Honestly, where does the time go? We are having way too much fun in sunny California! Yesterday, after VBS, we went to a pool party through the MOMS Club I belong to. They had a great kiddie swimming area as well as a large pool. Brad sits in a floaty thing and is quite content while Sky wears inflatable swimmy things on her arms to keep afloat.
Then in the evening we had a family night at the aquarium. The Aquarium is celebrating 10 years and they are doing it up BIG. There was free face painting, cake, live music, crafts, etc. We didn't get home until 10pm and both kids fell asleep in the car on the ride home.
Today was an adventure too. While Sky was in VBS, I went with my friend, Mary (who is from Singapore and will be returning there next month) to an Asian supermarket/Chinatown area. We spent a long time there and she suggested many things for me to buy, telling me what they are and how to use them. It was a great experience. So far my favorite purchase was lychees, a type of fruit. We also had shaved ice at a local restaurant and that was really delicious. We were a bit late picking up our kids from VBS-oops.
Then I had my friend Amy and her 2 kids over for lunch and play. Her daughter is 6 months older than Sky and her son is 8 months older than Brad. They recently moved pretty close to us and their new home has a beautiful in ground pool. So, she invited us over for later and we took her up on it. We just got back from a relaxing swim in the pool at their house. Ken came too as we left right after he returned from work. Another cool thing about their house is the fruit trees. They have all sorts of stuff growing in their yard and the peaches are ripe right now. We picked a HUGE bag and brought them home. Now I'm looking for a peach cobbler recipe (or any other yummy peach recipes). We will have an endless supply for a while.
Our grapes should be ripe in about a month and I hope to make grape jelly. We also planted strawberries and have eaten 3 of them and they were quite good. Maybe it will produce more next season.

Peach cobbler is my favorite thing to make! I use the recipe in the better homes and gardens cookbook and it's great. We miss you guys! Love, E and M
Hi Lori,
Summer fun, indeed! We are glad for you!... You will have fun trying peach recipes... Summer fun continues for us, too. Last night we had 18 here for the Bible study, the most we've ever had!! (We all fit comfortably in the sunroom!)...This evening we're going to a picnic & we are making salad--Romaine lettce, sliced strawberries, Bermuda onion rings & poppy seed dressing, (from bottle). Never made it before.
Have a great weekend! Mom & Bill
