Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in Bakersfield with the Bone family. It was a special time spent with special friends. Bryan and Justin buried a turkey and a ham in an underground pit. The boys golfed some and then the girls joined in for football and a little bunt ball. ( A great game that Mark Simmons taught the boys) We ate so much food and took walks to see the sheep. A very peaceful and wonderful Thanksgiving.

Bakersfield Visit

Last weekend our family met Layne in Bakersfield for a visit to the Bone's home. It was a wonderful weekend spent with wonderful friends. The boys had great fun experiencing some of farm life and exploring. We had never been to the Buttonwillow grounds so it was nice to visit that part as well.

San Diego Special Meeting

We had a wonderful special meeting my Aunt and Uncle came down from Monterey and then Layne( and Justin) came down from San Luis Obisbo and surprised us! It was a busy weekend but we sure enjoyed our company. It was nice to have our whole family home for the weekend at least.

San Luis Obispo

Last weekend I traveled up to visit Layne in San Luis Obispo. It was a fun and relaxing weekend. Layne and her roommates have a cute apartment, it is warm and fun at the same time. I love Layne's roommates and all of the friends in SLO. There seems to be an open door policy and kids wander in and out of apartments within the complex. Justin came up for the weekend and toured around with us in SLO. He is a great guy and we had a great time walking downtown and hiking .

River Trip

River Trip

Every year our family heads up to Blythe California to visit our good friends the Hightower Family. We go to the River to camp and water ski for the day and cookout. Lots of fun is had by all and wonderful fellowship with wonderful friends.

Labor Day Bike Ride

On Labor Day Monday we decided to head to the bay and go bike riding. Mel and Diana Clark and our family met down by Mission Bay and rode a 13 mile trail and then set up a bon fire at Fiesta Island to watch the Sea World Fire works. Leona Diaz and her boys joined us for dinner over the fire. Fun was had by all.
