We finished the fence around the patio and put some solar light on the front posts. They make a beautiful pattern on the concrete. One bad thing about our fence. Izma can fit right between the fence post and the first board on the gate. Well at least it keeps Sister out. She is the one that was chewing on all the chairs on the patio and she would bang on the patio door sounding like some lumber jack was trying to get into the house.
Since I had the tripod out I went into the back yard about 100 feet and took this photo of the house. Nice.
We celebrated Maiko and Isabelle's birthdays today. We bought the meat and I started the cookout. I cooked the chicken breast and all the knuckles on my right hand. Maiko then showed up and finished cooking the rest of the meat. I hate cooking on a grill. Maiko and Amy are trying their hand at making cakes. They made this one for Isabelle. It is Chowder. A cartoon character that Isabelle loves.
It is also a cartoon character that is drawn by her Uncle Alex Almaguer. If you go to the link on the right side of the page "Alex Almaguer" you can see some of his other work. Maiko called Alex and told him how much Isabelle likes the cartoon. Alex sent her some of the cartoon toy figures that are made for the artist that work on the cartoon.
This was taken just as grandma pushed Isabelle's face into the horn or hair of chowder causing her to bite it off. You can see Lily's hand reaching out to get some of the cake.
I love black and white photos, they capture more emotion that color photos.
Isabelle opening the toys Alex sent her. She love them. And look at the excitment on the other kids' faces as they react to the cartoon figures.
Okay, got to put some more lotion on my burnt knuckles. Next time I will leave the cooking to those who know how to cook.
