Summer Trip in California

We arrived in California and had cold weather. The temperatures are regularly about 95 degrees and it never got above 75 degrees the entire time we were in California. Emily lives in Palmdale, CA, which is about an hour north of Los Angeles. We had a fun time playing with the kids. Jonah worked hard helping Mike build a shed. Mike got a sunburn, but I won't put that picture in here.

We went to the LA Dodgers vs San Diego Padres game while we were there. The Dodgers won 6-3. It was a good game.

Go Dodgers!

Melody is a happy baby!

We went to the beach and had a nice time. The weather was kind of cold and the water was freezing, but that didn't stop the boys.






We went and spent a few days in Disneyland and California Adventure Park and had a great time!

Barrack Obama came to Egypt and had a very successful and well-received speech. He also had a special meeting for embassy family members at the Pyramids. Bekah was about three feet away and Todd and I were about 15 feet away. He was very personable and down to earth. What a cool experience.
One of my students is an amazing artist and I wanted to share this cute picture my class gave me on the last day of school.
