After breakfast this morning we tossed our suits on, threw the dogs in the back of the van and headed back to Hinkley Reservation. The dogs had a blast and the kids played in the sand. After that it was home for lunch then off to the airport to pick Anna up. We were waiting for her with a can of Krazy String. It was pink and she got covered.

Elizabeth said the funniest thing
April 26th, 2009 by jwargo
After dinner last night, we played in the back yard for a couple of hours. I finally dug out my clubs and we chipped balls for a while. They both got out their clubs and played along. Eventually they decided they were going to collect all of my shag balls and charge me to use them. It was funny. I started trying to hit them with balls (they were plastic) and everybody laughed.
I had to give them a bath and afterwards Elizabeth was standing naked looking in the mirror getting ready to comb her hair. She put her hands on her hips and said “I hate my hair!” I had to laugh, at 5 – how could she have an opinion about her hair?
Long day at the Hinkley Reservation

We had an amazing day yesterday. We had breakfast and I had to scurry to accommodate a late scheduled showing of the house. Turns out they though the back yard was too small. Oh well.
After they left, we went on a bike ride then came home and had lunch. After lunch we decided to head out to Hinkley to climb on some cliffs. The kids were AMAZING climbing around. We spend more than an hour climbing around and doing some pretty scary stuff. I sent Anna photos of them and she got really nervous. Everyone had a great time and nobody got hurt. We’re going back there next weekend with Anna.
After the ledges (Whipps Ledges) we headed over to a lake nearby. There were hundreds of people out and a whole bunch of dogs. The kids took off their shoes and waded in and played with the dogs. Elizabeth and August even got to touch a snake that was slithering through the lake. We vowed to take the dogs back some day (more on that later).
At the end of the day, everyone had a great time and the kids were great listeners. They slept like babies!
