I love 3 day weekends :)
My school district took today off to recognize President Lincolns' birth.
Thank you president Lincoln for being born and all the glorious things you did with your life, like establish the 14th amendment and put an end to slavery.
The last day of a 3 day weekend is ALWAYS the best, in my opinion.
I appreciate monday in a whole new way when I dont have to work and
can do whatever my desire with whoever I please.
Today was very eventful and oh so fun.
It started with a sunrise hike to Bishops Peak at 5:45 am.
Even though we do this hike fairly often, this time was different.
It was so incredibly cold I almost decided to turn around and drive home a few minutes
after we started the hike.... yup I was being a wuss. BIG time!
After making it to the top 10 minutes before the sun rose I was tremendously
thankful I didn't turn back at the beginning. It was so worth the brain freeze and throbbing
knees from the chilly air. I had to keep reminding myself that some people in the country
just made it through Neemo, where feet of snow were dumped over night! I really dont
have room to complain in California, on the central coast of all places, about poor weather.
I finished the girls' Valentines for my Preschoolers. They will LOVE their flower hair clips
I painted my nails red with hot pink and violet sparkles ;)
I baked dozens of coconut-chocolate chip cookies! heaven help my hips.
Got to work on Bentleys Valentine
We went to the Monarch Butterfly Grove in Pismo and saw the tail end of the Butterflies migrating through.
Just in case you didn't know Monarchs travel here from
Nov. - Feb. by the THOUSANDS and clump together in the
eucalyptus trees. They look like halloween pinecones, its truly
magical to see so many at once.
We found a new beach spot we absolutely love, beween Avila and Shell beach. Well actually I found it. While the boys were being boys hopping fences and running off I went around the 'boring' way ;) and stumbled on a path leading to a beach entrance. It seems somewhat secret since it is a rope that hangs over a cliff to repel down on to this sandy, and slightly rocky spot. It's awesome.
Bentley cooked a wonderful chicken Alfredo pasta for dinner and he dyed the noodles bright green haha.
I have a bucket list for things I want to do in San Luis Obispo this year and we checked two of them off this weekend!
1. Solvang
2. Monarch Butterfly Grove
I have lived here almost 4 years now and there are STILL
things I have not done or seen.
So I am going to enjoy them all this year :)
Hope your Monday was delightful,
have an even better week!
