Discovery Kingdom

We spent the week before last in Oroville with Clark's sisters Liz and Laura and their kids! Nine kids age 6 and under running around the house! Papa made wooden boats for the kids that they all decorated and raced in the pool. The kids also loved jumping from the stairs while I took a picture and seeing themsleves jumping in mid-air! I also celebrated my 26th birthday! It was great!



Cora and Brian drove out from Utah on Wednesday and spent the weekend with us! It was so great! We were pretty packed in our 2 Bed 2 Bath apartment- but it was very fun! The kids played at different parks in our area and we met up with Cora's friend that she hadn't seen for 10 years! On friday we all went to Discovery Kingdom- which is a Six Flags plus Marine World Africa USA. As soon as we walked in there was an elephant out for people to touch! So cool! We saw their killer whale "Shooka" show, a dolpin show, and a tiger show! And Cora and I even met Batman! (too bad it wasn't really Christian Bale though... oh well!) All of us went on a white water canyon raft ride that was my favorite! It was great! We got SOAKED! Ebay was even tall enough to ride. The kids went from ride to ride and a handful of cotton candy in between... Needless to say the were exhausted and out of sorts by the end of the day! It was great!


Saturday morning my cousin Mark Mailhot and his wife, Rachel came to visit! I haven't seen Mark in over 6 years, so it was great! We had a nice relaxing day at the park with the kids and later went to the pool at our apartment complex. What a fun weekend!i
