Last day of summer fun

Jeff and I spent Friday with 5 teenagers riding water slides. Are we crazy or what?  I was able to get tickets from our new school at the discounted price of $10.00 each.   Fantastic price considering daily prices are nearly $30 each.

I wish I had a water proof camera so I could have taken action shots on all the water rides.  Crazy fun and a few really good wipe outs for Jeff and me.

I have the huge, and I mean HUGE bruise on my rump from my best wipe out of the day.  The ride was really fun...the wipe out was not - (my 15 year old son said I looked HILARIOUS as a flew out the shoot of the ride all the way up the steps and on to the sidewalk only hit my rear on the edge of the pool and be dumped upside down onto the stairs IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!!!!!

Nice.

Way to go mom!

I spent the rest of the afternoon recuperating in the wave pool, lazy river and parked on a lawn chair up on the grass watching everyone else.  No problem for me.  I love the sun!

 

Happy end of summer!

City by the Bay

Our summer is in full swing and San Francisco was a great place to kick it off.

We met up with family from out of state, family from in town and family new to town.  We were tourists and did it all.  So fun.

Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Ghiradelli's.

We ate shrimp, crab, ice cream and famous sourdough bread and then walked for hours burning off calories.

Loved it.

Every single minute.

 

I couldn't resist.  Two of my four children are left handed...they LOVED this store!

 

  

Happy beginning of summer.

This Land is Your Land...

Words cannot express the beauty of Humboldt Redwoods State Park - a part of the Redwood National Forest. I hope you enjoy a few of the photos I took this week during a little getaway with my man, Mr. CHiPy.
