About Dodger Dogs:
It's ENORMOUS!

and about the video screen:
Why is there an iphone over there?
I can see why he said it . . .

A few more pictures . . .


The first one is from the preschool VIP day last month, where someone other than who usually goes to school with the student gets to see the school and play. They had fun.


These next two are from Leo Carillo State Beach. Grandma Carol took them with her iphone and I am glad we have them. It shows how much our son loves to climb on everything and anything.

Leo Carillo State Beach - Part 2 Tide Pools

After striking camp we headed down to the beach to explore the tide pools.


And, of course, play in the sand!

Leo Carillo State Beach - Part 1 Camping

Here are pics from our Ward Campout to Leo Carillo State Beach Greetings from Leo Carillo State Beach
Grandma Carol camped with us, too.

We chose the perfect tent site. Right next to Pride Rock.


Roarrrrrrrrrrrrr!



There really were wild animals around. Squirrels and Bluejays kept us guarding our food during the day, and this masked bandit entertained us in the evening. He almost made off with a garbage bag but we chased him down. Then he did grab a canister of peanuts and took off. We didn't really hear him after that. He was probably too busy eating.


We were busy eating, too. We made Lamb Stew in our dutch oven for dinner and there were yummy breakfast burritos in the morning.
We slept well, stayed pretty warm and really enjoyed the setting and the company.

Audobon Center at Deb's Park

It is spring again and perfect weather for an outing to Deb's Park with some friends.
Look at those cute girls!


Last year we found a lizard on a log, this year a Sammy.

Some of the boys were getting grumpy by the end of the outing. It was time for some reverse pyschology. "Ok boys, I want to get a picture of all of you frowning. Whatever you do, don't smile! No smiling!"

It worked!

We discovered the water pumps this time. It kept us going up the trail and back down but we saw more of the nature center and really enjoyed seeing the water splash down the rocks and into the "river" we dug for it.

How to Share (at least most things)

Preschool Field Trip - Bus Ride

Here is our first preschool field trip.


Tournament Park

We had a fun outing to Tournament Park in March. The park is level with a lot of sidewalks for riding and plenty of grass for running.



There are many ways to play with a bike!
