The girls finished their last day of school on Friday. We are very happy to be on summer break. They are working on Science Fair projects which will be on display the end of this month. I will share more about that later. We are busy getting ready for my parents visit. They will arrive on Thursday and will be here until June 1st. We are very excited that they get to visit again.
This past weekend we went to the Castroville Artichoke Festival. We enjoyed eating all the yummy foods with artichoke in them. Castroville is the Artichoke center of the world and you would know why if you ever visited there. I am not sure if I had ever eaten Artichoke before moving here but I know I had never used it in my cooking. It is something I will definitely be learning to use more often. It is really good on pizza with chicken and spinach.
I am going to post a few random pictures that I have taken from the past few weeks. I have had very little time to blog so this is just a sample of what has been happening here.

Have looked at artichokes... eventually ate one once, but apparently not prepared to its best advantage. I think I would rather stop at that really cool Ice Cream truck! :P
