Well we have been busy busy busy here in Sunny California!! Since my last blog I have had my best friend from High School come out for a visit and my Sister. Now the boys are here! I had not seen Danielle since a year after graduation and it was sooo much fun catching up and reconnecting! We went wine tasting in Murphy's and had a blast hanging out in the pool!
When Courtney was here we did some wine tasting in Livermore and Murphy's and spent a day in San Francisco!
Now that the boys are here we are doing more outdoor activities. We took them to San Francisco one day and we spend most of the time in the pool! Last Saturday we went River Rafting down the Stanislaus River. It was supposed to only take 4 hours and be very leisurely. Boy were we misinformed! The first 3 hours were a lot of fun. We had a few minor rapids and nice dappled sun through the trees. The air temp was 102 but we couldn't feel it as we were in snow melt water. A good 45 degrees cooler than the outside air! We laughed and splashed each other and had a great time.
The last 3 hours of the trip were a complete 180 of the first 3 hours! The water temp dropped, the river picked up speed, there was sooooo much deadfall, the rapids were no longer fun, but getting increasingly faster and frequent. At one point the rapids separated us from the boys and Steve and I were all alone! The sun went down on us and we were freezing. Juniors boat was sinking because he had a leak. My boat had popped on some trees that I got stuck in. (Luckily we had duct tape to fix it. Jr's tape was not holding) Steve drank all his beer and was getting cranky, I was so OVER this trip that I could not wait for it to end!!
It did finally end and we were all safe and sound. Wet, tired and cold, but safe and sound.
Steve and the boys loved it!! I liked half of it......
For the Forth of July we are going to some friends house for a BBQ and on Monday we are going to Santa Cruz for the Beach and Boardwalk rides!!
I'll let you know how it all goes!!
