Last Stop - Moss Beach

After the Jelly Belly tour and In-N-Out it was time to make our way back down to San Francisco.  We had an early flight to catch the next morning.  Before they dropped us off as our hotel, however, we had one last stop to make.  Candace knew of a great beach outside of San Francisco that had little tide pools to explore in.  Getting there was a story in itself, but once we made it, we were glad we had gone to the trouble. 

This beach is actually a nesting ground for some Harbor Seals.  And wouldn't you know it, they were actually there!

The rocks on the beach were covered with moss and seaweed, so the walking was pretty slippery.  In the tide pools we saw starfish, sea anemones, hermit crabs, and other creatures.  The kids enjoyed digging in the sand, and I just loved walking around listening to the waves (and taking pictures)!  It was a beautiful place!

 The Harbor Seals - it was fun to watch them flop along the beach!  We had to stay 300 ft. away from them, so it was hard to get a good picture.





Exploring the tide pools.  Cambry wasn't sure about all that slippery, wet rock!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
