Del Valle

Last weekend we went to the lake with the W family as well as the V family! We had a great time! The W family has paddle boards and they let us borrow them and ride the waves. It was harder than I thought it was going to be. I didn't fall in at all and Jake fell only once! We all packed picnic lunches and soaked up the sun. We are excited to go back soon!

I felt so much like Pocahontas!

I adore this little guy! M and I are BFFs! Being an aunt is so much fun!

Our Trip to Sacramento

We wanted to go to the temple, but our temple (Oakland Temple) is closed for maintenance so we drove up to Sacramento for the afternoon. Jake also got a gift certificate to Cheesecake factory so we stopped there for dinner as well. We live in a smaller city and so the closest Cheesecake factory to us is about 45 minutes so we thought stopping there after the temple was a fun idea! We enjoyed the drive and we were able to chat about so many things. We are grateful for the beauty of the world that Heavenly Father has made so accessible to us! We are excited for another temple trip soon!

Here is a picture that I took of the Sacramento Temple! There was a wedding there when we went! It added to the fun of it all!

Also, Manteca is so patriotic. Each Holiday (That is somewhat patriotic: Flag Day, President's Day, Fourth of July, etc.) Manteca lines the streets with flags. It was so awesome to see all the main streets lined with flags. It made us so grateful for the land that we live in and the freedoms that we have.
