Our present life

We are currently living in Manteca, California away from the cold winters of Chicago. We moved to California almost 4 years ago and started this blog in an attempt to keep in touch with our family and friends in Chicago or elsewhere. We miss everyone from the midwest but we love those who have become part of our life in California. Kevin is a teacher at Ripon Christian High. He also coaches girls volleyball and soccer and stays busy playing the sports he loves as well. Janey is a nurse 2 days a week and a mom the rest. She works at DMC on the pediatrics floor. Mason (5) and Talen (2) are growing daily and loving life! Enjoy our blog and follow us if you like!

Fort Bragg/Mendocino

We decided to do a short trip this week up to Mendocino/Fort Bragg to see the ocean and explore something new.  We had a great time playing in the ocean, hiking in a state park by the beach, and exploring some tide pools.  We got to Fort Bragg Monday around lunch time and had a picnic on the beach.  Then we let the boys play on the beach for awhile. The weather was sunny and beautiful and they had the best time running from the waves. Still a little too cold to swim, though. Then while Talen and I had a rest time at the hotel, Mason and Kevin got to play some golf.  The next day we had some more fun at the beach exploring tide pools and hiking along some beautiful oceanside trails.  We discovered lots of bannana slugs, and a few seals on the rocks.  It was cooler and more windy that day, but the waves were pretty awesome because of it.  Hope you all enjoyed your spring break as well!!

Looks like a fun little trip! I love how Mason takes Talen under his arm when they are in a picture together! Such a protective older brother! :)
