To keep myself occupied and to keep the boys entertained over the summer, we're having step-dad day camp. Each week we are diving into different subjects. This week is art week. Today we visited the a local art gallery. Next week is photography week.
We met Michelle for lunch today, with her she had a book with a picture from the artist Shigeo Fukuda titled lunch with helmut on that ties into this and next weeks subjects.
