End of Summer Sacramento Trip

We were able to spend our last week before school up in Sacramento with cousins.  James had a conference to attend so it was mostly a work trip for him, but he did have the weekend to play.
We went to the airport in Auburn for a fun breakfast while watching airplanes take off and land.  

Preston chose this fun Mickey Mouse pancake which he loved and ate every bite.  Except he called it a quesadilla and ended up dipping it in ketchup after he ate the whipped cream.
The kids wanted to repeat the candy project they did last year.  
They were very creative with their candy chosen from Winco bulk bins.
We enjoyed going to see the Leonardo DeVinci exhibit on display at the air and space museum. It was very well done with a lot of hands one learning.
And while there we also took time to explore the aircraft outside.
I don't think my kids have ever been rollerskating.  Ethan and Preston were frustrated with how tough it was to figure out, but Brielle figured it out pretty quickly and decided she is now ready to work at Sonic.
I got to celebrate my birthday.  Summer time birthdays are the best.  We are almost always traveling for my birthday and I get to have so much fun!
As a family we went hiking to Clementine Falls on the American River.
It was a hot hike and we were all excited to jump off the rocks and play in the water to cool off.
