Busy - that's for sure!!!
Let's see:
July 25-26 - I enjoyed an overnight High Adventure activity with the young women. We were at Granite Arches Indoor Climbing Facility and it was a blast!
July 26 - Youth dance at the Cannery (we had the dance in the parking lot). It was so much fun and I wish I would have brought my camera!!!! You know I was dancing and having a great time!July 27 - Big D created a fun game that is played with a ton of cups set up on two sides of a table. There is one player on each end and they take turns bouncing the ball across to the other side in hopes of making it in one of the cups. If you make it in the cup, you get to remove that from the table. The first one with no cups (their cups are opposite them, in front of the other player) on the table wins! Very fun!
July 28, July 30, and August 1 - Big D participated in the Kid Olympics hosted by my friends 2 oldest children! I was very impressed with how organized they were! So professional and fun!
Aug 1 - We hosted the Elders Quorum party at our house (guess that's what happens when your husband is the Elders Quorum President). Those that came had a fun time playing Outburst, boxing each other on the Wii, bowling, and laughing, hard!
Soooo cute!
The Henry's getting ready to box each other!
Aug 5 - All aboard!!!! Little C was very excited to be on the Skunk Train! We took a 4 hour ride into the Redwood Forest. Wow those are some big trees! Big D kept asking what state we were in. We explained several times that we were still in CA just in a different city. He's so use to our vacations out of the country (to warm destinations) and our own city being so dang hot that he couldn't believe there was some where so cold in CA. We also enjoyed a fun game of UNO.
Aug 6 - We searched the tide pools at MacKerricher State Park, watched Carson climb a tall rock (I 'bout had a heart attack), skipped rocks into the ocean, drove to Mendocino, saw the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, ate dinner at a yummy restaurant in Fort Bragg, and watched movies in bed!
This is a small eel that Little C found!
Well - that's what I've been up to, can't wait to check out everyone's blogs and see what you've been doing.
Leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite summer memory has been!

I have been wondering where you were!!! Looks like you have been really busy!!! Fun but busy right? I did the skunk train when I was a kid. What a great memory you made for your kids. I still remember it from 20+ years ago.
I would have to say with out a doubt my favorite summer memory was dinner at your house!! :)
I am feelin' you on the screaming 2 1/2 year old boys. Mine is the king of scream! I think you just have to wait it out. Sometimes distraction/diversion works.
Holy busy, Batman! Looks like you have been having SO much fun (minus the screaming of course)...don't take on too much, girl...you know what I'm talking about! :) Miss you!
I should have known you were out of town. It looks like lots of fun time and wonderful summer memories. I am glad that all is going well for you.
I want to be your kid! Looks like a fun summer. I love the picture of the Henry's. They are great. I think we are going to have to try Dallin's game. It sounds like something my son, Josh would love. He might just be onto something!!
Thanks for sharing!

We are definitely going to play that game. What fun. i love that you can feel all kinds of weather in CA if you just drive a few hours.
Your vacation sounds like you had a great time! I love the ocean! I love the picture of the family on the train. And I love those pictures of Carson with the magnifying glass, hilarious! Well, sadly summer is to an end. But I'm glad you had a fun one!
