Camping on the west coast has never been as much fun as it was with Jon, Jessica, Eli and Joshua Flowers. We spent the weekend camping near the Russian River. We visited the ocean, played in the River and Eli and Josh enjoyed their first smores. Kona enjoyed every moment from watching people walk by our campground, to running on the beach, and swimming in the River. Kona finally swam on his own (after some promptiing from Scott) and he couldn't get enough. We all had a great time watching Eli and Josh (2 years) play in the dirt and eat smores with their grubby little fingers. They made us laugh as they giggled while watching Scott and Jon throw the frisbee. And they were both quite cuddly after little sleep on the second night. With great weather, beautiful surroundings, and wonderful company it was the perfect camping weekend.

Scott and I had a great three-day weekend. We spent most of Saturday at the Air Show at Travis Air Force Base. We had a blast watching the old WWII planes, Aereobatics planes, and the Thunderbirds show their stuff. We also toured a C5-A, and got to see many other planes and jets up close.
We were also able to spend time with our friends and their dog at Tildburn park in Berkeley. Kona and his best friend Bentley played in the water and mud and had a great time shaking off all over us as we ate our lunches. We said goodbye to A as he leaves tomorrow for a 6 month deployment in Iraq.
