How to survive Science Camp week...

Each year Kevin heads up to the coastal mountains for science camp with his 6th graders. It's a great week of fun and Independence for the students. Kevin always enjoys it as well, but it can be a long week for him to be away from us. It is usually a pretty long week for me at home too. This year's solution for that was to head to Pebble Beach with my mom. It was so great to get out of our house for a few days and so great to have help with the kids. We pretty much just moved our chaos to a new location, but it was refreshing to be by the coast as always. We had beautiful weather. I took the older two to the aquarium one morning, Ethan went golfing with Nana one afternoon, we ALL went to the beach one morning (1/2 hour of packing and loading for 1 hour at the beach, worth it? still not sure), and we ALL went to have dinner and watch the bagpiper. That actually went surprisingly well. Thanks for a great week mom!

Ethan was really into the aquarium this time. It is so fun to watch him gain more interest in what is there and what he can learn. You'll notice he had to wear his shark shirt for the occasion. Ethan was really into reading about the displays and having his picture taken by animals...Morgan not so much:)




Ethan all ready for golf.

Nana and Morgan:)

Hudson and Brooklyn were there as well, we just didn't get any pictures of them. They loved having a new place to look around at and loved taking walks.

Sounds like you had a great time down there and, of all people to want a picture by an animal...Ethan? It is good to see he is not to scarred of them anymore. I remember last time we were at the house and I honked the motorcycle horn. That did not go over so well. Great to see the pics

I love that second picture of Morgan. She's workin' up an attitude for that one.
