Getting Ready for School

With the switch to a new school district, the calendar for the year is different. So this Monday will be our first day with students. It's amaziing how fast I feel like this year is going to go. All of you teachers out there know that the years keep going more quickly. Well, with the schedule in Walnut, we find that the school year starts earlier and ends earlier (hooray!). So while June 4th will be an awesome last day of school, August 25th has approached all to rapidly.
What does it say that I'm already thinking about Spring Break?

Summer Time!

So after all those posts about how much we were looking forward to summer, I've been having too much fun to post!
After summer school was over we went to Yuba City and hung out with the family. It was lots of fun and Grandma sure knows how to cook! But after 82 years we thought she should take a break, so Jose and I made enchilada's one night. I don't even think she likes them, she just likes not cooking!

We got back and went camping last week. Originally we were headed to Yosemite, but a small fire changed our plans (and, some of us were less than thrilled that there were no showers because the snow pack was light this year). So we found a spot in Lake Arrowhead called Dogwood. It was excellent! Clean showers, I packed the toilet seat covers, what more can a girl ask for? We Went hiking, swiming, and Fishing. Here's a picture of everyone after the hike (Mario took the picture, so just imagine him smiling).


Now, tomorrow brings our first meeting of the new school year... Can you believe it?!


I'm already thinking about Christmas break! Summer don't go!
