Redwoods & Ocean

Justin took off work on Monday and we had the most amazing day. The Magers headed up to Armstrong Woods, just north of Guerneville and walked among the redwoods. After we finished walking on the Pioneer Trail, we headed west to Goat Rock Beach. The weather was fantastic for snacking and playing, warm with no wind (it can be really cool and windy along the coast). Our final activity was swimming in the community pool. We finished off the day with tasty bbq'd pizza for dinner. Life is good!

Eat your cruciferous veggies

A conversation over breakfast Saturday morning.

E: "Alanna, please eat 3 strawberries and then you can have more pancakes."
A (whining): "But Mommy, you know strawberries are not my favorite."
E: "What's your favorite sweetie?"
A: "Broccoli is my favorite."
E: "Would you like some broccoli instead of strawberries?"
A: "Yes"
E: "What's the magic word?"
A: "Please"
E:"That's fine, I will make you some broccoli. Alanna, here are 3 pieces of broccoli."
A (very excited): "Yum, my favorite!"
J: "Is she my child?"
