We had a nice relaxing week. It didn't take too long to feel recovered from our big camping trip. We had errands to run and tons of laundry to do, but that just took a couple of days to get things taken care of.
And then because we enjoyed our hikes so much, we went hiking two evenings this week: once to the south bay area, where the birds tried to dive bomb us. Literally. Hehehe. We had nice timing to see the sunset out by the bay. I was amazed by how much area "used to be" bay but isn't currently. The second evening hike we drove through the winding roads at the foot hills to the Monte Bello open space preserve. We saw two coyotes and a deer there, but forgot to bring water bottles so we didn't get much more than a mile of hiking in. We did pick up a nice map they offered showing other trails, so we have more exploring ahead of us.
We went swimming Saturday morning, and Wayne went swimming with Chris one of the week nights (I personally found it too cold, but that's just me). Swimming pools are nice, for sure. And it's nice that swimming suits are stretchy enough for me to still fit mine!
Wayne's artist friend taught a hands on mini class on building a bot that follows light with photoreceptors, so Saturday we both headed to campus to learn how to build a bot. We turned the motors a different way though, so we could attach wheels, but as soon as we attach wheels we'll get some video of the bot and Star cat! Tee hee. She'll like that, I'm sure.
And today I taught my ctr-8 class again. It felt like it had been forever since I taught. It's the first time since I've had this calling that I missed more than one week at a time. It turns out most of the kids (and subs!) were also out of town, so today we had two lessons in one. :) The kids seemed to take it alright. They liked having a class outline so they knew what was coming when. (Or maybe I liked it so I didn't get questions interrupting the lesson all the time asking if we're going to play a game today?)
