Sarah’s orthodontist’s office is right across from the library, as well as around the corner from this…
Rancho Buena Vista Adobe… a farm house that was built in 1845. We’ll be studying some California History this year, so this was a perfect first outing.
Walls of the Adobe were nearly 3 feet thick! Talk about stout construction.
The nicest lady, Margie, offered to give us an on the spot 10-minute tour of the Adobe. She made my day… and made the tour super interesting for the kids. So thankful!
Here Margie’s showing the kids the “toaster” – a burning candle on the inside with bread on the outside, toasting.
Makes me feel like the start of school is just around the corner… oh! it is!
========================
The Children’s Museum… aka a glorified children’s play area:
Water table with all sorts of measuring spoons and cups.
Last week’s 10-mi run with Jen. It was h-o-t. We were drenched afterwards!
Eeking out the last few fun days of summer vacation at the beach (Sarah with her good friends).
Summer 2012’s to-do list: Tennis. Check!
I snapped pics of the kids on the first and last days of school last year… wanted to get them on my blog before I forgot. What a difference a year makes.
Wow… check out the change in Josh’s teeth!
We’re excited for a new school year to start! Well, sort of! Ha.
I will truly miss our slow sleep-in mornings. Such is life… will someone please just tell me to just get over it?
