Borba Family

  It's my favorite season! Not because of pumpkin flavored this and pumpkin flavored that... To be honest, I can totally do without all the pumpkin flavored nonsense. I love Halloween! I have every intenton of dressing up and taking my kids trick or treating on Halloween this year. Yesterday Steve and I took the kids to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. It was so crowded, but we had a blast. The kids went on the carousel, Evan did the zipline, we did the corn maze and got our pumpkins. It was so nice keep a tradition. It was nice to do something normal. The pumpkin farm is all outside so we were able to enjoy a mask free day. I'm sure there are people who will criticize, so if you live in the area and don't feel comfortable with everyone walking around without a mask, skip Bishop's Pumpkin Farm this year.  After Bishop's we came home and BBQd burgers and watched Halloweentown together.  It was a pretty decent week. It's hard to type out, "Hey, it was a great week!...

I miss my kid being able to go to school and hang out with their friends, hug their teacher, and play like kids are supposed to play. So, our school district is giving us parents the choice... We can send our kids to school with limitatio...

       It all started when my sister in law Sara told me she was headed up this way to visit with her daughter Savannah and they were thinking of going rafting. I naturally invited myself and Steve and the kids. So I started looking around for a rafting trip that I would be able to bring Claire. I found the perfect trip for us through Raft California. I booked a trip for the 6 of us. Steve's mom heard we were going and wanted to come along so we added her, then Savannah's roomate Iris wanted to come too so we were now a group of 8.          We met our tour guide at a hotel in Auburn. We piled onto the shuttle bus and headed to the American River. We were rafting the Lower Middle Fork American River. It was a blast!!! There was another group on the shuttle bus with us. A group of 3, two adults and a child... I'm guessing he was around 6 years old. Anyway, the ride down to the river felt forever long, we had to wear our face masks and the air d...
