The next morning my parents came over to open gifts and for breakfast.  Ben got me a Bosch mixer which I am THRILLED about.  I have already used it more times than I can count.

We did our annual turkey trot, turkey bowl and black friday shopping together.  We really love doing our shopping in Moscow ID because it is a small college town so most of the lines are small and no one gets trampled getting in the store and there are usually enough of the deals that everyone gets what they want :-)  With my parents, our van was filled to capacity.  After our shopping we were officially stuffed and had to leave some of our things there to be brought over at Christmas time.

(there were dresses packed on that shelf)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SSH33uD5dmI/AAAAAAAAATs/aHgPmab12ko/s1600-h/IMG_0546.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269765575629436514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SSH33uD5dmI/AAAAAAAAATs/aHgPmab12ko/s320/IMG_0546.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SSH33f4jCpI/AAAAAAAAATk/02VJUzuCE1U/s1600-h/IMG_0547.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269765571823733394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SSH33f4jCpI/AAAAAAAAATk/02VJUzuCE1U/s320/IMG_0547.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; So, the next morning I went to do Natalie's hair for preschool when I saw a bunch of dirt in the part I had just created.  But, when I looked closer and saw one of those dirt spots moving I almost screamed!!  I called my mom (who was working at an elementary school that morning) and cried to her.  She had some lice products in her nurses room there so we jumped in the car.  Then begins the mental agony attached to this awful situation.  What have my kids been doing over the last week, who have they played with and who do I have to call and break the news too?  What do I have to clean and disinfect along with the laborious process of combing out the little bugger - so, yup,those pictures have a little more meaning now.  As soon as I got home I put Ashley down and put the product in Natalie's hair, started a movie and spread halloween candy on the floor to keep everyone occupied and happy.  After three hours of combing, I got Natalie's hair cleaned out.  We went to the store to buy sprays and shampoos, then it was back home to begin the laundry and toy cleaning.  It was a long week - a long quarentine week of cleaning, sanatizing and avoiding.  No fun! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2664066308699956952-4695202723241567068?l=connersconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/4695202723241567068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2664066308699956952&amp;postID=4695202723241567068' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/4695202723241567068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/4695202723241567068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/2008/11/head-lice.html' title='Head Lice :-('/><author><name>Anna BenAnna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SV5vfzFnOJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/QqRrc0ypeIg/S220/IMG_0664.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SSH33uD5dmI/AAAAAAAAATs/aHgPmab12ko/s72-c/IMG_0546.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664066308699956952.post-972097458105140076</id><published>2008-11-03T13:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T14:29:15.398-08:00</updated><title type='text'>More Halloween Fun</title><content type='html'>We attended the annual McComb's Halloween Party.  It is always fun to see what people dress up as.  There were showers, an "operation game" couple, a few Sarah Palins, smurfs, Snow White, hippies, indians, and Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Wendy.  The best part about the Peter Pan duo was Tink - he is a 6' 5" male in his 40s.  His legs lookes pretty amazing in tights and a short green dress!  I wish I had a picture - look at some of mylinks and I'm sure you'll come across it :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94pbokCKI/AAAAAAAAATY/02UMa49qcwY/s1600-h/IMG_0539.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264559142607259810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94pbokCKI/AAAAAAAAATY/02UMa49qcwY/s320/IMG_0539.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Sommer Reynolds, Jenn Evans, Me and Rebecca Pierce&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94o0aCHwI/AAAAAAAAATQ/9cbLli7loOQ/s1600-h/IMG_0538.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264559132077334274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94o0aCHwI/AAAAAAAAATQ/9cbLli7loOQ/s320/IMG_0538.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Marcilicious and me - isn't she hot?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94on49SII/AAAAAAAAATI/c1VAPLhRZYo/s1600-h/IMG_0537.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264559128717379714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94on49SII/AAAAAAAAATI/c1VAPLhRZYo/s320/IMG_0537.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The Temus' and my parents, the tacky tourists - The Temus's were acutally going to come as mummies, but after 30 min. of putting on their costume, watching it fall off to reveal their underware, they decided to change ideas ;-).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94oT2yQHI/AAAAAAAAATA/mQg7sik9NOE/s1600-h/IMG_0536.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264559123339559026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94oT2yQHI/AAAAAAAAATA/mQg7sik9NOE/s320/IMG_0536.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Jill(in back), Jodi, Elizabeth, me, Tari, Laurie and Kathryn on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94ni1FjoI/AAAAAAAAAS4/45ALxb2hF4s/s1600-h/IMG_0533.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264559110179098242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SQ94ni1FjoI/AAAAAAAAAS4/45ALxb2hF4s/s320/IMG_0533.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ben and I went as homecoming King and Queen.

