Some evenings were made for popsicles. This was one of them.
It wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold - just right.
A freshly mowed lawn, Rocket Popsicles, and a few quiet moments with the kids.
This is what summer's all about!

Mini Mozart
I am sure that Josh is a piano prodigy - I mean, just look at the talent! Not many people can play the piano while in a diaper and use their left foot. Classy. Ready for a new student, Ginger? :)

Fountain of Youth
Our picnic group met at the Purdue Founder's Fountain today.
Even though it was quite warm out, Spencer was shivering within the first 30 minutes! (Are those rib bones I see?)
Sam shows off some acrobatics.
I think it's safe to say that a glorious time was had by all!

Harry Potter Alternate Endings
I finished rereading the 6th Harry Potter book the other night. Awesome, as usual. I am totally excited for the new one to come out! (Although I have to admit that I'm also kinda sad, since it will be the last one ever!)
I am now more convinced than ever that Snape is a bad guy. He was totally playing the Order of the Phoenix as a double agent. Okay, even if he wasn't, he's still a jerk.
I had forgotten how much kissing went on in the last book. Do you think it will be Ron and Hermione's turn in book 7?
I don't think Harry will die in book 7. What would be the point of that? They're the Harry Potter books, not Voldemort's. Okay, so that's pretty shaky logic, but I still stand by it.
Last night Lance and I came up with several alternate endings for the series. They've already
proven themselves at other times, so they're bound to be winners with Harry. What do you think?
Alternate Ending #1
While Harry and Voldemort have one final battle, Voldemort drops this bomb:
V: Harry, I'm your father.
H: No, that's not true! That's impossible!
V: Harry, you can destroy the Ministry. They have foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the magical world as father and son.
H: Noooo!!!
They continue fighting and Voldemort cuts off Harry's hand, and Harry falls off a very large cliff. He lives, of course, only to discover that Cho is his sister. Ewww.
Alternate Ending #2
Harry discovers one of the horcruxes is a ring in the possession of some weird little dude who keeps calling it his 'precious'. Harry then meets up with an elf, a king, and a troll, and they all travel to New Zealand to fight 10 million orcs - I mean trolls - before he can kill off Voldemort.
Alternate Ending #3
Harry finishes off Voldemort, becomes an Auror, and also becomes. Years later he meets up with Ginny again, and they get married. (Him for the first time, her for the third.) He soon discovers, however, that she is still secretly in love with Dean, who has married her best friend. After trying unsuccessfully to make her fall in love with him, he decides to leave. He tells her that he's leaving her as he flies on his broomstick out of their large mansion.
Ginny: Harry, Harry...if you go, where shall I go, what shall I do?
Harry: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Alternate Ending #4
While searching for Voldemort's horcruxes, Harry meets a powerful wizard named Norpheus. Norpheus offers him two potions: one red, one blue.
Norpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue potion - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red potion - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.
Harry takes the red potion. He discovers that Voldemort is actually hooking all of his victims up to a large, magic-producing computer, using their energy to power it. Norpheus helps him prepare for the inevitable final battle.
Harry: I know kung fu, uh, I mean magic.
Norpheus: Show me.
A side effect is that Harry can no longer seem to speak in sentences longer than four words.
