Summer fun

We have been enjoying summer. We had a trip up to Ptown. Gavin loved swimming with cousin Coleson. I went into the Cisco office for a couple days. Then we made our way up to Pine Mountain Lake for the 4th of July.

We brought enough food for an army and ate well. The Franklins came up as well on Friday and we got to celebrate Aaron's bday with some delicious homemade cupcakes from Nik. The boys loved going in the lake. With their life vests, they could float and would get into the lake without any help. Steve's brother Dave came up too as well as our friends the Pittengers. They brought the best blueberry pie! Yum.

Each day we swam, ate, swam, tried to relax if Gavin would sit still, then ate again. The weather was nice and we got in a couple of kayaks rides as well. Gavin likes the kayaks this year. The boys also loved the sandbox that Steve built them along the lakeside. Great activity. Steve did his second annual treasure hunt and the boys actually dug up the treasure in the sandbox. Pirates of the Carribean Pez dispensers was the "loot".

We were lazy last weekend and didn't do much. We got in one trip to Montana de Oro...hit up our favorite Mexican joint..Tus Amigos... and checked out the beach. Gavin had fun in the sand dunes.

Gavin has disgressed a little with going to bed by himself. The chart worked well but since we started traveling and we have been in the same room sleeping, he wants us to sleep with him again until he falls asleep. The other night I sat on the sofa right outside his room and he sat in his bed yelling "Mommy, mommy" about a hundred times... then said "Are you listening?" "Mommy, I am getting mad!". Wonder where he got that from? He eventually stopped and wanted to read books...so I caved for education.
