So, there's lots of outdoors stuff to do around Fresno. Yesterday, we decided to try out Millerton Lake which is really close. It was really fun! You could drive your car right up to the lake and just get out and get in the water or picnic, or whatever. The kids had a great time...Jake nailed Carter in the head with rock almost immediately. Malia was not at all amused by the mud as you walked in the lake. We have these double camping chairs that have a pocket thing under the arm rest. She found her way into the pocket and settled there...it was very funny, you couldn't even see anything except for her little head poking out. She definitely takes after me. I'm investing in a pair of water shoes because the lake was nice, I just don't like mush under my feet...
Anyway, in other news, we have pets! Rick caught some tadpoles last week and the boys are totally fascinated by them. We have 23! We also went to a discovery museum last week where everything is a "hands on" exhibit. They had a pond with nets so you could catch tadpoles and then put them in a holding tank. The boys absolutely loved it. Actually, so did Bella. The tadpoles were the size of my hand, so they were HUGE! Once you catch them, you're allowed to hold them which they all did. We spent 2 hours at that exhibit. Malia like to hold them too. Only, she would pick one up (Imagine Lenny here from Of Mice and Men)by the neck and then either throw it in the water or the ground...needless to say, she was not allowed to "hold" them for very long. Anyway, I hope you guys will come to freno to visit sometime...there's lots of stuff to do!

Not that this is much of a consolation but I wanted to thank you (and Kraly) for lending us your chillins. They were so fun and we loved to have a little more noise around our house. All the kids played so well together and we just had a blast hearing all of their little personalities and sarcasm intermingle. Priceless. :)
We would love to come visit. Count us in, next summer or t.b.a. We can make it an annual trade-off.
Wow those tadpoles sound crazy! Did you take any pictures? Next time we come up we should take the kids there. Did you get to keep any of those ones? And did you take any pictures at the lake? And hey, ten points for Jake! Oh yeah, and uh, post some pictures!!!!!!!!!! :)
