It has been a busy month; I can’t believe it is already over! This month we got to go into San Francisco to see the Giants play the Braves. We were about the only Braves fans around us so we had to be careful how loud we cheered. ;) We went on the best night though since that is the only game of the series that the Braves won. We stayed the night in the city and got up early Friday to go see some of the sights. We didn’t have a lot of time and we will be going back soon enough so we just drove along the wharf and went to the Golden Gate Bridge. We got out there and walked along the bridge for a little while and took some pictures and looked around the gift shop, then headed home. It was a great short get-way for us and Cooper had a blast! I also took a cake decorating class this past month at the local craft store. It was so fun to learn some new tricks and nice to have a couple hours to myself to do what I love!
For Memorial Day we rented an RV with some good friends from college who live north of us. We went up to Lake Siskiyou near the base of Mt. Shasta. It was sooo pretty up there! We were afraid it would be pretty cold but the weather as perfect and sunny. Saturday morning we each took turns running or biking without the kids, which is a treat. J Turlock is pretty flat, so it was a nice opportunity to get to run on some good hills. I also went for a dip in the lake. Pretty sure everyone around us, including Lynn, thought I was crazy. The lake is all snow run-off so it was pretty cold, but I wanted to get a chance to swim in open water for my triathlon coming up in a couple weeks. It was actually pretty warm. Lynn had four days off in a row, which doesn’t happen very often. We headed home on Sunday afternoon so he could relax all day Monday before he had to head back to work the following Tuesday. It was such a fun weekend, we are definitely going to have to try and do it again next year. Renting the RV wasn’t as cheap as we had hoped it would be and the cabins are actually cheaper if you can make a reservation in time, but the RV was more comfortable than camping in a tent for sure.
Cooper also saw our new doctor here! He was 18.6lbs and 28in long. So, short and light for his age but doing great! He stands up on everything, has 7 teeth now, and is getting soooo close to walking. I’m sure he will be walking around by his 1st birthday. He loves mac n’ cheese and peas! And pretty much anything sweet. He will eat anything we are eating. He also loves to read! He will sit in his toy corner in the living room each day for about a half hour and just flip through books babbling to himself. It is the cutest thing to watch!
