Fishing For Pine-Cones

We might possibly have the BEST trail that goes everywhere and has a little creek.

The boys brought their nets in hopes of catching tadpoles which it is too early for. Scott's next plan was the ducks which also had little success.

A little bummed about our unsuccessful fishing day (except for a gross water insect that we HAD to bring home) I had a great mommy moment. I threw a pine cone in the water upstream and the boys caught them as they traveled downstream. It was a lot of fun. The day ended in total fishing success knowing the total number of pine cones that they caught. My mom brain might not be able to do math but it sure can figure out how to add happiness and success to my kids lives.

Would Amy Chua agree with throwing in pine-cones so my kids succeed :*)) What a bizarre article. Anyway, I love being me and wouldn't change it!

One of the things I love most about you...Always finding a solution to make your little boys happy. That is a cute idea and looks like they had so much fun.

Danny's Birthday

We went to Monterey again for Danny's birthday and lucked out with amazing weather.  Blake was pretty difficult last time we went so Gle...
