We are back from our camping trip to Yosemite. We had a blast this weekend. We camped with 7 other families, all together there was about 44 of us - and half of that was kids! We camped at Yosemite Pines resort. There was so much to do there - they had a petting zoo, pool, playground, volleyball court, horseshoe pit, gold panning, hiking trails and a gold miners cave! The kids also passed the time with water balloons and they performed a talent show for us on our last night. Matt wowed everyone with his breakdancing skills and won the show. So much fun - it was the perfect vacation and much needed too after our super stressful week of having pumbling and car problems.

We went on a hike and stumbled across this gold miners cave. The kids got to go in with their flash lights. They had a blast, it was so cold and spooky, they actually went in 3 times.

The kids found this creek that they loved just below grumpy's bridge near our campsite. They spent a good amount of time here hunting for lizards, insects and butterflies.

Have you heard about this site? I first found out about it on Pubcalls and then I took a look at their products and had to have them. http://www.lazarstudiowerx.com/paperWERX/paperwerx_paper.html
Their digital products are really cool too! I recently started hybrid scrapping and now find it hard to live without digital products. Check it out http://www.lazarstudiowerx.com/digiwerx.html

Neglect

I must admit I have been neglecting my blog. What is the point of having one - if you never post? Anyways, we have just been so busy that I haven't had time to keep up. We are in the midst of remodeling our downstairs. We took out all the carpet and are installing porcelain tile. Since, we are doing it ourselves it is taking a VERY long time, and I am trying to be patient - but it has been a challenge with all the dust and not having our furniture. It's a disaster right now but I will post pictures when it is all done.
