Good morning…it’s a lovely day….the sun is shining, the birds are singing and all the foliage is in full spring bloom.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Bright pink, fuchsia, lavender, red and every color of green you can imagine.\u00c2\u00a0 We have\u00c2\u00a0clear blue skies for the afternoon party. Yea!!<\/p>\n
The\u00c2\u00a0hotel has breakfast included and the boys are loving it!\u00c2\u00a0 Waffles, Fruit Loops, juice, biscuits and gravy and an assortment of danishes and bagels…..much more enticing than what I offer at home.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s good to be on “Vacation”.<\/p>\n
We had a lot of fun with Grandpa yesterday.\u00c2\u00a0 He treated us to the Train Museum in Old Town and we all enjoyed seeing all of the old trains.\u00c2\u00a0 The older private cabins were amazing, and the fact that the meals were cooked and served by\u00c2\u00a0one chef and three waiters is almost inconceivable in the day of prepared food and microwaves. The dishes\/ china were gorgeous…different designs for different routes…one of my favorites was the “Rocky Mountain” design…complete with a slight shadow\u00c2\u00a0of a mountain goat!<\/p>\n
We\u00c2\u00a0had lunch and then headed over to my other mom’s houseboat to fish.\u00c2\u00a0 The lines \u00c2\u00a0went in and the boys held the poles for about 5 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 They were distracted by my sister and her fun hubby….the kids tried “Sneak attacks” on said sister and brother-in-law with water weapons and bean bags.\u00c2\u00a0 They\u00c2\u00a0boys were wearing life vests at all times\u00c2\u00a0because the Sacramento river is running really high and very fast.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0We didn’t catch any fish, but we had good conversation and the kids got worn out.\u00c2\u00a0 The youngest fell asleep on the way to Grandma’s and slept for over three hours.\u00c2\u00a0 Thank you Auntie S and Uncle M!!!<\/p>\n
We spent some time with Grandma and the oldest helped set tables for today’s party while hubby andI went to\u00c2\u00a0pick up a purse that was left behind at party #1.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
We got back to the hotel..threw some dinner in the oven, took the boys for a night swim and then all headed to bed.<\/p>\n
We are looking forward to today’s event.\u00c2\u00a0 There will be over 75 people and the kids are related to 3\/4 of them…lots and lots of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cousins.\u00c2\u00a0 The Native American relatives are of\u00c2\u00a0special interest to our oldest since that is currently\u00c2\u00a0the unit of study\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0in 3rd grade.<\/p>\n
We are off for a morning swim and perhaps to see one of my husbands childhood friends that lives close by.<\/p>\n
God Bless<\/p>\n
