Camping Trip with the Boys, Buffalo Creek, CO

My sister's kids, Dylan and JJ came and spent some time
with us this summer. What a time we had. We sure realized
how much we missed having them around. We went
camping the first weekend they got here.
Lydia, Maddy, Mommy and Daddy got sick and JJ....
Dylan. Trying to find a good fishing spot. That
was a little hard with the other kids splashing all around
the creek.
JJ and Taylor. Cute
Jeff trying to fish....didn't catch anything this time!
JJ, was goofing around the fire and fell. Thank
God, is was only slight burn, because it truly
could have been catatrophic.
The kids!

BBQ with friends...with a slip and slide

Nani, looks relaxed and having a good time.
Lydia's version of enjoying the slip n slide.

Taylor loved the slip n slide. It has made it
home with us, and she loves to do it in Colorado too!
Maddy enjoying the fun.

Old high school friends.
Bridget, Cherri, Jen and Heather.
We don't look bad for our age!





More time on the California Coast!

Taylor is shy.....hid behind lots of sand smeared all over her body.
Maddy could barely handle the water, although after several tries, she stopped lifting her little feet to avoid the water and let the water swoosh around her.
Lydia found this shovel and had a great time, staying dry and
digging for crabs. She likes the water to be hot, not cold.

What a bathing beauty!




Gosh we just love the beach!

We all loved cooling off after a warm day at the zoo, at the beach. Maddy tested the sand, and said that it was good. Taylor got entirely drenched, while Lydia got a few toes wet!





A trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo!

Okay, so on this addition to our "love" of zoos, you won't see
any animals. Well, just the animals of our family sliding down
this hill made of fake grass.
Lydia gives it a try!
Taylor all by herself!
Even Maddy gives it a try! She thought it was a hoot. Protective
Daddy, makes sure she is okay to travel/slide by herself.
Thank goodness for Daddy!




Maddy enjoying some quality fruits of California. Watermelon.
She looks a little tired.





Visit to their Great Grandparents!

The girls got to spend a few hours with their Great Grandparents on their
Nani's side. They liked the snacksthat Grandma Lois made the most,
and the old dolls that Nani had made for them.

Motorcycle Papa's New Bike!!! Who are those hot babes on that bike?

On our trip to California, we got to see Motorcycle Papa's new pride and joy.
I was just proud of the beautiful babes on the bike!
