I'm in an odd sort of mood - must be the non-stop rain! This plays how I feel...

Fox Theater

I love downtown Riverside! This weekend, the newly refurbished Fox Theater was open to visitors!

I've been looking foward to this event for months!

I'm always so happy when old buildings, such as this, are saved and put to good use again.

The interior of the building is really beautiful - We were impressed and sure hope that someday something

or someone worth seeing will play there!

San Juan Capistrano Mission

Our First Field-Trip of the New Year!

On Monday, I took Ellie, Justin, and Rylie to the San Juan Capistrano Mission! All Fourth-Graders in California have to do a "mission project". We decided to actually visit the nearest mission (about 52 mi. south of us, towards San Diego) so Justin could take pictures for his report.

It was a fun trip, even though Rob and Cali couldn't go. At the last minute we noticed one of the tires on the van had some strange damage, so we had to take Rob's car that doesn't fit us all! I actually drove the kids myself. That is a big deal for me! I still get nervous about driving California's freeways!

The mission is beautiful and AMAZING! These ruins are from the original cathedral built in the late 1700's, and destroyed a short time later by an earthquake that occurred during Mass, killing 40 people.

The kids enjoying the Gold Rush exhibit!

Silly little man!

Justin was messing around, "stretching" , on the couch. We didn't realize how odd he looked until we saw the picture! What a crazy, fun kid!
