Kayacking on the American River

We had such a fun Memorial Day with our Fawson friends, kayacking on the river, near Folsom. It took Lauryn awhile to loosen her grip on the side, but eventually she began to enjoy it as much as the rest of us. Ellie, however, had a blast hanging off the side and getting wet!

Our Tennis Summer

This summer has found us each day at the tennis courts. Ben's coming up on his 3rd year and Lauryn just began this summer. (Ellie was devastated to have to wait another year.) Ben has also began competing in a summer League and has really enjoyed that. It's been a great experience for him and we've enjoyed watching both their progress.

I Love My Kids!

So this is what I woke up to the other afternoon, following a much-needed nap! The whole house was picked up and vaccumed, dishes put away, floor mopped, bedrooms cleaned - so what was a mom to do? Go back to bed! Nah, we went and had a Jamba Juice!

WICKED!!

Lauryn and I had the best time seeing Wicked. It's by far one of the best plays ever! It was an absolutely amazing cast. Lauryn was singing along to some of her favorites (Popular, Defying Gravity) and completely enraptured the entire time and I found wishing I could return for the next show! Thanks to Aunt Babe, we had the amazing seats - 4th row center. Pretty awesome experience. I wasn't sure, however, which Lauryn was more excited about when we left - riding BART into the city or seeing the show!
