Solstice day 2018
R and I got to visit the kids' school for their annual Solstice celebration. Their work was very impressive!
It was great to see Omri in this environment now too. He concentrated pretty hard on his latest map project:
I was not in a good position to record a video of this performance (I was in a good position to grab cookies off the treats table though), so this is just a glimpse of it. There is, however, a really good smile captured at 52 seconds.

Monster Jam

Old Red Car victory
My little man here was instrumental in the production of the latest @OldRedCar racing video. He started by shoveling the deck.
In one corner, we have the Old Red Car with added turbo booster:
In the other corner, we have our biggest rival and previous winner of multiple races:
See what happens when the two face off in the video below:
