Thanks Papa!

Our month here is almost up.  Even though we miss daddy, the kids and I are enjoying the dirt here in CA.  We had horse camp the first week here.  The kids loved working with the horses and making crafts.  I was stuck in the kitchen most of the time.  We get up almost every morning and feed the horses, then work with papa or play with cousins.  Pica had her baby, a little filly and the kids go say hello every morning. 

We took a day trip to San Francisco and saw the sights.  We walked through Chinatown and bought some fortune cookies and souveniers.  We walked through Pier 39 and saw the sea lions and had a picture taken with Captain Jack Sparerib.  We drove down Lombard Street. 

Papa took us on a short camping trip to the beach and the redwoods.  The kids loved camping on the beach (it was chilly!)  Then the next day we drove inland to the Drive Thru Tree Park.  The kids really wanted to drive through the tree, but sadly the excursion and trailer would not fit.

I will add more pictures soon.

Piano Recital

Phoebe finished her 3rd year of Let's Play Music, so that means song composition. She was very proud of her song Chihuahuas are Little.

On another note, how do I link YouTube and have the video on the blog and not a link?

It is hot!  Luckily we are susposed to cool down this weekend.  But right now, IT IS HOT!  I let the kids swim today after homework and cleaning.
