This might just be how The Beatles broke up. Charlotte is pretty insistent that fellow band members follow her beat. No free-form allowed!

Charlotte was trying to give Rachel pointers, but only caught the last half.

CCBR

Last Saturday was the Central California Band Review, a long-standing tradition in Merced.  My dad and I have been taking the girls for the past few years, as they love all things marching band.  Normally, we like to bounce back and forth between the percussion and parade competition areas.  This year, however, the girls grew weary of the walking (probably because there's a lot less carrying going on these days).  Next year, we just might try and get an early seat and take our folding chairs.  I didn't get as many photos this year, due to the fact that I was doing a lot of 'holding up' to watch the parade. 

Oh, and I had a bit of a nerd alert--Ron Moore, Chowchilla alum and Battlestar Galactica creator, was there filming a documentary.  I couldn't resist snapping a picture (or 10).

Yosemite

The girls got to go on a field trip to Yosemite with their Grammy and PaPa today.  A good time was had by all! 

Would you believe me if I told you...

...we've been spending all this time picking out the perfect pumpkin?


I promise we'll be back in full blog mode soon. Stay tuned...
