Venice Anyone?

22 May 2012

I have been thinking about a 40th birthday in Venice.
Was it a sign when this painting came home in Oscar’s backpack yesterday?

Good thing we have a long time to think about it!

Camping With Clarendon SC’s 1st Grades

22 May 2012

We had so much fun, and Oscar wants to go back again, asap.
I considered it a “warm up” for real camping, because this was too easy!
This is where we stayed, in Cloverdale:

The kabins have electricity, and are even nicer than the Lair. Oscar ran around, or biked, unsupervised, with his buddies. Well, not completely unsupervised, – all the parents participated in an informal zone defense. The kids played pick up wiffle ball, and who knows what else. Something called Everybody It Tag. It was awesome to hang out with the families.
We got to leave Lucy with Omi & Opi, so we could relax, and drink, and not worry about Lucy kamikazeing into the lake. Thanks Omi! (Lucy did great)

Pretty enough, plus a fountain too.

Oscar and Shayan checking out their new digs

People loved the small effort we made to decorate

The Pool.

Oscar got to swim all day with all his buddies. It was absolutely the. best.

Running around with friends

Oscar is friendly with the girls, and saw no problem accepting their invitation to join them.

Visiting Nana and Jane

12 Dec 2011

And the horses and “cowses” :)
Jane’s horses are the bay, named Marcus, and the grey, Ringo. They’re adorable.
This is Shingle Springs, in the El Dorado foothills. It’s beautiful country! We watched the Niner game, and fed the horses some carrots. We went for a little walk to see the sights. It was great to get out and see the place. I hope to visit again soon.

Ps. the picture below of the grey horse running in the afternoon sun is Nana’s favorite, named Luke. She walks down the road to see him every day. He’s running to come see us and have a carrot!
