10 gift card and bought herself a Graeter's teddy bear with t-shirt and got a strawberry milkshake. Hannah got cookies and cream in a milkshake. Rob got a butter pecan cone. I got a caramel malt. Decadence! Almost too sweet.

We went to the
Newport Aquarium...they have a deal going on until September 3rd, 2010...one adult admission $22 and 2 children get in FREE between 4-7pm. I especially liked the giant crabs, the seahorses, jellyfish and
petting the sharks...both the girls did, too! It was very cool inside...so good thing to do on a record HOT day...supposed to get to 100'F this week, I wonder what the heat index would say, because it's really humid and feels hotter.
