4-25-2009 Saturday - The River

Jeff flew up to Utah on Thursday to meet Drew and help him pack up and drive home. But instead of driving straight home, they went to the river and Luke, Shera and I met them there. It was so windy we decided to fly kites on Saturday. It was a perfect day for it!

Shera had a parrot kite!

Luke had a pterodactyl kite!

We had kite wars in the sky too! The kids had so much fun!

Sasha and Heidi hung around under the big umbrella and they were fine as long as the kites weren't hitting them!

Later on, we went down by the river. Luke and Shera got in for a little bit, despite the cold. It was a cool wind, but we would warm up from the sun when it subsided.

Shera was really cold after getting into the river and cuddled up with Drew.

That evening, we had a barbecue and then lit off some fireworks the guys got at the Indian Reservation!

We all love shooting cans with the BB gun!

The next day, while we were getting ready to go, Jeff found a leopard gecko in the sprinkler box and Drew caught it. So now we have a new pet! Yipeeee!!!!!

Here we are getting a rocky start to the kite flying, but then they really took off!

I can't believe that Drew is already home for the summer, the year went by so fast!

I think I remember Trabuco Hills doing a DUI accident assembly when I went there. What a touchy subject but hopefully they're saving lives!

I made your pistachio ambrosia... so yummy! Thanks!
