Squid Hats

A couple of weeks ago was Cephalopod Week. Cephalopods are squids, nautiluses, octopodes, and cuttlefish. Daddy found some Vampyroteuthis infernalis (vampire squid) hat templates. I colored them, cut them out, and taped them together. Here we are wearing them:

Earlier Mommy had put them on some of the bears upstairs. I gathered them together, put the hats back on, and took a picture. I couldn't get the squid heads to stand up straight.

Last, I took a picture of a cephalopod wearing a cephalopod hat. This is Cuttles the cuttlefish:

Conclusion: Squid hats fit geeks in all shapes and sizes.

Geek Girl's clarinet teacher is a member of the Air Force Concert Band and he suggested we attend one of the summer concerts.  We went last Friday night and enjoyed the lovely evening and beautiful music. It was held at the Air Force Memorial:

D.C. is known for its hot and sticky summers.  Daddy Geek and Geek Girl decided to escape the heat Sunday and go jumping at a warehouse full of trampolines:
