Erin did her Mission report on La Purisima in the 4th grade, when all California school children learn about California history. We enjoyed our memories from that previous visit!
I couldn't resist taking pictures of some of the flowers in their gardens. Here are some Matilija poppies. You may remember Chuckbert sharing a photo of his Matilija poppies recently.
Here are some California poppies, hanging on for dear life in the late spring sun. They were being visited by some bumblebees.
Here are some swallows flying in and out of their nests. I had tried to make a movie of them to post, but the movie didn't work out, so this is a still from a small bit of video I did manage.
And some family photos:
Goofing off in the parking lot.... I was holding a dollar bill that had a really cool serial number. In fact, its coolness index is 96.6%.
Kevin shaved his head last week!
We had lunch together after the visit to the mission, and then we all headed to our respective homes. It was a nice afternoon!
