Cambria, Sweet Cambria

Despite all of the negative issues Californians are dealing with--the state budget, the housing market crisis, increasing taxes--there is no denying our gorgeous beaches and the sweet, convenient access we have to them. A short drive gives me and my children a long day's break from the Bakersfield heat to enjoy a taste of paradise.

Something about Cambria has made it a favorite . . .

Baseball/Softball

This was Sally Jayden's first season playing softball, and she did great! We had so much fun--awesome coach, awesome season, awesome learning experience. Here are some pictures of her looking cute:

Seth loves this game. He has been playing since he was four years old. He especially loves shortstop, but this season he got put at catcher most of the time. We could say a lot more about how and why this happened; however, we will say only that we're glad this season is over and look forward to a much better experience next year. Nonetheless, without complaining, Seth donned the catcher's gear every game and made the best of it. And I have to say, he became a fabulous catcher in these short weeks.

We hope you've been enjoying a fun and restful summer as well.
