Nooooooooooooooo!

Say it isn't so, is summer really over?  I was just getting in the groove with the no schedules, days at the pool, sandy beaches and all...nooooooo!  We have really enjoyed this summer, and I have to say I was a little worried at first with this being my first summer not working I wasn't sure how we were going to fill the days to keep the kids from wanting to constantly watch tv and play on the computer, we did LOTS of stuff and have had a blast!  We are just sad it is over so quick.  Here is what we have been up to.

Palm Springs, our family loves to go, we relax and the kids love to swim and get rides from the bell hop!
Delanie's first time in the pool...hated it!
Finding turtles in the park
Love the beach
Fourth of July! Every year we go to Salt Creek beach for the day with all my mom's family, then go get calzones in Dana Point and finish with blowing off fireworks in my parents backyard. Good times!
This was Ashleigh's friend Dre's first time with sparklers, oh the excitment.
Blueberry picking
Pool days with friends
Trip the Channel Island's with the Peterson's and Bishop's
Birthdays! Happy Birthday Matt
The kids wanted to play games, so Tyler came up with "pin the tail on daddy." Tyler even made a tail and had it ready when Matt came home from work...he's a good sport.
Vacation in Tahoe
Crawfish catching 
After a hot hike, look at Tyler's tough face.
The first two days were lazy warm days at the lake, tubing, kayaking and jet skiing.
The last couple of days were cold and rainy, even in some areas snowy...what?!?
Hey those statues look familiar
A museum in Squaw Valley where the 1960 Olympic's where held, here's Ashleigh with her gold medal victory! 
In Virginia City, an old mining town
Taking a train ride...
where we got robbed at gunpoint...(for charity)
and saw real prisoners, (we thought it was a part of the train robbing show...nope) It was funny.
Smashing coin's on the tracks
All in all, our summer has been fun and relaxing...
and now we are pooped!  Hope your summer was a blast too!
