Every year our beloved heather has a reunion. We never go, but this year we did. Over thirty golden retreivers in peteluma...

It was amazing to see the genetics in play... A bunch of brothers, sisters and cousins that all look like eachother.

For the last three weeks it has been non-stop activities. Finally a couple hours to chill with the kids at the pool.

We had a pretty awesome time together at Family camp at Mount Hermon.
It's practically in our backyard, and SUCH a great resource for the
kids and future visits.

We'll be back.

A day of courage and crafts... Chloe and I did a ropes course in the redwoods... 100 feet above the forest floor. Tucker and I built (and decorated) a water rocket out of a 2 liter bottle.

We finished it off with a dance revolution and s'mores...

Some really fun activities today, including a climbing wall, rope course and archery. We're off to dinner and evening activities.

This weekend we're at mount Hermon family camp! Lots of fun activities for both the kids and adults.

I have a fifth grader and a 2nd grader that started today. All very exciting. They met their teachers and checked out all the 'new-ness' of it all.

I think I could hit a set of golf clubs better when I was three years old then I do now.

I was going through old photos and thought of my late grandparents today. Graham Howard ( 'Bopi' we would call him ) and Kathleen.
this picture was taken in 1991 in San Diego.

We had a nice outing at the giants game today, before we're back to school next week.
