Santa Rosa Plateau


 We went to the Santa Rosa Plateau one weekend for a family outing.
Graham had an earache, so the bandana was his wind protection.

 
The kids love to climb all over the huge oak trees.
 





Truman's 6th Birthday

For Truman's birthday dinner, he requested watermelon (his favorite food), salad, chips and s'mores.



Truman received a photo book with pictures from birth to kindergarten. He loves to look at it still, ten months later.
