january????

We live in Modesto California.  It's a lot of things, but 69 degrees in January is not one of them.  This year however, it is gloriously warm and beautiful.  I am not a terribly optimistic person--when is it going to be normal and cold and gray and foggy?

In the meantime, I'm enjoying it immensely.  My sister and her kids were here this weekend.  We had a great time bowling...notice the scores....

Then it was up to Columbia.  We couldn't have asked for a nicer day!  I haven't been up there to look around in years---The kids LOVED climbing on the rocks...

riding the stagecoach...

and we all loved shopping for candy....
