Update from the West Coast

Hi-everyone- we have been having fun out here.

Superbowl Sunday I got up early and ran in the Xterra 15k trail run. Not exactly sunny San Diego weather. It poured and was in the low 50's but it was great. Slip sliding in the mud. The boys were jealous. I am trying to train for a half marathon...we will see.

Next up- camping. Keith and I went to Anza Borrego Desert with the Boy Scouts. He had to finish his wilderness survival badge and sleep under his self made shelter. He is the blob under the sweaty rain poncho. I can't believe it is okay to do this to your kid??? It was cold and windy. Not in my tent, but for the boys.





We hiked through the mud caves or "washes" that are created from the rain run-off. They are dark and dusty but fun with 19 boys!

The drive home back over the mountains was fun. There was a ton of snow from the wild storm we had on Valentines day.

It is hard to believe that Cliff is getting so much bigger. Soon he will not fit on my lap.

We have fun with him as you can see.

Fun at the beach below and on the left the begining of a long hike to Iron Mountain- the hill on the right.

Deep sleep after playing hard at the beach.
