Grand Canyon

The images from our Grand Canyon trip are posted. If you're viewing them on a phone then be sure to scroll down a bit to see the captions under the photos (on my phone the captions are always below the bottom of the screen when the image is firs displayed).

Rain

It's raining so hard here that the rain barrel has sprung a leak. The kids were getting freaked out by the thunder and lightning and then loved it when the power went out at breakfast.

Student of the Month

Just before we left for the Grand Canyon Xander was on of the students of the month from his class for "effort and improvement in reading". More pictures here (and I should have the Grand Canyon pictures posted soon).

Easter

The Easter bunny made his yearly visit and the kids had a great time hunting for eggs and then eating the contents of those eggs. Pictures are available here (note that I'm switching to a new service for posting photos, let me know if you run into any problems).

A Quick Update

Just a quick note that I've posted some new pictures in a variety of galleries over a Flickr: farmers market, zoo, and random stuff.

Xmas Pictures

I finally got me xmas pictures posted over at Flickr. There's quite a few.

Meeting Santa

We headed over to the old Goleta train depot (just a historical landmark now) to ride the "Candy-Cane Train" with the kids. Unfortunately we were too late and the tickets were sold out. There was a Christmas fair going on next door at the historical ranch-house and Santa was there. Both kids sat on his lap, Quinn only freaked out a little bit. I've added some pictures to the Xmas 2011 gallery.
