Off to the Missions at San Juan Bautista

I got to spend the day as a chaperone with Conner's class as we travelled to the San Juan Bautista Mission (St. John the Baptist - translated!) near Gilroy/Hollister CA.

The weather was great, the kids were fun and well behaved and I learned a lot. Can't wait until Parker is in 4th grade!

Ice Cream Social

A great way to end the Christmas break! Off to Walnut Creek to enjoy a shared experience of very large ice cream creations. 8 scoops of ice cream, 8 toppings and tons of sides. A good time had by all, and yes, we almost finished it!

Bass Pro Shop Visit

Conner has become quite the fisherman sneaking into the neighboring
Blackhawk development and raiding their well stocked ponds throughout
the golf course. He has been waiting patiently for the past 6 months
for the hour long drive out to Manteca and what appears to be the
worlds largest outdoorsman store. Bass Pro Shops has a massive
aquarium, shooting range, massive rows of fishing gear and everything
else you can (and cannot!) imagine. Great family fun!

Happy New Year!

Well, most of the family made it! Wishing everyone the best in the
upcoming year!
