I decided to plan an activity packed Saturday. \u00a0After getting the boys up relatively early, I drove us out to the local country town of Penryn for a fundraiser book sale. \u00a0I gave each boy $5 to buy some books. \u00a0‘A’ had his mind set on finding a ‘Sherlock Holmes’. \u00a0Now, this book sale took place in a barn, with tables set up end to end, and books lined up three rows deep. \u00a0That’s the extent of their organization. \u00a0To be that specific in finding a book was near impossible. \u00a0After looking for about 15 minutes and getting discouraged, I helped join him in the hunt and talked him into trying a different mystery that we found.<\/p>\n

Here’s a few pictures of their find:

We then drove to the neighboring town of Loomis to meet my friend Eun, and three of her four kids (one was on a mission trip with their dad in India). \u00a0We enjoyed beverages and the lovely weather at The Flower Farm<\/a>. \u00a0They have a bocce ball court and the boys had fun tossing the balls around.

Eun took her little ones home and I took ‘J’ with us for lunch and more fun…
\nSince we were still on the Daniel Fast, I took the boys to a vegetarian restaurant in Auburn, called PachaMama’s Organic Cafe\u00a0<\/a>. \u00a0The boys were thrilled to discover they had nachos (a raw, vegan version of nachos), so that is what we ordered. \u00a0The ‘nachos’ consist of blue corn chips, carrots, celery, and a ramekin of blended cashews and other ingredients that the boys swear, “tastes EXACTLY like nacho cheese!” \u00a0They devoured the plate and was excited to share their find with Dad. \u00a0(We ended up returning the next day with him for two more plates of ‘nachos’…)
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After lunch, we attended a lecture on fossils, sponsored by the Place County Museums. \u00a0The lecture was a Scholastic<\/a>\u00a0presentation, geared to elementary kids, although many adults without children attended.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They brought some fossil examples. \u00a0This was a fun one. \u00a0It is actually a ‘pseudo-fossil’…a rock that looks like a fossil…

Checking out the Saber-toothed cat. \u00a0(We learned that there is no such thing as a Saber-toothed Tiger)<\/p>\n
