Summer....so far

We have been having a great summer so far with a lot of visitors....................Laci and her family were here to enjoy the beach and mountains and we had tons of laughs and ice cream.

Haylee informed us that she has been waiting all YEAR for chocolate malted crunch ice cream so she (they) ate a bowl everynight.......she told us she can only get it in Carpinteria, Vegas and Mexico.....so you know, it was now or never. We thought of a lot of different ways she could take some cartons home.

White Rock is one of our favorite places to go up the 154.............we can play for hours.....

We tried a few new things in SB.........like this ride and an eight seater bike....and an interesting hippie van.....

This is only the third time N has seen little Beckham......he is almost a year old and on the brink of walking and so cute.................

Haylee skinned a snake and thought Gma Trudy would be so proud!!! We talked a lot about the time Gma Trudy saw a Rattle snake in the road and turned around to run it over and over and over and then cut the rattle off for show and tell.....

Haylee rocked it on a 5 mile hike and had to pull her 30yr old aunt up the mountain........but the view was worth it.

Karalee and her 2 boys were here and we went to the famous St. Joseph's carnival and had a blast. (We only almost lost Austin two times......)

Real Grandpas wear purses..........and babysit while the others ride all of the rides! He also babysat daily so the girls could work out. Thanks Gpa!

Kade and Austin loved the rides........they are so funny to watch because they get so excited. They love the beach and kept Ruby very busy.
