ODU Science Pubs- The Science of Beer

I found a cool monthly lecture series through ODU that takes place at local breweries.  Each month is a different scientific topic but since they were starting out the school year this one was lead by two microbiologists who also home brew.  It was fun learning about the science of beer.

Beach Day

We are getting close to the end of our summer season with school starting for Brooke next week so today I took the kiddos to the beach.  We had a lot of fun mostly swimming and boarding, but also playing in the sand.

Zoo Trip

After attending Alex’s friend’s birthday party at the Virginia Zoo we were free to walk around the exhibits.  We had a good time looking at the animals.

Pool Days

We have spent about 5 out of 7 days a week at the pool this summer.  I don’t often take pictures because we are playing in the water, but since that is what we spent most of our time doing this summer I grabbed these of us having lunch at the pool the other day.

Alex’s 4 year old well child check

At today’s visit with Dr. Mink Alex was measured at 45.7 inches and 53 lbs.  Dr. Mink was very impressed with his verbal reasoning, knowing his alphabet, and general demeanor.
