July 4th weekend was super!!!
The kids all had a blast and by Sunday morning I was beat! On Friday Danny and I took all the kids to the Marin County Fair! My parents couldn't go since that was the morning they left for Europe, but it hella fun! We started out the day watchin the PIG races! It was so much fun. The fair has a hug barn area and the animals and the rides are for sure the highlight! The rides are all FREE with admission so the kids went on a ton of them!! I went on a couple as well.
The highlight for me was when we all went on the HUGE ferris wheel! All 7 of us could fit in one bucket and it was awesome!! The views were amazing and everyone had a blast! Me, Sydney, and Danielle were a little scared.
Then on Saturday we were all invited to a BBQ at Danny's work friends house in Brentwood. To say the house was BEAUTIFUL does not begin to describe it and the family was super friendly and warm and we all had a great time. We swam, played outside, and ate awesome BBQ. We left Brentwood at 7:30, drove back to Martinez, changed clothes in record time, and made it just in time to catch the fireworks at the Martinez Waterfront. Maya, Sydney, and Jonah had never seen fireworks before and they were just in AWE! The next day Sydney made me a picture that said 'Thanks for the fireworks'...it was sooo adorable!
We were all pretty beat when we finally got home at about 11:00 at nite, but it was well worth it!
A couple of weeks ago Danny and I spend three awesome, awesome days in Costanoa. Costanoa is in between Pescadero and Santa Cruz. It's a beautiful piece of land with a lodge, tent cabins, tent camping, and motorhome camping. We stayed in a tent cabin and hiked, drove to Pescadero to eat at Duarte's Tavern, went to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, and spent time just relaxing at Costanoa. I haven't been camping in soo many years. Next time we are going to take the kids! Karen and Josh told me about Costanoa many years ago and I've been wanting to go ever since!!
