Gold Rush Monologue

It's a good thing Grandma Juanita doesn't throw anything away. 

Gold!

We were learning about the Gold Rush in school this past week so we took an overnight trip out to Columbia State Park.  I got to (successfully) pan for gold and other gems, took a very entertaining stagecoach ride (ask Daddy Pat), saw Blackerella's cousins, drank Sarsaparilla, watched the blacksmith, and learned more about the Gold Rush history. 

First Trip Back to the Great White (melted) North

I had such a great time reconnecting with my Canadian friends Annie and Sam in Edmonton. 

Action Shot!

I wanted this shot for the computer screen.  Mission accomplished!

Playdate!

I had a playdate with Vivian and Lucy (twins at my school).  We went to the Mani-Pedi place, Mexican lunch, Dolores Park, and Bi-Rite Creamery for dessert.  I had such a fun time with them!
