I can't believe I forgot to post this earlier...Big J earned his gold belt last Friday night! We are super proud of all of his hard work! We were blessed to have some good friends, including our sitter and her fiancé, come out to support him! We ended the evening with dinner at the new Chick-fil-a down the street!
We are trying our best to soak in as much of California in as we can. One thing I love about where we live is being so close to the lake! We were able to go for a couple of hours yesterday with some friends! The boys dug and built in the sand and also made a lazy river that wound it's way down the rocks, under a tunnel, and into the lake. :)
The boys were able to meet and hold a very cool crested gecko today! I was blessed to be able to spend time with a friend...and the boys had a blast holding this guy, jumping on the trampoline, and chasing after a rabbit. Good times!
M-man made a fruit salad for his math lesson on Friday. It was fun AND tasty! What a great way to learn fractions and practice measuring food.. :)
Big J tested for his red tip on Friday, which means he will be eligible for a belt promotion next Friday night! Way to go, big guy!
We were able to hit the trail again this past week. We are in such a fantastic area, only a 30 minute drive from some great hiking trails.
We hiked the Stagecoach trail, along with some smaller trails this time. It is very close to where we were when we hiked the Lake Clementine Trail. We could see the Foresthill Bridge during a good part of our hike. The weather was perfect, cool and slightly overcast.
The boys had a great time, as did the moms!
