You've heard of playing in the sprinkler....

But have you heard of playing the sprinkler?

Yes, Trevi has created a new musical instrument that has the added bonus of keeping you cool when the mercury is about to shatter the thermometer.

We're off to Nova Scotia in the morning, where I'm guessing the temperature won't be in triple digits (especially in Celsius!). Farewell to California, your sea-bound coast! :)

And now for something completely different...Soccer!!!!

Ya, ya, I know that all I seem to talk about is soccer, but it does suck up a monster portion of our life around here. Eleven hours of today. You heard me. Clara's team played their hearts out, and just impressed the heck out of me. I can almost smell the college scholarships....

Extra super duper cool was the fact that the team played in their snazzy new uniforms for the first time. Check 'em out:

And here's Clara in action (she's right on the ball):

Eleven hours of soccer tournament, in my humble opinion, is a tad over-the-top. But, when your kid falls asleep in the car with a smile on her sweet and sweaty little face, you know it was eleven hours well spent.

Camp: Part Deux

Today marked the end of the second and final week of summer camps for Clara and Trevi. This time, they were together at the exact same sports camp, and they didn't torture each other even once during that time! (unless the counsellors are omitting something)

We have such an amazing parks and rec department. Lucky lucky lucky.
