Lovin' our new location and Benihana





































Hi there everyone,

Time just always seems to be getting away from us. Our weekends, especially in the Summer Time are always seeming to be booked. Carol has been busy with a baby shower for one co-worker and a bridal shower for her boss.


We love our new location here in Rancho Cordova. This spot, we expect to be in for the foreseeable future. It is a great spot with a lot of shad and a fenced in yard. We really lucked out with this spot.


On the 11th of June, we went out to dinner with Katie and Russ at Benihana. It was a real splurge, but you gotta do that once a year or so. We all enjoyed the meal and the entertainment from the chef a lot. Carol and I always really enjoy getting together with Katie and Russ, they are just so grown up. We are so lucky to be a part of their lives. :-)


On June 19th, we got together with them again for dinner. This time for Fathers day. It was such a special outing for me. Goodness knows Katie and I have butted heads when she was growing up, but I am so lucky to be in her life as her step father. Thank you Katie and Russ for making this fathers day so very special too me. Earlier in the day, Carol was so kind as to take me to the Northern California Aerospace museum at McClellan field, an old Air Force base. I really enjoy these sorts of places and Carol does too. The only problem was Carol had gotten a bit sun-burned at the Pet-a-palooza the day before.


The Pet-a-palooza. It is a pet fair sponsored by the local CBS affiliates. We had a great time walking around with other dog owners taking in all of the vendors, listening to the music and getting our step count up. :-) They had these 'Hydration stations' where there were water bowls and small wading pools. We took Rosie to the event and we found out just how much she really likes water. Despite the water being filthy, she loves to get into the wading pools and cool off. So, later that weekend, we picked one up at our local Lowes and filled it with water at home. :-)


Happy camping! - Eric and Carol -


















Carol and I have figured out that we are going to Zion and Bryce for our Vacation this year. Unfortunately, the monitor on the Laptop is poopin' out, so we are going to have to send it in for Warranty service. That may mean that we won't have it to update the blog while we are on the road. But, we will do our best to keep you posted.


















Happy camping! Eric and Carol Anderson

Isn't it amazing how the kids finally do grow up eventually. I butted heads with my son (more times than I care to count) but he has turned into such a nice man. We still don't always agree but we can at least talk about it now instead of arguing. It's wonderful.
