Bounce House

We borrowed an inflatable bounce house from our in-laws while Kirke was on summer vacation. Alice loves to run around in there, but she especially likes riding on Kirke's back to do a flying leap into the bounce house. The cutest part is that she's recently decided that she wants to give her own baby Cabbage Patch doll "incoming" piggyback rides as well!

Cowboys & Aliens

As I'm sure everyone is aware, this weekend marked the opening of the epically-named and phenomenally-bad movie "Cowboys & Aliens," so of course Alice insisted that we get a group together to celebrate prior to going to see the movie. Aunt Ginny & her boyfriend Frank rode into town for a meal of octopus & pasta, green Alien Spawn Empanadas, and franks & beans.

While Alice greatly enjoyed the dinner and getting to dress up as cute little Alien spawn, she was bitterly disappointed to find out that she then had to stay home and wouldn't get to come see the movie, as it started well after her bedtime.
