We went home to my parents house in California for a week. The weather was awesome!! We had a blast. My parents have a pool in their backyard. The pool party was never ending. Kyle swam morning , afternoon, and night. This is him with a few of his cousins.
We went to Monteray Bay with my brother and his family for a few days while visiting my parents. It was overcast and cold. I forgot that Northern Cali beaches are unfortunately nothing like Hawaii's. The water was ice cold. I was so looking forward to putting my deathly fear of sharks aside and do a little boogie boarding. After putting one toe in the water I decided to succumb to my irrational fear, and stay hudled in my beach chair. It was still fun to play in the sand and smell the ocean air. Sand really brings out the six-year old in Steve. He looooves to play in sand, and according to my mother-in-law always has. It is very cute!!! (Steve never reads this blog, maybe he should)
Steve, Kyle, Richard, Kathryn, Jackson, and Rich in the sand castle before the waves destroyed it.
The next day when drove 17 mile drive and stopped at some of the tide pools. It was so much fun. We saw crabs, and a few sea otters.
We went to Monteray Bay Aquarium. It was so amazing!!! This picture turned out a little funky. We saw all kinds of marine animals. We had such a good time, Kyle still talks about it. We will definately have to go back once Jackson gets a little bigger.
