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!

Maddy sitting all by herself and SISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Maddy sitting by herself and being content.

Then the sisters, start buggin' her and she gets really mad.
Poor baby, this is just the begining of your

relationship with two older sisters!
