Hank the Septopus

As with every trip away, you have to work hard to make sure things are ready while you're gone.  That's what today was about, plus a bit of packing.  Here's the gang at KidPak using Chris' phone along with a new app that turns your pictures into some sort of colored pencil art.  Madison will like this one - I might get it.

We had a lot of heavy clouds, but no rain.  The temperature is so amazingly humid and hot outside - it's got to set some sort of records.  It makes you long for fall a bit, so those back-to-school signs aren't quite as bad right now, because you think, with school there are generally cooler temperatures.  Perhaps!

This morning, we went to see a movie together, a good one.

We saw "Finding Dory," and the three of us enjoyed it very much.  Along with some popcorn too.  Okay, a lot of popcorn.  That's how we roll.  The theater, by the way, was packed.  This is a popular movie this summer.  And you can see why - it's a good one.  Though we've enjoyed the other ones we've seen as well.

The character of Hank, who you can see above, was one of our favorites.  He's an octopus - or at least a septopus, having only seven tentacles.  There are so many great characters in this, and with it comes a renewed love of all the things in the ocean.

Except for maybe goblin sharks, box jellyfish, and maybe those Atlantic wolffish.  And great white sharks too.  No thanks you!
