there are some things i will miss

After eight years of homeschooling, i'm frankly looking forward to next year when all four girls will be in school. There are some things i will miss...like going to Elkhorn Slough for Science Class (above) and biking on the ocean front path in monterey for PE with Gwen (below).

 here's olivia and her bff, calissa. they've been buddies since birth.

 Grandpa by the river on our angel's camp trip. you can't see the rope swing but it was there. And i was wishing i had my suit on.



 Grandma and Lily

 This lake was the treasure of our trip. New Melones Lake was crystal and gleaming and laden with running trails through meadows and wildflowers. We rented a little fishing boat to tour the lake on, Grandpa even taught me how to drive. (Don't worry, it only goes to 15mph)
