Catch-up! Watermelon! Kayaking!

I said I'd update you, but I failed to do so. Sorry. I'll update you now.

At the time of our last post, the car was broken down again. Turns out they had just forgotten to tighten a hose or something. They fixed it and we haven't had any car problems since. Life has been so much simpler since all of that stuff.

Heidi and I have been making ice cream lately. It is the best thing ever. So far we've made raspberry sorbet, blueberry sorbet, peppermint ice cream, coconut ice cream, peach/blackberry swirl ice cream, and watermelon sorbet. All were amazing. The coconut was pretty heavy. For the peppermint we had to crush 30 or so of those little peppermint candy things with a hammer. It was about 11 pm at the time (wasn't tired) and I don't think our neighbors appreciated that. The watermelon was best. It actually looked like just squished watermelon, but it tasted incredible. I wish we had taken a picture.

But it looked exactly like this.

We've still been adventuring in D.C. It's been incredibly hot and humid for the Summer, though, so we haven't gotten out as much as we'd like. But last weekend we went kayaking in a little canal right next to the Potomac. The water was perfectly still and there was a pleasant breeze. It was wonderful. Except this fly hitched a ride in my kayak and kept biting my legs for like an hour. It was unkillable. Karma?

Most importantly, my little brother got married. The wedding was gorgeous. Here are some pictures.

I promise I'll do better with posting more often. Trust me.
