Trips!

We went to Montana and it was cold this year because we went earlier than normal.  This meant we did other things than swim all day.  We drove to Bozeman to see the Museum of the Rockies, we saw Wonder Woman, fished, went to the Reef, batting cages, tours and they did swim.  Another great year.

We drove my friend Paola up to her home in Sonoma to swim and eat.  Our car overheated in the heat and almost broke down which led us to getting the mini van.  Miguel loved Paola.  Following her around, helping her out (I had no idea he could help without eye rolls, whines and without being asked) and asking her to tell stories.  She made a beautiful spread too!

Then we drove the mini van to Ventura to see Ted and Thea and boys.  Miguel, Tonio and I - along with Thea and her two- swam out to these platforms way past the surf break.  Little did the boys know, but a couple of days before they shut down the beach due to 5 great whites. I swam so fast- I was almost sick.  I was completely terrified.  I told them the next day there were probably sharks.  Why?!?!?

Pinnacles Camping Trip or aka Mini Mather

We were invited to go on a group camping trip and it was more of a camping extravaganza in 100 degree weather.  Highlights:

- Miguel in the wild:  chasing raccoons, using a sling shot and breaking a window and reading camp stores.

- The beautiful hike that was highly stressful- the boys running along cliffs shoving each other to be in front!

- Roasting peeps

-Mentos experiments

- Spraying/ killing ants- Arrow

- 100 degrees in that dirty pool with hair balls and was more milky with lotion than clear

- the bazillion stars

- the nice kids the boys loved playing with
