One Finnster, plus “Walter the Blanket,” minus all energy, equals a happy chap. 🙂

Making a splash on July 4
We enjoyed an action-packed Forth with the lads yesterday—first enjoying a party & parade at our friends’ Lorraine & Brad’s house; then catching a nap (well, trying) to prepare for a late night; rocking a Slip n’ Slide at our friends’ Jake & Shay’s BBQ. Check out a gallery from the festivities!

Tsunday Tsunami!
Evacuate!!
The boys had fun testing their mettle—and their absorbency—on Sunday at Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz. Check out a little gallery from the adventure.
I keep meaning to record & post the bizarre little song the boys composed to celebrate our “Guys’ Night” outings. Its singsong lyrics in full:
Midnight!
Bug bite!
Tryin’ a bite of my poo-poo sandwich!!
Apparently Guys’ Night is all about transgression & chow, so it kinda works. 🙂 Anyway, last night I took the dudes out for some Five Guys burgers (faaaar more delicious than the sandwich in the song), and Henry celebrated by walking on the giant piles of potatoes:
Afterwards the guys happened across the trunkful of birthday presents I’d recently scored (shovels “Seymour Jr.” for Henry & fold-up “Root Chop” for Finn). They were pretty pumped—Hen especially!

The Wet Set
Oh, just a typical summer Friday afternoon at Pasitos… 🙂 The guys have great fun getting drenched with their pals, including (pictured here) Clark & Jacobo.
I know—given his history, I can’t believe it, either! And yet here you see him, complete with his new little bear (named Manijeh after our dentist-office friend who gave it to him) getting a trim of its own. Wonders never cease…

“Where’s Finno?”
Oh hi, I’ve misplaced a Finnegan somewhere in this giant metal sculpture. You haven’t by chance seen him, have you?

Ziplining Padre
When a guy’s wife & kids are off living it up on a glass-bottom boat, what’s he to do? Naturally he gets trussed up with a bunch of nerds, rides up a mountain on a Unimog, and then ziplines his head off (fortunately not literally!). 🙂
Though it’s a tad off-topic for the Micronaxx blog, here’s a little gallery of the adventure. (As for the boat trip, Margot’s phone crapped out, so we’ll just have to imagine Pancho the Sea Lion & the peanut-eating fish (which sounds like a crappy ’90’s band).)
So, this one time, Margot left me alone with the boys by a fountain… 😉

Who’s got four thumbs & loves some sunset beach-play?
These guuuuuys. 🙂

Unjust Dessert
If you think Henry would be enthusiastic about sharing his dessert with “El Chivo” (aka The Goat, aka Dad-O, Consumer of Leftovers), well, you probably don’t know Henry. 😉
Bonus: The “Pizza-Eating Machine” passes out happily post-snack.

Luchadores en “¡Desayuno Loco!”
Recipe: Take one (1) Mexican lucha libre mask, add two (2) Micronaxx, mix in liberal amounts of bacon, and stir wildly. 🙂
Finn toasts s’more eyebrow hair, braving the campfire as his pal Magdalena looks on:

The boys have been enjoying the heck out of the pool in Cabo san Lucas, to the point that I can barely type this with my pruney fingers. 🙂
Mom-O had the great idea to buy them each a little Lego set that we could take with us & build while on vacation. Henry’s is particularly perfect as it features a Coast Guard diver & boat. That’s perfect until, of course, a tiny part (specifically a translucent blue diver’s mask) disappears (against a blue tile pool floor). Henry’s loud wails that “I’ll never be happy again!!” attracted the attention & help of a nice group of moms & dads visiting from Iowa without their kids—and luckily Dad-O’s probing toe saved the day. Balance was restored to the universe, and while the boys play the grown-ups have been enjoying chats with a cool older couple from Southern Cal (Berkeley grads who served in the Peace Corps in Afghanistan).
Here’s a little gallery showing the happy squirts in the water.
Check out the gallery from our most recent Pasitos camping adventure! We went to Mt. Madonna with Henry’s preschool buddies and their families. Happily, Pasitos “alumni” like Magdalena and Finn were also in attendance – and everyone had a blast. Everyone was excited about hiking, arts and crafts, games, cookouts, sleepovers, singing and s’mores around the campfire.

You can take the boys out of Illinois but you can’t take the Illinois out of the boys. 🙂

Hentiquity: G-Man of Yore
Our friend Donna spotted the dour little gent below in a book today & was reminded of Mr. Henry “I’ll just use my frown as a hat” Nack. I can see why!
