June 2011 Rock City

Rock City is a nice little spot in the Mt. Diablo state park. The rocks are easily accessible, large and fun to climb. There are many niches and holes made by nature to crawl in and climb around.

Connor finished his pre-school year with a carnival. The kids helped out in the booths and Connor sold lemonade. I had another race, a long course triathlon in San Jose. The kids and Susan were the motivation! They came to cheer me on along with my dad. For fathers day Dad and I took Marisa and Connor to a helicopter show. We got to go through all kinds of helicopters and my Dad had a great time talking to all the pilots. Another weekend we went to a U-pickem farm where we picket 20+ pounds of strawberries, cherries, peaches, apricots and blackberries. There is nothing like fresh fruit. The strawberries were amazing!

Susan and a friend run a 10K. Susan ran the 10K less than 12 hours from getting back from the cruise. The kids got lost in long grass waiting for mommy at the half way point. The last part of May found Marisa's softball team completing their first season. Finally, on one afternoon with particularly good weather Connor and some of the neighborhood kids set up a lemonade stand. One of the first customers was a police officer who happened to be coming off duty. He passed out deputy stickers for each kid.

Marisa's 7th Birthday

Marisa's 7th birthday was magical! At least that was the theme. We made magic wands, guessed jelly bean flavors and had a magic show complete with Marisa and I pulling a rabbit out of a hat!