Bronson grabbed his own card and made a little note for Natalie - she was pretty excited as you can see.  Monica (his mom) and I have had a great time sharing what our 4 yr olds have said about the other.  We laugh and then we wonder if there is something we should be worried about :-)  But both kids have matter-of-factly stated that they will marry the other in the temple.

Anyway, we have done much in the last few months.  The lemonade you ask?  Is in the form of my daughters' hair dos.  I can still do little braids, pony tails and curls to make it work.  I officially decided on Sunday, that I think Baylie's hair is cute.  So, when my blog decides to function again - I'll post that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We celebrated Ben's birthday and went to the fair.  Both bloggable events - so I'll keep at it until something works - until then - I'm off to bed.

They are a three man group who are all 1/2 grade teachers in Seattle.  They were so fun and we're glad Stephanie knew about them and shared because there were several families from Puyallup that made the trip up.  You can see that Natalie and Baylie got out and danced - it was so cute to watch and fun to know that they were loving it too.

Craig left a sweet wife, four sons and several grandchildren.  Ali left a young husband doing a surgical residency and three small children.  My heart aches for such a loss, but at the same time, I know that they will live again and will be with their families again.  This has been quite the year and summer.  There have been soooo many babies born to families and friends in my area, several weddings a few divorces and unfortunately a few funerals.  I lost 2 classmates and a friend, Ali.  It really helps put life into persepective, makes me hold my babies a little closer and hold Ben a little longer.  I know that life will continue to hold all of these and I just hope I get to be there for all of them, instead of being the occasion!  We'll see.  I guess we can just hold our breath, enjoy the ride and hope that Heavenly Father has a bit more work for us to do!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2664066308699956952-8479542563541292020?l=connersconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/8479542563541292020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2664066308699956952&amp;postID=8479542563541292020' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/8479542563541292020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/8479542563541292020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/2008/07/life-is-too-short.html' title='Life is too short'/><author><name>Anna BenAnna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SV5vfzFnOJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/QqRrc0ypeIg/S220/IMG_0664.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664066308699956952.post-8324888137585683867</id><published>2008-07-29T15:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T16:33:32.042-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hawaii</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SI-faycW6PI/AAAAAAAAAKo/ntOjFDhK0rM/s1600-h/IMG_0269.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228572974966565106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SI-faycW6PI/AAAAAAAAAKo/ntOjFDhK0rM/s320/IMG_0269.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ashley and I went for a run one morning and this is where we ended - not much luck pushing a stroller on the beach - but it was fun!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SI-fbJDdEKI/AAAAAAAAAKw/u46_h_KQ6Tw/s1600-h/IMG_0271.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228572981036126370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SI-fbJDdEKI/AAAAAAAAAKw/u46_h_KQ6Tw/s320/IMG_0271.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Amy got a room at the Marriott for us to stay one night and to get ready for the wedding - this is a small section of the pool - Ashley loved it!

