Mammoth in the summer
Arrived Thursday night, went to grocery, Gandolfo's, brought home pizza and salad. Ate up cause we were soooo hungry and then went to bed.
Next morning we got up at 6am. We threw on our clothes and brushed out teeth and hair and ran out the door so we could get to the station before 7am. We heard of a secret, if you get to the station by 7am you can drive your car down into the canyon to see all the amazing sites, instead of taking the bus down. We made it about 2 minutes before 7am and were able to pay the $10 and just take out car down. We have seen Devil's Postpile but we had never been to Rainbow Falls. Such a cool crisp morning and so peaceful, quiet. We were out there by ourselves, hiking. Now, my Sierra is such a girl, complaining on the way back to the car about being hungry and dirty. Ashton is quite the opposite, kicking up the dirt, looking for cool sticks, asking what tree do you think is the tiniest, never complaining, loves to hike.
Grammy was with us on our trip and actually played with us this time, usually when we go to Mammoth together, she is working the whole time, fixing this and that and talking to different people, she usually doesn't go on adventures with us, we LOVED having her.
Sierra called these the "love trees".
There was a huge fire there and all these trees are new growth, we loved seeing all the baby trees.
We got lost on the way back, we went on the wrong path when there was a fork in the trail. We made it all the way to Devil's Postpile. We saw a young girl out there for a run and asked if she knew her way around well, and she did. She told us to go that way and follow the road back. We finally made it back to our car!
The stream out in front of the condo, the kids loved to play in it.
On Saturday we tried to find hot springs and found nothing. I was disappointed. :( We hiked to the Inyo Craters, a fun hike and mom had never seen them. It rained on us while we were hiking, that was fun. We had a lightning and thunder storm. We went in the spa and watched Rango. We had such a fun weekend in Mammoth.
(view from the condo) It rained on Sunday too as we drove home. :) Highlight...Rainbow Falls, AMAZING!

boys
I was surrounded by boys all day long...I had Blake and Jordan and then my mom came with Nixon and Rossi...What a fun day full of playing baseball, basketball, soccer, riding bikes, swimming, napping, eating frozen yogurt pops...
Lots of changes since I last had Blake and Jordan...Blake potty trained and swimming really good to me even with his face in the water. Jordan crawling and eating every thing in sight. :)
I love munching on my sweet nephews...he did not get that booboo at my house
Then my sweet girl came home...she was at Math Camp and then got to go to Karlie's to finish their ty dy t-shirts, wow they turned out so so cute! They made up a day, BFF day and they put BFF day on their shirts with rhinestones (a day once a week when they get to get together and do something fun and crafty) We've been able to have BFF day 3 times this summer.
She was so wonderful when she got home. She was so happy and so helpful. She was reading a book to Rossi, cleaning up the disaster we had going on with toys everywhere, playing games with the boys, wanting to help me with dinner. I told her that she made my day the moment she walked in the door! :)

Summer Lovin'
Sierra has had Math Camp all week. Not thrilled but at least her BFF is there and I'm thrilled because she is learning great tips and practicing Math skills to ready her for 4th grade.
Ashton, sometimes even boys need to sparkle!
I had to take my ring in to get the prong fixed and Ashton wanted to buy a sparkly ring SO BAD! I told him I had a ring at home he could have...pure excitement! :) (He had to pick out a couple of necklaces too!)
Everyday this week while Sierra is at Math Camp I have taken Ashton out to practice his cycling skills. He knows how to ride his bike but he is nervous and doesn't have confidence. He is gaining confidence as we practice everyday, he is riding long distances, even going down little hills and mom and dad could not be more proud of him! At first he was only comfortable riding on the grass or the dirt but now I have him riding on the sidewalk, still afraid of the street but we are getting there.
Today we finally got to see Ashton's best buddy, CJ, from preschool. We had them over to swim and play...
and Sierra got to meet and hang with CJ's big sister, Chelsea. Sierra had other friends that happened to be at the pool too from Swim Team but she was careful to include Chelsea, sweet girl makin' mommy proud! :)
Did I mention WE LOVE SUMMER!
