Teacher let the monkeys out . . .

. . . and they are at our house! Our best friends, Blake and Taylor, arrived in Tampa yesterday and wasted no time jumping in the pool and wrestling the alligator into submission.





There were several attempts at surfing that met with varying success.


Here's Blake's official welcome from Peanut -- luckily Taylor is a little more discerning.

Eeeeew! Dog slobber! Sorry Mom!

When the storm clouds rolled in we moved into the studio to work on art projects. Polymer clay won, as it always does. Blake's project required the use of some heavy equipment. Stay tuned to see the finished projects in a later post.

Today we are off to the vet after lunch for P's pedicure and we are planning a trip to the award-winning Lowry Park Zoo for tomorrow morning.
