Yippee! All four of my kids are in school all day! I had so much I was going to do, and so much I wanted to do, and did I do it? HAH! I watched a friend's little boy, and read a book. I wasn't even a good mommy to my only child left home. Oh well, it has only just started! Tomorrow I'm getting a massage - so I DO know how to enjoy......
Yea, school!
Watch for pictures soon!

Family trip
Mid July, we shoved the 7 of us and a nephew into the vehicle and drove 2500 miles to Crater Lake, Oregon, over to the Coast, down through the Redwoods to San Fransisco, over to Lake Tahoe and home. We tented except in San Fran. It was a blast (tons of fun and dirt), the kids were really good (surprisingly), and we made some awesome memories (like cliff jumping - ahhhhh). When I can get the camera back from Thao, I will put pictures up!
On the last day, during the drive home, I had the kids write down their 10 favorite things. It truly helped me to keep it all in perspective.
JOEY (age 4): The castle and beach at Lake Tahoe
Jumping off the dock
LANCE (age 6): swimming, crab fishing, tipool (tide pool), cratelake (Crater Lake), chasig chipmos (chasing chipmunks), chocelet, DS, seals and sea lions, rosting mashmeos (roasting marshmellows), going home
AUDREY (age 9): Cliff jumping, watching the stars, tidal pools, roasting 'mellows and dogs, the fresh air, exploring with friends, the smell of a campfire, the Silver Man dancing, hiking to Emerald Bay, seeing pictures in the clouds
AARON (age 12): jumping off the dock, jumping into Crater Lake, crab fishing,tide pools, adventuring, souvenir shopping, swimming, playing the DS, seeing animals, getting chocolate (at Ghirardelli)
TODD (turned 14 on the trip): Sleeping in a bed, jumping of the cliff
