Today was Clark's first day of vacation and we took the kids to the Monterey Aquarium with Grandpa and Grandma. When we arrived we had a nice lunch at the Portola Cafe and then we spent the next few hours walking around the aquarium. The weather was just perfect and no crowds! We all had a great time.
Our photoshow subscription ends tomorrow (well, the free subscription ends) so I'm trying out some new programs. I like this Hallmark one, but you can't add any writing when you post the slide shows so our entries may come in two sections like this one. To play, just click on the arrow. It takes a bit to load and it loops so just close the window to end show. Enjoy.

Daddy's Run
Today Daddy ran the Run Like the Wind 1/2 marathon in San Ramon.
The kids and I met him about 1/2 way in front of our complex and he was looking pretty good!
"Go Daddy Go!"
But this is what he looked like when he got home!
Here's his bloody shoe. He said his blister popped at about mile 9.5. (He bought these new inserts and they didn't work)
But he finished. 2 hours 1 minute and some change.
Bailey cried for about 1/2 an hour after Clark got home and showed us his bloody foot. Every time she looked at him tears filled her eyes and she'd run to me. So now he has to put on a smiley face and not play with his feet anymore. :)

The Raffle and our fun afternoon at Grandpa and Grandma's
Today we went to Stockton to attend the annual spaghetti feed at Grandpa and Grandma's church. We don't go for the food, we go because they have a RAFFLE! I love raffles. Aren't they just the "funnest" things ever? You buy a bunch of tickets and dump them into the box in front of the prize(s) you'd like to win. Fun, fun, fun!
Backing up a bit, we had to get to Stockton by 11:30a so Daddy could watch golf. Aunty Kristin, Uncle Bob, Ollie and Emma also came to visit, but they missed out on the raffle fun cuz they had birthday plans for Aunty tonight. Well, when they arrived Ollie and Emma wanted to go SWIMMING?! It was a warm day, but I didn't plan for swimming so the kids joined them in their clothes. Water was freezing so swim day didn't last long, but they all had fun and took a warm bath afterwards.

Nubbins
Look what happened last night! Our ENTIRE CROP of lettuce got eaten up. Right down to the nubbins! So blue....and they were doing so well too. The red lettuce was just starting to form some nice leaves. Now we have nothing.
