russian river and the petaluma county fair

the weekend before last, we rented a house up in the russian river with 2 other families (penny/jason/malcolm/wyatt and nasha/jason/roshan) for the weekend. we had perfect weather and had a really great time reading books together before bed, hiking, canoeing, chilling on the beach of the river, making pizzas, and ended up at the petaluma county fair on the way back (very fun but VERY hot!!!). 2 mishaps during the weekend. first was a surprise "dip"/slip in the pool by dottie in her pj's that ended with chuck diving in to rescue her with his clothes on right away. thank goodness there were 3 dads around keeping a very close eye on our kiddies! she was for sure shaken up by it at first but then couldn't stop telling everyone later that she "went in the pool with her pj's on and daddy had to rescue her". the second was a little situation that ended up with our car getting stuck in a ditch. thank goodness for the same dads that figured out how the heck to get the car out. nasha, penny, and i thought we might end up calling the local fire dept. to help up out...
