Day 356

April 12

A fun family day out at Six Flags! Made even more fun by meeting up with an old friend. Debbi and I have been friend since about 1982/1983ish.

Day 320

March 7

Spent a beautiful Sabbath in the Redwoods at Crescent City. We drove through the woods past the Stout Grove.  Then, even though it was foggy at the coast, we enjoyed a picnic overlooking the ocean. At least it wasn't too cold. We found 3 out of 5 letterboxes that we looked for, found some decent sized agates near Pebble Beach, and all in all had a relaxing day.

Day 319

The only howl rooms we could find in Crescent City, CA only had one bed. So we packed our camping cots for the girls. Our room is quite small, so Sarah's cot is right next to the door. At the end of Hannah's cot, we have about 6" to walk past on the way to the restroom. Oh well. We're looking forward to a glorious Sabbath on the coast tomorrow! Perhaps some letterboxing, maybe some hunting for agates. Definitely the picnic lunch we packed. Can't wait!

Day 300

February 15

The theme of the Friendship Banquet was  "50s Diner". The social committee did a great job putting it together. They served vegeburgers, fries, and milkshakes. Sarah and her best friend were the only ones in poodle skirts, although lots of other people did dress up.

Day 220

The best part of Thanksgiving. Fun with family.

Day 168

Breakfast with my brother's family at the Black Bear Diner.

Day 167

Cousins having fun taking selfies.

Day 143

Hannah read a story from "60 Years of Guide" stories to her Great-Mom this afternoon.

Day 141

Had such a fun day at Waterworks Park in Redding!  Charlie's dad's cousin Velda lives in Redding, so she brought her little "adopted" (by way of friendship, nothing legal) granddaughter (age 7) and joined us for the day. It wasn't overly crowded and we rode and rode and rode those water slides. What a surprise to run into a friend from Medford there with her family. Afterwards, Velda took us to dine at an amazing Chinese restaurant at the airport. Heading home now. Definitely a perfect last day before school starts tomorrow! Homeschool, that is!

(Two pictures because Sarah closed her eyes in one and Hannah wasn't smiling in the other because the sun was too bright. )

Day 83

Nice way to end the 4th as well as bring in the Sabbath. Bonfire with friends and family.

Day 79

Happy 91st Birthday to my dear grandma!

Day 21

We went for a bike ride on a beautiful Sabbath afternoon with friends today. We'll be having a pathfinder bikeathon in a couple weeks so we wanted to calculate the mileage of the trail we plan to use. Just about 4 miles one way. Beautiful ride!
