We should have a bit of cool down in the next couple of days..but knowing California it will give us at least one more good scorching before Summer comes to an end..and even then...the heat could continue. I hope it doesn't. <br />Beautiful family photo's. :) The baby is just so adorable..and TINY!<br />Goodness!

That guy is so darned handsome!! It sounds like a perfectly wonderful celebration. It is so fun when you can get so many of the family together. <br /><br />That boat ride sounds really neat too. The boat looks like so much fun and it holds so many people. <br /><br />The thing I liked the best is how you posted the pictures and wrote the whole story along with the pics. My daughter Sue does that on her blog a lot of times, as you well know. I want so much to learn how to do that and Dick has promised me that he will show me how to do it tomorrow afternoon. <br />Hopefully I will be able to do it.<br />It looks so complicated.<br /><br />I loved that you posted a picture of your mom. I can certainly see the family resemblance with you, your sister and your mom. How I would love to meet that woman.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-70439787495772838892011-09-05T22:49:39.941-04:002011-09-05T22:49:39.941-04:00You had some really quality family time there!
