Well to say this summer has been busy is an understatement. A couple of weeks after school got out we went camping in Bishop with my family. We had a great time and the girls loved sleeping in the tent and going to the lake. They really wanted to go fishing but I feel that they are still a little too young. Maybe next year. We will have to practice at the duck pond by our house.
While in Bishop we went to Mammoth and walked around. Visited Schat's Bakery where they have the best bread and ginger bread cookies.
After Bishop, my parents took the girls and I to Riverside for some time with them and then we headed out to Havasu for a little over a week. We had some much fun. The girls loved playing in the water. WAY more than I anticipated. They jumped right in and splashed around. It was fun to watch them enjoying themselves and exploring.
While in Havasu, we decided to go to Vegas for a couple of days to visit my grandparents. The girls did great on the trip and it was nice to see my grandparents. We caught them on their anniversary which was nice. The girls warmed up to them quickly. We enjoyed swimming in their pool, eating ice cream and playing with hula hoops. Evelyn got to be pretty good at it.
After a couple of days we headed back to Havasu to finish out the week. We swam, took naps, ate ice cream, sewed and did "fun stuff" (crafts according to Evelyn). It was a wonderful time. I truly enjoyed spending some good time with my mom. I don't get to often but cherish it when I can. Thanks for showing my how to sew. Love you mom.
When we got back to Sacramento, Richard picked us up at the airport. Evelyn and Camille went RUNNING to him and jumped in his arms. They truly missed him. It brought tears to my eyes to see them running to him. He missed them a ton too (he also missed me).
Now that we are back home, we are focusing on remodeling our master bath. We have some problems we HAVE to take care of so we are focused on that.
Richard is in Louisiana for business this week and then we have one more vacation planned before heading back to work on my birthday. It has been a whirlwind summer but has been a blast. I will post pictures when I get them from my mom. I didn't take a camera as I already had too much stuff and was traveling with two kids by myself on the way home.
**** Forgot to mention, during this time we got Camille completely potty trained (using Ice cream as a reward). It was great. She has not had any accidents in about a month. I love having no more diapers. YAY Camille!
