The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust


The week before school let out for the summer, I got to go with JT's kindergarten class to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. It was a wonderful free day as each parent volunteer was given 4 children in their group and we were at liberty to explore the exhibits and the grounds at our own leisure! We had  a great time!

"Sun is Shining, Weather is Sweet" -Bob Marley



It was River trip time for us again. Annually we take our boat out with our Imbach ohana to Laughlin. We’ve camped before but this trip was one where we take the boat out all day and come back to shower and sleep in the hotel at night. 
We left for our trip on Memorial Day, going the opposite way of all the coming home traffic (NICE!!) JT took the days off of school and we took the days off (sort of) from Rock Steady. Breeze came with us and The Imbachs had two of their boys, Dev and Bird and another boy from their ward, Kyle. 
We found a great little beach up by the dam and set up camp. Lots of yummy food, tons of gatorade (thank you electrolytes), wake boards, knee boards, skis, and tubes… there was NO shortage of cool stuff to keep us entertained!
JT and HeaBaby love being on the boat and in the water. It was her third year going, funny as how she’s only two… yes, we had her out there when she was 4 months old the first year. My little aquarius/daredevil. They both love to “drive” and Mr. B lets them when there aren’t other boats around. 
The inevitable wind kicked up but didn’t knock us out. We still enjoyed tooling around on our Maxum that we’ve named “The Holo-Holo”. It must run on air, or water, we’ve decided because we only filled up once and towed it home with the tank half full!
It was the perfect kick off to our summer trips, we’re looking forward to coming out to Lake Mohave again. Can’t wait to try out a few other lakes too!

argh

Frustrated at how behind I am with keeping up our blog. JT keeps asking if I put "this" or put "that" on our "Internet Family Journal".
Next week, we are in Tucson. I have no baseball, room parent, team parent, gymnastics, jiujitsu, anything. I plan to get some posts up. Before I forget lol...
