Lee shows off their mobile sushi restaurant robot at the end of their
Code Ninjas camp. It scans the colors of things to tell you what they
are. The pink ones are salmon nigiri. It thinks most everything else
is lemonade. And it wouldn't stop spinning in circles and falling
over, so Lee took its wheels away. (7/26/24)

Lee
wakes up early and makes Lane's favorite kind of pancakes for his
birthday breakfast -- banana chocolate chip. (7/27/24)

We had to lock Avery outside, and it took two episodes of Taylor Swift: Journey to Fearless, but we blew up 99 of them... (7/27/24)

When we let her in, Avery was in heaven. (7/27/24)

Lee
and a neighborhood cat both pretend to act casual while actually
stalking each other. Lee wants to pet the cat. The cat
wants to catch the balloon's string. (7/27/24)

For once, a giant bird doesn't look like it wants to eat Lee. (7/28/24)

The horse is apparently hungry and wants to EAT Lee's fingers! (7/28/24)

Spinning, spinning, spinning. (7/28/24)
|

Once
again, there was no Scrambler, but the Super Orbiter was pretty good.
We rode it once before watching the concert by Red: A Taylor
Swift Cover Band and twice after. (7/28/24)
|
 |  |
Somehow,
our ticket had two extra rides on it, which is exactly how many more
rides Lee had been wanting to try out. Amazing luck!

|
 |
So we brought one out to the trampoline. (7/29/24)
|
