Beach Trip

Jeff & Annalise were at Girls Camp while Robyn & I were left home alone.  We had to do something so we went to the beach with some friends....

 

(This was actually our second trip to the beach that week.  What can I say, we like going to the beach with friends!)

Digging for what?

Mermaid

Don't mess with her! 

I call them the Pirates of Sandy Beach

Now that school is out

Even though we aren't planning to go on a huge trip we are managing to squeeze in some fun time.

 

 

Pioneer Trek 2013 -- 3 days of camping and pushing a handcart 14 miles over hills and obstacles. 

I guess that sounds like fun.  It can be fun when you do it with friends.

"Do You Want to Dance"

Maniac

 

While Annalise was out in the wild, Robyn was dancing.  It was time for the annual dance recital.  She certainly loves to dance, much more than Annalise ever did.  Her dad couldn't make it to the recital but he got to see her perform at the rehearsal.  She did such a good job! 

Running

It was a running weekend.  It started off with a school track meet

 

and ended with a race benefitting our local schools. 

 

There's an iris farm just outside of town.  Robyn wanted to go see the flowers.  Annalise stayed home due to yet another soccer injury.

 

We are having a heat wave so we just made it in time to see the blossoms before they die.

 

 

Spring Break

Hike in the hills.  It was a beautiful day so I made the girls go outside.

 

Aquarium of the Bay.  I got free tickets through our library which we ended up making it up with the cost of the parking!

February

February was a special month.  Robyn was baptized.

Family

8th Birthday

Robyn turned 8 in January.  Usually we have a party at our house.  But party planning gives me the hives.  Really, it's not something I enjoy -- in fact I try to avoid if at all necessary.  This year I got my act together and had it at the city's gymnastics place.  I've been wanting to do this for a couple years but by the time Christmas is over and I think about Robyn's birthday all the spots are taken.  Since her birthday fell on a Saturday, she even got to have her party on her actual day.

It is a great place to have a birthday.  They ran around and jumped into the foam pit.  Fun was had by all!
