Play Ball!!!






So, I was on drugs or something but since I say no to crack, of any sort, I must have been on something. Anyway, I decided to sign up three kids this season. I thought Maren would look so cute in her uniform and she'd just love it. So, I went ahead, even though I work nights and Ryan's still finishing up his credential (luckily, he's only in school on Wed nights). Today was opening day and we got up early to make it out for the parade. I've done this opening day four times now and know that you should never get there when they say. The parade never starts on time we end up standing around for hours waiting for some unknown reason. We got there, 40 mins late, which was perfect because we walked up and they started walking. I must have been what they were waiting for!!! Anyway, it was hot, it was boring, and it was long. Then we got the schedules for pictures, it was as follows; 9:50, 11:20 and 12:40. Could they have spaced it out any crappier? Atleast we didn't have any games to sit through. I also got the schedules for Taylors games and it looks like she has three a week which is AWESOME ::rolling eyes::. I do love the sport though and I'm glad they get to play this year, last year I was smart. :D Maren's only games are on Saturdays. The real fun is going to start when I get Joshua's schedule on the calendar and I get to see just how crazy my life is going to be. Anyway, I'm posting the pics I took on my front lawn, I'm cheap and figure I can do just as good a job as the people with their fancy camera's. I'll put those up.

Pinnacles


Last weekend my womens hiking group went up to the Pinnacles National Park by Hollister, CA. It was a perfect day to be out hiking. It was also one of two weekends in the Spring when the caves were open to the public. We started out really early and got up there before it was too hot. We decided on the 5.5 mile hike instead of the 10.2 one, mainly because of time, but really because no one wanted to hike that far. It was so green and beautiful, we all enjoyed ourselves and declared it the funnest hike we've done. I wouldn't mind doing that hike every weekend for a month. It started out all uphill for the first half, that's almost three miles up. But, it was at a reasonalbe incline. The best part was at the top, it was super steep with railings to hold onto and steps clawed out of the rock. Then we descended and eventually made it to the caves. We first went the wrong way and after about the third person told us it wasn't a good idea to go backwards, we decided we should find the right entrance. The caves were fun, there were some tight spots where you had to balance on rocks over a stream while holding your backpack in front of you and practically squat. It wasn't too long though and we turned around and did it backwards since the large crowd that was stuck in there previously had gotten out. So, anyway, it was great, we loved it. I can't wait to see what we do on our next trip.
