SEPTEMBER 2013

SEPTEMBER 2013

CAMPING IN IDYLLWILD:  We camped at a private Thousand Trails campground.  It was fun, they had a concert, but they didn't have fire rings.

HIKING:  We found a nice hike that wasn't too steep.  It took forever to hike away from the campground.  Amazingly enough it seemed to take half the time to go back.

THUNDERSTORMS:  It had been in the 90's in Fallbrook for  2 weeks.  The best place to find cool weather is in the mountains where the clouds settle.  We decided to go swimming later in the day just in time to get rained on.  It dropped to 60 degrees and sure enough back in Fallbrook it was back in the 90's.

TAHQUITZ ROCK, IDYLLWILD:  I have vivid memories of attempting to rock climb that rock.  We: Cristine, James, Adam, and I only got up 3 pitches, but it was scary looking down at our little car hundreds of feet below.  We quit when there was yet another lightening storm.  Good thing we did since we didn't get back to our car till 10 PM.

AUBREY THE SQUIRREL:  She looks cute roasting a marshmallow.

AUBREY GETS HER FIRST SET OF UNDERWEAR:  Aubrey chose Dora underwear.  She wouldn't let them go while shopping.  She hasn't figured out how to go potty in the potty yet, but she does understand, "poor Dora" when she pees in her underwear.  She does mention when she has a stinky diaper and asks to have her diaper changed.

THE TRIPLE CRAWL

SETH GOES PADDLE BOATING:  On their daddy and son outing Seth and his dad went paddle boating in Oceanside Harbor.

SLIDING IN NEW PORT BEACH:  I went to the temple and then we went jogging on the New Port board walk.  We stopped at the playground on the beach.  I would love to go to this Elementary school.

LAVENDER HILLS PUMPKIN FARM:  We went there to attend one of Kelly's concerts.  It was a fun atmosphere that reminded me of the east coast.

AUGUST 2013 FIRST DAYS OF SCHOOL

AUGUST 2013

ELAINA STARTS KINDERGARTEN:  Her first day of school with her new teacher Mrs. Costa and her new class mates.  Life is changing now that we have our oldest in kindergarten.  I am becoming a chauffeur mom.

SETHS FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL:  Seth has a wonderful teacher Mrs. Craven.  He seems to like pre-school but he does like to hide behind the door before he goes into class.
