Happy Birthday to Lisa and Robert....we are thinking of you both and wish you a great day and great year!

Lots of love from Becky, Noelle, Sara and Tom.....

It seems that the summer months are flying by TOOOOOOOOOOOO fast - it is already near the end of July and Rob and Elizabeth are once again celebrating a shared birthday....I especially remember the day Rob was born the night after I had given Liz a birthday party in the back yard! Great timing as I was tired and need a day of bed rest....I told her that the baby boy was her present...but she still wanted a baby girl sister....oh well! Anyway - enjoy your special day with your families!

Rob wants us to all go swimming with him and Paloma in the American River?? He actually had a few days off!

Liz has been busy with Kaitlynn and Case making one trip to Colorado to visit CSU Colorado and register - and in mid August, Kaitlynn moves into the dorm...remember those days!!

Next week, we are going to Grover Hot Springs for the week - no TV, no phone, just reading, soaking and sleeping - sounds so good!

I really do not have much to say here. I just wanted to show everyone what Lake Tahoe looked like while I was there this past week. These photos were taken around 5 or 6 o'clock on Wednesday. As you can see in the last photo, ash and soot fell from the sky covering cars. Even bugs were falling from the sky! - I figured it was because the air was to heavy for them to fly in. (It kinda makes sense, right?)
Other than that, the Lake was perfect temperature and friendly.

Just FYi!
I will be in Southern California on the 19th-23rd. I will be on the Price is Right game show!!! At this point I am not guaranteed an actual ticket/seating until I am in line early in the morning the day of the shooting. So wish me luck and hope that I can be a game show contestant/winner!

While we were so busy with San Pedro Festa and N & M's party, young Connor was quietly taking photos with his instantmatic pocket camera - got some great shots...our house was full for over a week what with first Rebecca and girls (see them in front of house pic), then Christopher arrived in his Giant van and 3 teenagers. Rebecca vacated just in time for Nathan and Micaela to move in - BIG thank you to all who travel home for the celebrations and an even bigger Thank You to the grandchildren (little ones and teenagers) who helped by keeping busy but out of the way -
Love you all, Grandmama and Grandpop Freitas

We had planned to go camping in the hills near Big Sur 7/3 -7/4 on our way up to Sacramento for the party, but due to the wildfires we had to find another dog friendly camp spot. Tony recommended Mono Creek in the Sierra National Forest. It was a long drive, and well worth it!

Here are some pictures from Buddy's first camping trip! There are more on my flickr page also.

The party was fantastic! It was so nice to see so many loved ones and everything was really lovely!
