Summer Fun: Tales of entertainment

This one Little Tykes slide has been the source of many hours of entertainment and new games over the years. Thank you Little Tykes for making something so durable. 
First ripe cherry tomato!
My cats are regularly enjoying the catnip that I planted in the garden. I wanted the cats to WANT to hang out in the garden to make sure that we did not have any trouble with voles in the sweet potatoes again.  Catnip attracts them like nothing else... though I am not sure they are in a state to catch voles after they eat it.
For people, catnip is effective as an herbal remedy for intestinal issues and is a calming sleep-aid gentle enough for children. It is an ingredient in some herbal colic remedies. For cats on the other hand, it makes them a little crazy rolling about and needing to be petted.
 The kids wrote and acted out a play for us last week.  It was about a shark who attacks unicorns.
 It had musical accompaniment from A and M. 
 It had a happy ending where they all worked out their differences.
 We took the kids to see "The Other Side of Heaven 2" this weekend.
It was not quite as good as the first one. Great funny parts, lovely spiritual message, and I felt, their was a great message of acting in solidarity with good people of other faiths.
