Just a few...

I've been holden out on! :)When Riley was at Scout Camp, (the ONE week this summer that it has been HOT) Jake, Fern, Leili, and I decided we needed an adventure! So we went to the (formally) Quail Botanical Garden (now just San Diego Botanical Garden), since we had heard they had fun children's gardens now. I had been there as a kid when I needed science projects having to do with native plants and such. Well WOW, not the same old place! We had tons of fun! Here is Leili climbing up the rope to the tree house!
Jake in the tree house!

And thankfully WATER to play in and float boats down, it was really hot!

Leili is quite a daddy's girl, she makes a beeline to Dan's tools whenever she gets in the garage! She has even fallen asleep holding screwdrivers!! :) Here she is helping Dan sand the box for my wonder oven!

Dan got talked into making a swing for the kids and while he was hanging it he put up the baby swing too, Leili is happy and so is every other kid in the neighborhood. The swing is very popular! :)

So Accuweather says that we will have a cool start to the week, so I am thinking it might snow because really could it be cooler in AUGUST in southern California? Crazy! We thought we would be having a fun summer at the beach, we went to the beach more in the spring, summer has been too cool! Crazy! But September is usually BLAZING here and everyone should have vacated the beaches for school so we will just enjoy it then!! :)

Dan is still without a full time job, don't worry you'll hear about a job as I am shouting from the rooftops! At the end of this month it will be 11 months, there are many prayers being offered often all day around here. We know there are amazing blessings coming we just have to get there (while keeping our sanity). Your prayers are all received gratefully, thank you for all your kind words and thoughts too!

Hope your Sabbath was good!
