Oh it is SO NICE to do NOTHING! (seriously, my fridge is empty and we are running out of clothes) We have been gone pretty much ALL of June. I'm done with packing, driving, re-packing, nights in a tent or a hotel or on an air mattress. I'm now soaking up some rays, reading some books, and staying home. My kids are being entertained by the sprinklers, the backyard, their bikes, and the neighborhood kids.
It can't last forever. Summer is almost halfway done. My kids will start getting restless. And we will eventually go through our food storage. But for now, I'm sure enjoying it.
And now that we are home, I sure enjoying looking through these photos. We did have a good month.

| Yosemite valley |
It is absolutely gorgeous there! The falls are so full of fresh mountain water. You get soaked just standing at the bottom! Riding our bikes through the valley and seeing all the falls and the deer and all the beautiful colors was by far my favorite part of the trip.
Third stop: San Francisco
 |
| alcatraz |
 |
| fell into the water |
 |
| slept away while at the beach |
 |
| still not happy about falling in the water |
Our kids LOVED Alcatraz! I was quite surprised, but the audio tour was fun to listen to. It held the attention of a 6 year old. Not for 3 year olds: Addi got a little bored and fell asleep.
Fourth stop: Redwoods
 |
| our private beach |
 |
| only private cause it was so COLD! |
