Our bowling passes are being well-used!
Beach afternoon date with Kailey & the kids. Amelia soaked in baby Fischer snuggles & played with the kids.
Austin & Colleen dug as hard and fast as they could for an hour.
A local private school put on a performance of the Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe. After watching the performance with friends, we stopped for a photo in front of the theatre.
The performance was on the campus of Westmont College. We learned that they have a wardrobe that was purchased from the estate of CS Lewis and is believed to have been the inspiration for the wardrobe described in the book. This Westmont employee took us to the wardrobe (in the lobby of the Liberal Arts department) and read to us the various descriptions and showed the kids the components of the wardrobe that match. We were all pretty awestruck.
On Friday, we determined that it was time to return our froglets to nature. We met up with friends at the pond where we originally obtained the tadpoles, but the water was no longer there. So we spent the morning traipsing around Ellwood Preserve. The kids climbed trees, hiked around, and also just sat and played in the dust of the hiking trails.
After returning home for lunch, we drove to Lake Los Carneros where Austin and Colleen made it their mission to find an access point to the lake so the froglets could be released safely. There was a grand sigh of relief by all of us when they were finally released.
Patrick was able to return home for the weekend. He had fun bowling with the kids and had this crazy start where they all bowled strikes for their first frame.
They keep improving!
We spent Sunday afternoon with Dad at the beach where Austin dug such a deep hole that the lifeguard came by and asked him to not dig any deeper.
