Family Fun

A few weeks ago we had family over for a long ago planned rafting trip down the Kern River.  This was one of those Group On deals that was a great buy.  So 7 of us loaded up and headed to Bakersfield.

The river is normally much faster and they say a Cat IV but on the day we went, it was more like a -4 which was fine with us.  They split our group of 7 into 2 boats and we headed out for our 3.5 miles of fun.  

In my boat I had my sister-n-law Debbie and her daughter-n-law Lindsay.  We also were with another family.  The guys, Steve, Elijah, David my brother-n-law and Keith my nephew got their own boat.

Some of the pics give the impression the water was a bit livelier than it was, but we had a great time.  May go back earlier in the season to be able to see a little more action, but all in all a great day that was ended with a nice picnic at the nearby Ming Lake.  Something fun to do within 1 1/2 hours of Valenica.

Family

Spent Saturday with Steve's sister and the family out in the desert.  Had the pleasure of also getting to love on my nephew Keith's son.  He is turning into the cutest little man.  Every time I see him it reminds me of when Elijah was his age.  Not just personality but in looks, so crazy.  

Little Weston adores his cousin, very much like when Elijah was his age and he would hang on Keith.  Such an amazing feeling to watch the generations.  Weston was all about Toy Story while we were there and I dug up this picture of Elijah playing with Woody and Buzz.  




Had a great time and can't wait for this weekend when Keith, Lindsay and Weston are coming to stay a few days.
