I decided to try to make prints with the kids. I brought floral foam blocks from the dollar store. I then cut it into 3 pieces so the kids could make more designs.
We used the end of the paint brush to "carve" the foam. Make the designs thick and simple to show up. Then we used the brush to brush away the loose foam.
We painted the blocks but dipping them in paint worked just as well.
Press the block onto the paper. Viola!
Note: The design needs simple. Caitlin's designs were too complicated. The flamingo she carved would not print. It crushed her little artistic soul. Davey, on the other hand, enjoyed the craft. I used his prints to make thank you cards.

There were dramatic drops.
We stopped to enjoy the view.
This tunnel framed the sailboat perfectly.
We did half of the Cliff Walk. It took us about 2 hours. By the time we finished, the moon was out.
This was from Caitlin's Halloween's parade at school. Apparently we can already embarrass her with our presence.
I posted this last week. The answer is that Dave put his shoe in the freezer because he thought there might be a spider in it. He wanted to kill any that might be there

Finally getting away for our anniversary trip makes me happy. Amazing how an overnight away from the kids can make you feel connected again and refreshed.
