Lake Natoma Inn cont....

More fun to be had at the Lake Natoma Inn

Following are (way to many - had sooo many to choose from) pictures from our time in Sacramento.  

This patio overlooks our hotel & entrance to the bike trails.  We had a nice dinner here.

 Roxy waiting patiently while we raid the vending machines.

Cameron just up and ready to ride.

Cooper ready to tear it up.

Eddie just had to try this rope swing.  So much fun!  The kids thought it was cool.

The place we stay hosts tons of weddings (we have spied on a few in the past) - They were all set up for the weekend weddings so we took advantage of the nice picture sites.

Eddie and I did a mock wedding under the arbor later in the evening (after a few cocktails at dinner) bummer all the pictures were blurry because it was hilarious.

Back at the lake, Cameron & I rowing to shore to play with Cooper & Roxy.

Brotherly love @ dinner.

Love...

Messing around in town on our walk home from dinner.

It was hot there!!

A ride along Lake Natoma - such beautiful trails.

Can't wait for our next adventure!

Cousins & Sisters

We made our annual trip to the Lake Natoma Inn. (We stayed there a couple of summers ago so we could be close to my mom when she was ill - )  We just love the place.  It's got a great little pool, awesome bike trails, it's close to Lake Folsom, walking distance to old town Folsom with great shops & restaurants, and the best part - it's close to my sisters who I see not nearly often enough! We were able to spend time with Amy 2 nights for dinner, took my niece Caityln to the lake with us, swam with Ethan one afternoon and went to dinner with Becky and everyone 1 night.

 Eddie-the human buoy

 Ahh...relaxing in the hot tub - who cares if its 100 outside

Well, the trip was short but sweet.  It was great to the kids together and great to spend some time with my sisters!

Summer Olympics

Cooper has been so excited to learn to front flip off the diving board.  I kept telling him he'd have to wait until Eddie was with us to practice those kind of things.  He got his wish this past weekend and by the second time was landing them.  That was it...no going back now - front flips are the best!

Cameron is cheering him on as he goes for another.....

Eddie had to get out there and show him how it's done.  Check out that form!  It's a 10.

So forget the Olympics this summer we have our own games going on.

Happy Birthday you old man!

 Happy Birthday Eddie....doesn't matter how old he gets, he will never catch up to me - lucky guy!  We celebrated his birthday at our local lake - Lake Sonoma in Healdsburg, CA.  We had a great relaxing day, ate some food, wake boarded (well Billy did we were to wimpy to get in the cold water), tubed and boated around the lake.  

The Boys

Take me out to the the ballgame

To kick off Eddie's birthday week we went to his and Cameron & Cooper's first ever baseball game to see our one & only San Francisco Giants.  We surprised the boys with the tickets the morning of the game and the first thing Cooper wanted to do was make a big sign he could hold up to cheer them on.  So with our Giants gear and baseball gloves in tow we headed to the game.  

We had  some pretty decent seats.  Cooper was hoping to catch a foul ball the entire time.

 Outside the park after the game.  Cooper's awesome sign...Cameron & I were waving it around and dancing around with our big #1 fingers trying like heck to make it on TV but it didn't happen.

The birthday boy and his boys + all the swag including cotton candy & kettle corn or course.

It was a great game.  They won by 1 which makes it exciting.  We all loved going and hope to make it again this summer.  Go Giants!

Eggs & Ham

Cameron & Cooper love going to the annual Fireman's Breakfast to get pancakes, eggs & ham.  

"We got lucky and saw a helicopter fly overhead and get really close.  We got really lucky and it landed at the breakfast." said Cooper

 We got to go check out the helicopter and ask the captain questions about it and their rescues.

Can't beat a great cheap breakfast cooked by the firefighters!

WooHoo

It's summer vacation!  Let the fun begin.  The kids and I are off until August 20th.  Loving it!!
