Pretend City


A fun attraction we visited while in California was Pretend City.
This is were the kids "went to work".
They had an opportunity to try out different vocations.
At the end of the day they got a "paycheck".


They all work so very hard and had a blast!

Here's the crew minus Lacey because she is taking the picture.


Another picture of the crew minus me because I'm taking the picture.

Carly's Pool



When the kids all lived at home and were growing up
we lived at Flagstone Apartments.
One of the best things about living at Flagstone was the swimming pool.
In the summer we would swim in the afternoon,
go home and eat supper,
and then return to the pool.
And all of our friends and neighbors did the same.
This is where the kids learn to swim
and feel comfortable in the water.


The apartment that Carly lives in also has a pool
and she does much the same with her little family.













 
We had a fun time swimming in Carly's pool.

The Beach


We loved the beach!!
the salty wind
the sand between the toes
the waves knocking us to and fro
the squeals when a wave would chase us

















Michael and Carly were so hospitable.
They live about 15 miles from the beach
and they hauled us to the beach every day
so we could get our fill
of playing in the ocean.




Going to the beach will definitely be something we do again!
