Sunday Stroll & preventative medicine

I have ants in my pants at the end of our Summer break and have to make every day count.  So with Curt out of town at his colloquium all the way across the country in Florida, I didn't want to sit home Sunday afternoon after church and listen to six kids create chaos somehow.  I saw some cool pics on my friend's blog of their little fieldtrip... so I had to visit this cool little preserve in Fallbrook to take in some nature and breathe some fresh & lovely California summer air so this is called...
preventative medicine.  
It works on so many levels:
 They're actually tired and want to go to bed at a decent hour before 11 pm 
We have a great time hanging out & interacting- it promotes togetherness
We explore-- what kid doesn't love exploring?
Gets rid of the Sunday wiggles
And bonus... no wrestling, fighting, boredom and/or chaos going on at home
So Momma's happy, therefore, everyone's happy.
PERIOD.






Monson's always so concerned about Vivie's safety

Make a wish!




My hands say it all... (they look how I feel lately)



I don't think Izzie can even take a picture without posing like this

How tall is your shadow?


Looking for a pet... lizard or praying mantis... anything for a pet.

What a great thing to do. I wish it was cooler here so we could actually go outside. :) You know the AZ drill. Have fun keeping busy!
