Hello, all. Back at the beginning of May we spent a really lovely afternoon at the beach with our friends the Vazquezes. Another mom and daughter, friends of the Vazquezes, came as well. It was so nice for V & J to have their friends Olivia and William, and a new friend, Ella, to play with! They ran in the water, dug in the sand, played with a giant kelp that had washed ashore, hung out in the beach tent... At first they wouldn't touch the kelp, but after a while, the girls were jumping rope with it! See pictures from 5/9/09.
Last Thursday, John and I went with our Horizon Hills class on a cool field trip. The class chartered a boat ("The Dreamer") to take us on a short cruise around Ventura Harbor, then out into the ocean to a buoy where sea lions hang out! We were only out in the ocean for a few minutes, but you can really tell the difference between the harbor and the open sea. I didn't feel sick at all, but I'm quite glad it was a calm day. On the way back to the dock we all sang "Slippery Fish"...hence the hand motions. :) The lady in the pink coat near the end of the pics is Ms. Georgette, our teacher. Also check out the yacht called the "Erin Marie"! I just had to take a picture of it for my sister! Whose name, of course, is Erin Marie. See pictures from 5/28/09.
