Fund Run

If Aaron raised $200 he got to go on a limousine ride to Red Robin with his principle. That was definite motivation for him to call everyone for pledges and run as many laps as he could!

We came along to cheer him on and run too!

He ran 22 laps and only took a couple of very short walking breaks. He made almost enough money for the limo ride but we were so proud of him for trying his best that we gave him the rest. We also encouraged him to go out for cross country!

Parade of ???

Every year Charlotte's school has a parade at the beginning of the year to kind of kick off their theme for the year. Last year is was the Parade of Colleges, but this year I'm not so sure... The parade of monsters??

Well, whatever it was called, we went, we took pictures, and it was cute!

Forestiere Underground Gardens

Aaron is lucky enough to go on a field trip every month at his new school. It was the main reason he wanted to go there in the first place!

The first field trip this year was to the underground gardens

I had never been so I was excited to go with them!

The whole idea behind the underground gardens started because Baldassare Forestiere decided to dig a room underground to escape the Fresno summer heat! Before he died he had dug under 80 acres of his land and was planning to turn it into a resort.

Nick turns 33!

Nick was not working on his birthday this year. It was only a month ago, but I can't remember what we did! Luckily I took some pictures to remind me of some of the details!

We woke up early to make breakfast for him. Aaron and Charlotte wrapped presents.....

 

While Elsie and Lila helped out in the kitchen. I do remember that we made eggs benedict with fruit salad, and that it was yummy!!

Then while the kids were at school, we must have done some other stuff... or maybe he went shooting?

Then after school Aaron and Nick went to scouts while the girls and I made a carrott cake.

That weekend we had some friends over for an adults only dinner, which was fun also.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!
