Baking bread

I've recently discovered how easy it is to make bread and how easy it is to fit it into our weekly routine.  Did you know that I can make 5-6 loaves of bread for $2.00! And to top that it's healthy and I know what I am putting into our bodies.  I got this recipe from The Marathon Mom.  I freeze whatever bread we aren't eating in the next two days in our deep freeze.  Just so you know, we eat a loaf a day.  It's that good!  Enjoy!!

It's a little too big for my bowl. :)

Aquarium day...

With our aquarium passes expiring at the end of the month, we decided to focus on sea life during our school studies.  Here are some of the beautiful views we saw today.

Camping, I mean tenting...

We decided it was about time to take the family camping.  I mean it has been almost 4 years since we received our tent.  Oops!  We wanted to ease back into camping, so we headed up to Travis AFB to the base camp site.  We thought we would be camping near the base but it turned more into a tenting experience.  Remember when I said that it's often cool, foggy and gray where we live?  Well at the camp site it was well into the 100's and not a shade tree around our site!  We ended up doing some site seeing, enjoying the base thrift store, walking around the BX and Commissary, watching Winnie the Pooh at the base theater and even some garage sales.  We enjoyed the camp life of smores and sleeping on the floor. :)

The local housing had a water tree to play in.

We took great advantage of this!

Mathieu and the children enjoyed cooling off, Samuel on the other hand did not.

We went to the plane museum on base.

Compare the  size of "Fat Man" bomb to the family.

They even got to sit in some!

Tenting is tough!

There were Jack rabbits all over the camp site.
He's the little brown spot in the middle of the picture.

Our campsite, I forgot to get a pic before we took it down.

We went out to Red Robin, we used
 to go there a lot when we lived in MD.

The family enjoying a Red Robin treat!

drive home to keep the sun out of his eyes.
