SUMMERTIME FUN

Mama is still getting used to the weather up here in the northwest. It seems that back home in California during the summer daylight saving time, it would be the hottest from 12:00 p.m. till 3:00 p.m. Then things would start to cool down a bit. Up here in the northwest at this time it does not get hot till 4:30 p.m. till 9:00 p.m. It was 6:45 p.m. when these pictures of Mimi and Ellissa were taken today. It is actually so hot that our cats Ollie and Stanley who normally love going outside, stayrd inside where it is much cooler. Since we are in-charge of our monthly China family playdate this Saturday at our home, mama decided to open up Mimi's pool to check and see how big it is for the kids to play in. The temperature is suppossed to be in the 80's this weekend.

THE PUTNEY CHIMP FAMILY

Papa, mama and Mimi. The reason for the puckered lips is because Mimi is forever saying "Kiss Me!"

SPACE CHIMPS

We love the movies and Space Chimps is another summer movie that Mimi would like to go see. Judging from the trailers, it reminds me of the movie Planet Of The Apes only computerized. It is also another means of cheap summer fun.

MORE SWIMMING PICTURES

Mimi is just like a fish in the water. She was quite upset yesterday for the fact that she was not allowed in the water before her class started. The pool was opened for public swim time but mama did not have her swim suit on. Shame on her. When public swim time was over the lifeguards roped off the areas for swimming classes. It was only them Mimi could go into the pool. Of course I was constantly asked by Mimi the universal question of "WHY can't I go in the pool before class?"
