The kids are back to school, feeling mature in 4th and 7ths grades!
We took a trip to San Diego to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Hayley spent hours looking at old family jewelry and Grandma’s fabrics, RJ spent hours diving into and jumping over the waves. We were fortunate to catch up with extended family and friends.
Aligning with fourth grade history, we explored a well preserved gold mining town, Columbia, CA. We cheered for a small parade, dipped candles, mined for gold, tried a variety of candy, climbed rocks and had a great day. The evening was complete with a spectacular lightening storm and power outage.
