Bean Selfie

-
Image
Toby wanted to take a selfie of himself with the Bean, but was having trouble framing it in his camera. So I gave him mine.   I think he got some pretty good shots.  It's probably a result of not being involved in the photo, but he feels very independent and grown-up in this photo.

I think they spent 30 minutes gathering seedpods and extracting the seeds. This has been a consistent slam-dunk activity for the past 4 years running.

Pre-Game

There were fewer smiles after the game, but it was a great run. Spencer was not rooting for Spain, but he obviously had to be the one to hold their flag.
