Santa Rosa

After spending time in San Fransisco we drove north to Santa Rosa for a few days.  My brother lives there and got married this past weekend.  My mom rented a nice house in the hills of Sonoma Valley. There was a nice lake behind the house where the kids spent most of the time swimming.

San Fransisco

We spent the past weekend in San Fransisco.  Our big touristy thing was to bike across the Golden Gate Bridge.  We started out riding on the national park bike path through the Presidio and then over the bridge.  It was crowded on the bridge!  After that we biked down into Sausalito and then took a ferry back to the Pier and rode through the rest of San Fransisco.

We spent lots of time swimming and enjoying the hotel pool and hot tub also!

Indiana

We spent the weekend in Indiana.  It's a little over a 4 hour drive for us, so it wasn't too bad.

We went to the new Indiana LDS Temple Open house on Saturday afternoon.  It was a beautiful experience being in the temple as a family.  It was fun being with Liv in the brides room and talking to her about coming here someday when she is a bride.  I also really liked being in the sealing room with my family.  Sharing with the kids that Shawn and I got married in a room similar and someday they can share in this experience also.

We spent time eating, especially lots of ice cream, and swimming.

Swimming

The weather this week has been amazing.  We've enjoyed lots of swimming at the pool.

Wednesday night Cole hosted a fun scout party at the pool and Thursday night we attended a family swim party for Liv's Gymnastics.

The boys also started golf lessons this week.  I wasn't sure what they would think, but they actually really liked it.  Cole asked if he could go buy a special "golf outfit".
