Thur-Fri

 Yesterday the Abramson's rented a cabana at DryTown (a cute little water park nearby) and invited all the YW to join them for the day.  We decided to go and it was a lot of fun.  Audrey and I were ride partners and we went on slides and the lazy river.  It was fun and funny to see all these moms racing on the racing slides and playing without any kids around.  All our kids are teens and of course they quickly abandoned us :) I think there were about 15 of us there together, we had never been and I am happy to report that it's a nice park.  Small but clean and not crowded.

This morning we woke up and Rob wanted to hike Vasquez rocks.  We couldn't convince the kids to come so we had a morning date.  We drove the jeep out, hiked around for an hour or so, and then came back.  It was very nice out and the rocks were beautiful and fun to climb on.  

When we got home we had outside chores to do.  Then Grace and I went shopping.  She has been doing chores to save up for a baby mouse and we picked him up too.  His name is Stuart. 

Now it's late afternoon and everyone is doing there own thing.  Grace is face timing with Brynn and playing with her animals.  Ethan is on line gaming with friends . Rob is carving and I am starting a new book that I've been looking forward to reading called "the soul of an octopus" by Sy Montgomery.
