It wasn't outdoor weather on Friday evening so we got out the s'mores stuff and roasted the vegan marshmallows over candles. It took more time that way but it was so fun and created a memory. They were yummy and it's definitely worth doing again!

Bike Ride!
We rode our bikes about 15 miles yesterday! We started in a small town just north of us and road about 7 miles further north to a lighthouse. Sad news was that the lighthouse was not open for us to tour. We had fun anyway though. We got to see a shipwreck site and even met some people who had just moved here from California. It was exciting to see what a small world it is. They worked at Loma Linda University Medical Center where I was born 36 years ago. Neat!
Ready!
Shipwreck site.
Just hangin' around. :)
Hangin' out in the pine trees!
Walkin' the line.
The kids were also spotted and rewarded for wearing their helmets. This is a coupon for either an ice cream cone or apple slices at McDonalds...a place they've never been before! :)
After the ride, we cooled our feet in the water. It was a hot day and the water felt so good!
River Rats
This week at River Rats (a free hands on summer science program in our area), we learned all about fish. We learned their names, what they eat, where they live, and whether they are native or invasive. The kids also did a fun painting craft and search the water for fun water creatures!
Fourth of July
Our School was in the parade again! And wow, was it a hit!! We passed out about 2400 bananas plus over a 1000 banana stickers. I've never heard so many people yelling for bananas. We got a lot of thank you's for the healthy parade treat!
After the parade we went down to enjoy some of the other holiday festivities. The kids designed and put together little wooden boats.
The most hilarious things we did was to watch the cardboard boat races. When we first heard about it we never dreamed that people actually got in their boats and raced them across the water. The boats were made of cardboard and duct tape. That's all. Some were amazing and some where destined to sink from the start. :)
There is always a sand castle building contest at the beach so towards the end of the day it's fun to wander that way to see all the creations.
A Boat Ride
It was just what we needed after picking strawberries all morning! Life is too often busy and stressful and a boat ride was just what we needed! It was so relaxing and fun! :)
Chaeli didn't like the spray that would occasionally fly in her face. :) To her credit, she wasn't feeling very well either.
Enjoying the ride...
The captain and first-mate.
Loving the ride in the front of the boat!
He couldn't get enough of this!
We only did circles part of the time! :)
It was a chilly summer day so the extent of getting in the water was hands!
