The day after Grandpa left we loaded up the car ( and I do mean loaded, it was packed!) and headed to Sacremento, California. We were meeting Aaron's 3 sisters and their families for a camping trip. We went to this great site on the American River called Coloma Resorts. We stayed in bunk houses that had A/C (thank goodness since it was around 95 degrees each day) and they had full bathrooms. We had to cook all our meals outside on camp stoves, but each family took a night so we just had to cook one big meal. I was worried about keeping my kids entertained for 5 days while camping, but they didn't get bored once. There was 10 cousins to play with, a swimming pool, playground, big open spaces to run in and of course the river. We tubed down the river everyday. There was a short run without too many rapids that the kids did. Then we traded off guys and girls going on a long 1 hour 45 minute float down. I never tipped, but Aaron got dumped a couple of times in the rapids. We also got to pan for gold, and even found some! All in all, a great vacation. We are planning on going again for a family vacation and I definatly recommend the spot.

That all sounds so fun. I love the pictures at the zoo--we have some of those same ones. :) The camping in CA sounds awesome (full bathroom, etc.) and even the cooking sounds not too hard. (I'm clearly not a camper.) I think it's so cool you got to pan for gold!!!!! And even cooler that you found some!!! WOW! What fun!
Sounds like the perfect place! It looks so fun. I definitely need details on the place.
So a boy puppy huh? Good luck with all the training...should be easier then the ADD girl dog you were looking at. He looks so dang cute! I can't wait to visit. :)
You have to tell me when you are going to the zoo so I can meet up with you sometime.
