Boston Harbor Marina

30 years ago, Roger went on a field trip with his preschool to Boston Harbor Marina.Last week, Hannah got to go on the same field trip (same preschool, same weekend, same place!)
They even played on the same beach afterward!Roger was pretty sure he hadn't been back there since his field trip, so he was thrilled to go along with Hannah! It was a beautiful day, and the kids loved looking at the starfish, crabs, sea cucumbers, jellyfish, etc. and playing on the beach nearby!

Running

While we were in Indio, Roger twisted his ankle while running beside a golf course. He had been training for the Capital City Marathon, but had to take a couple of weeks off after this injury. It's hard to tell how swollen his whole foot was in this picture.He recovered fairly quickly and was able to run the half marathon this weekend. It was a fun event, since about 15 or so others from our church ran the marathon, half marathon, or 5-miler. Everyone did a great job!I decided that 5 miles is too far for me (for now at least), since I've never run much (except when forced to in volleyball conditioning), but last year I committed to running a 5k this coming June. It's not always easy to fit in training, but I've got two very willing running partners!

Spring Break Celebration

For Spring Break this year, we celebrated Roger's parents' upcoming 50th anniversary.
Travelling with cousins is lots of fun!
We all had a wonderful time at Disneyland for a few days.
Hannah and I even found a birthday cake just for us in Mickey's house!
Then we all headed to Indio. On the way there, the 5 of us stopped in Chino to visit my grandparents. We had a birthday party for Hannah at the nursing home where my grandpa and grandma live. We were thrilled that lots of relatives were able to be there, including my parents, aunt, cousins and their children. The kids had fun doing an egg hunt together!
Then we headed to my Beppa's house for a great visit. Hannah loved playing with her cousin Mya! Hannah's 5th birthday in Indio.
We went for a hike at Joshua Tree National Park, where Hannah got her first Jr. Ranger Badge.
We did plenty of swimming in Indio and had a great time in the nice, warm weather!
The trip was a wonderful way to spend time with family!
