Our First Earthquake

Yes we felt our first earthquake. I guess it was our Welcome party from the state of California! It was a 5.3 and the epi-center was Chino Hills. Which is the city we live in. Crazy i know. The kids thought it was cool that they were in their first earthquake.

CANADA

We had a blast this year in Canada the kids are old enough that we can send them down to the park by themselves, with a buddy of course. 
We went, horse back riding, climbed bears hump, hiked to Blackesten falls, played at the park, threw rocks in the lake, rode the boat up the lake, rafted down the St. Marys river which was pretty daring. We had in a raft 
2 pregnant women(Jaime and I), 
3 2 year olds, yes three i think the guide thought we were nuts! (Lily, Meg, Layla) 
Emma (8) 
Rex (6) 
Crew (6) 
Gracie (4) 
My brother Jake and 
sister-in-law terra,
Meg thought it was great till over the first set of rapids a wall of water went completely over her head then she was not so sure. The best was when Layla got ejected out of the raft and thrown upside down in the row behind her! I know it was a bit brave to take my two year old white water rafting but this has always been one of my favorite activities i just couldn't not go.
