TAHOE WITH THE GOUVEIA'S

Another relaxing weekend at the Gouveia's. Turned out to be beautiful beach weather on Saturday and fair-to-stormy on Sunday. The kids loved watching the hail come down and the thunder storms.

Just Chillin'

Hard to tell, but that's Drew and Dad in the canoe.

Again, not the best shot, but Kath and Eli take a spin in the canoe.

Labor Day Weekend 2010

SACRAMENTO

"The Moving Wall"

Tribute to Vietnam Veterans

On Saturday, we ventured to Sacramento, our State Capitol, because Michael wanted to visit the "moving wall" featured at one of the Vet cemetaries. We have both been to D.C. and seen the actual monument, but this was an awesome reminder of all those who lost their lives in Vietnam. Above I've tried to take a picture of the entire wall, but you can't see the section to the left or even all the way over to the right. Many, many names...

The Honor Garden is a tribute to all armed forces.

And, the Eternal Flame burns in the center of the columns.

GILROY GARDENS

First ride of the day for Liam, Drew and Jamie, Drew's BFF.

Drew and his BFF are being goofy!

Liam's new BFF, Sponge Bob Squarepants.

Well, if he's not allowed to watch it on TV he's sure going to win the stuffed animal!

"Mom, lose the fake smile, PLEASE."

And, fun was had by all. Zzzzzzz
