• Hello all.

  We got back from vacation on Sunday.  Our trip home was uneventful.  We stopped in Stockton to visit our cousins for about an hour. That was a relaxing pause in our 9 hour drive.

  Our trip was really short and so there wasn’t time to do a lot while we were there. We did go to the water park one day. 

  

  
  Gracie finally overcame her fear of the bigger water rides.  It was fun to see her get all excited over it.
  
  

  

  

  
  
  She is so excited that she did it — here’s a short video of her excitement right afterwards!

  We all look forward to the wicked lightning and thunder storms they have up there in the summertime.  But it was so dry that it only barely rained about 5 minutes one night.  Enough for the kids to run around in it and for it to produce a beautiful rainbow.

   
  
  
  
  Here is a video I made with my phone right before it started raining to send to my friend (but my messaging wouldn’t send it ).  It’s of Gracie and me in my parents backyard relaxing!
  
  
  
  We start school next week on Wednesday.  I’m looking forward to it and to these last few lazy days of summer.

  Have a great week.
