First day of school

OK, I've got some catching up to do.  

Here we are on the boys 1st day of school.  Cameron is in 5th grade this year.  That is the highest grade of the school and he is loving being the big guy on campus.  Cooper is in 2nd grade.  He is in a 2/3 combo class which will work out great for him.  

I need to dig out the old bell pictures and compare their growing.  I will have to save that for another day.  

We are ready for an exciting school year.  I promise to post some pictures from summer vacation.  We had a great time and can't wait to share with you.

A day at play

Where the heck have we been?

Funny how when I'm off work for the summer and have all this free time I can't seem to manage time for a blog post.  I've got some catching up to do!

We spent our last day of summer vacation (yep, our vacation is already over.  The boys started back yesterday & I started today) in San Francisco.  Our little trip was a last minuted idea and turned out to be a great day.  

We got a late start but made a quick stop at this awesome picture spot. Went to lunch at this great sandwich shop we hadn't eaten at for years - "Pluto's" if any of you are familiar with it - yum!  

Then we headed to the Academy of Science for an afternoon of exploring.  The place is pretty amazing.  They have a new earth quake exhibit.  You enter this "house" complete with wall hanging, china, fish tank & bookshelves and they simulate the 1989 (which Eddie & I clearly remember) and the 1906 earthquake. It was very cool and a great experience for the boys if they ever have to deal with one.   

 To bad the city was so foggy - still beautiful

 Cool fish feeding & coral show

It was a great day in the city.  We hung out with Grandma Sylvia on the way home and had a nice dinner together.  It was a great way to spend our last day off.