Thank you for the amazing things you have done for us, your example, your support and your simple smile of encouragment! We love you!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2664066308699956952-1679708809974746193?l=connersconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/1679708809974746193/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2664066308699956952&amp;postID=1679708809974746193' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/1679708809974746193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/1679708809974746193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/2008/06/happy-fathers-day.html' title='Happy Father&apos;s Day!'/><author><name>Anna BenAnna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SV5vfzFnOJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/QqRrc0ypeIg/S220/IMG_0664.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664066308699956952.post-8883941953780779255</id><published>2008-06-17T08:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T09:00:14.355-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sound to Narrows 12K</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeGHV-mrI/AAAAAAAAADE/VEbOceBDY9g/s1600-h/IMG_0016.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212879290336451250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeGHV-mrI/AAAAAAAAADE/VEbOceBDY9g/s320/IMG_0016.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeGwNaWFI/AAAAAAAAADM/Uwppi-qViKo/s1600-h/IMG_4320.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212879301306374226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeGwNaWFI/AAAAAAAAADM/Uwppi-qViKo/s320/IMG_4320.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeHKZbQQI/AAAAAAAAADU/bkxKbZxy1wM/s1600-h/IMG_0021.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212879308336087298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeHKZbQQI/AAAAAAAAADU/bkxKbZxy1wM/s320/IMG_0021.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeIEj2MbI/AAAAAAAAADc/P-sEhNDHe-U/s1600-h/IMG_0022.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212879323949052338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeIEj2MbI/AAAAAAAAADc/P-sEhNDHe-U/s320/IMG_0022.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeIaVKBPI/AAAAAAAAADk/bwExi2tFGGg/s1600-h/IMG_1220.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212879329793017074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeIaVKBPI/AAAAAAAAADk/bwExi2tFGGg/s320/IMG_1220.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My goal for the Sound to Narrows 12K this year was to do it in under 1 hr. That means I had to average an 8 minute mile the whole time. This is a challenge on flat road, but adding the hills added a whole new level. I tried my best to train, but I was pretty nervous come race day. The weather was ideal and the company was great. I was doing okay until the final hill. I thought that there was no way I'd reach my goal as I was crawling up the last hill. But, as I reached the grass and saw the finishing clock, I knew I made it. 59:33 was my final time. I was elated!! Ben was there with the girls which was the icing on the cake - it was a great day!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2664066308699956952-8883941953780779255?l=connersconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/8883941953780779255/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2664066308699956952&amp;postID=8883941953780779255' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/8883941953780779255'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/8883941953780779255'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/2008/06/sound-to-narrows-12k.html' title='Sound to Narrows 12K'/><author><name>Anna BenAnna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SV5vfzFnOJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/QqRrc0ypeIg/S220/IMG_0664.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfeGHV-mrI/AAAAAAAAADE/VEbOceBDY9g/s72-c/IMG_0016.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664066308699956952.post-4706962420769767148</id><published>2008-06-17T07:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T08:45:51.786-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Salt Water Park - Beach Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbXtBFw6I/AAAAAAAAACk/p6EJornOVGU/s1600-h/DSC_3477.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212876293972280226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbXtBFw6I/AAAAAAAAACk/p6EJornOVGU/s320/DSC_3477.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbYKqcmsI/AAAAAAAAACs/72N87uUikm8/s1600-h/DSC_3522.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212876301930371778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbYKqcmsI/AAAAAAAAACs/72N87uUikm8/s320/DSC_3522.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbYtBUwGI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Wl3zuMnyqRY/s1600-h/DSC_3507.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212876311153131618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbYtBUwGI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Wl3zuMnyqRY/s320/DSC_3507.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbY8DTxbI/AAAAAAAAAC8/_nfdn9HZ10w/s1600-h/DSC_3531.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212876315187987890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbY8DTxbI/AAAAAAAAAC8/_nfdn9HZ10w/s320/DSC_3531.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We had a field trip up to Salt Water Park in Kent for Natalie's preschool. They had been learning about ocean life so they were well prepared for this special low tide day at the park. Before leaving home Natalie talked about looking for purple crabs since that is her favorite color. Feeling almost positive that we wouldn't find purple crabs, I told her I'd help her look :-) Well, we didn't find purple crabs, but we did find purple sea stars!! Go figure! I was almost just as excited to find those as Natalie! We saw a baby octobus, a moon snail, sun star, several crabs, and many other things that morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2664066308699956952-4706962420769767148?l=connersconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/4706962420769767148/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2664066308699956952&amp;postID=4706962420769767148' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/4706962420769767148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2664066308699956952/posts/default/4706962420769767148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://connersconnections.blogspot.com/2008/06/salt-water-park-beach-day.html' title='Salt Water Park - Beach Day'/><author><name>Anna BenAnna</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SV5vfzFnOJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/QqRrc0ypeIg/S220/IMG_0664.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfbXtBFw6I/AAAAAAAAACk/p6EJornOVGU/s72-c/DSC_3477.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664066308699956952.post-6327040322357311368</id><published>2008-06-17T07:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-17T07:14:54.333-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bike Hike</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JTwrajb_X2c/SFfGZS_G6FI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Uyf980btrQc/s1600-h/Dad%27s+60th+birthday+020.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212853231600199762" style="DISPLAY: block;
