Baking Cookie's in our new Aprons!

We finally had the chance to get in the kitchen and bake some cookie's. The girls were so excited. We got this recipe from Uncle John for "Great grandma's Dishpan Cookie's" He brought them on our Big Silver camp trip and they were yummy! Cousin Laurie blessed us with three beautiful aprons. The girls are reversible and they just love them.

Savannah's "First Day of Kindergarten"

Family Camping at "Big Silver"

When I was a kid, this is where we used to camp all the time. The rocks have caves in them. Debbie and Doug were here on this trip as well as my mom. It brought back alot of memories to share with our kids... They had a blast. Big Silver has been turned into a group camp, so we had it all to ourselves. We had about 26 of us for 4 days. It was such a hit that I've already booked it for a week next year...

Across the road from camp is the trail head to get to Bassi Falls. Turned out to be quite the hike and there was no water coming off the falls. Well it is August and there is a drought..Duh! Next year we are going in June ! Should be water then. Kids sure slept good that night!

July 4th 2008 "Manchester Beach"

For the 4th of July this year we went with our friends Vince, Marlene, Maddie and Leena to another one of our favorite places . Manchester Beach KOA! Manchester is on the northern coast of California about 20 miles south of Ft. Bragg. The weather was perfect, and there was alot of activities for the kids. Adults just relaxed and enjoyed the time off work!!

The Kids had a grand time in the swimming pool. There was Karaoke, a parade, best decoration contest, playground and of coarse the beach.

A fun time had by all!!
