Picture of the day:

 Cameron had a science project about earthquakes earlier this year. He had to make a board describing different kinds of earthquakes and how they affect the land. At the last minute, he told me that he could get extra credit for visiting the San Andreas Fault which runs north to south in California. So, at 6:00 in the morning, we set out and drove 90 minutes so I could take a couple of pictures of him standing in front of the fault. You can see the San Andreas Fault behind him- it is the ridge of hills right there. Then we drove home. I guess it’s what mommies do so that their kids can get some extra credit. Whew!
