Happy Day involved a trip to Temecula- we ate at...a restaurant with chachkies on the wall and a mostly hamburger meal, and a very delicious onion ring tower. The kids loved the "cheesey mac and cheesey"...I remember the name of the food, but not the resaturant, hmmm...
Anyway, Bowden was pleased with his ability to put the wrong end of the spoon in his mouth, and let me take a picture. Lucy was a ham, like always.
We ate some delicious foods as well. I am having a hard time eating vegetarian, mostly because of Lisa's green enchiladas. I tried to only do fish, but that's faking it anyway.
Oh, well.

A preview of this years Halloween outfit- on sale at Old Navy, and already mall-tested and stranger ahhed and oohed.

The Eagle is...landing. Here it comes, watch out below!!!

I came down one morning to find Josh and Lucy engaged in some daughter-daddy play. I watched too long, remembered my camera, and missed it the first time. Happily, both Josh and Lucy were up for more fun time, so while this is a little more staged than it should have been, Lucy's joy is totally authentic.

The all-church picnic here in Idyllwild is a summers-end staple up on the hill. Five different Christian churches get together and have a group baptism and picnic, and it just happens to happen at Camp Maranatha, pretty much in my front yard.
Lucy decided that she belonged in this low, purple, folding chair, and did not care that Mr. Hoetger did not seem to enjoy her there at all. We called to her, but the only thing that really made her want to leave her chair was some watermelon and doritos.
Bowden sat down for maybe two minutes all together, but that is a generous estimate.

Bowden in the valley.

Lucy down in the valley.
