A larger post will follow, but I was so excited to see that my scanner worked with my Laptop today. Was a freak thing and I have no idea how to get it to work again. This picture was on the scanner, so FINALLY, I have her 2009 school picture to share with everyone. If you would like this picture in email form please let me know and I will send it to you so you can print it yourself. I did not buy a large package of pictures this year!

An Afternoon at the Beach

Yesterday we had a fun afternoon. I thought it would be fun to go let the kids play in the sand. It was a beautiful day and why stay home when it is so nice out! We headed to Round Valley Reservoir. It was so much better than I could have imagined. Our friends Barbra and Will came with us, which it made it better to have someone else to play with. Off season it does not cost anything to go and no one was there! They have several playground areas and beach. So the kids went back and forth. Then we had to go for a little walk to find a bathroom, where we discovered another park with swings. This was the first time Savannah was in the sand. She loved it. (and did not eat it... YEAH!) There was no swimming allowed (for many obvious reasons) so telling the kids they could not go in the water was easy and they only got a little wet trying to get some water for the sand. I liked it so much that the next time it is warm we are going back... maybe with lunch this time (or dinner!). If you live in the area, I strongly suggest it as something different and fun to do! After Memorial Day they charge to get in... so we will get all we can out of it now!
