Well we are home from our long Summer adventures. It is a bitter sweet return. On one hand I am so happy to be in my house, bed, routine and friends. On the other hand I really miss being with my sister and her boys, and basically doing everything together.
Here are the pictures from our last part of the trip. Caleb had the last six days in California off. So we were able to have a little actual family vacation time, probably our last for a while. Saturday, our last in California, my whole family came to Hope Ranch Beach for a farewell BBQ and get together. It was a perfect warm day, and we had so much fun. The cousins all played and boogie boarded. The three youngest babies dug in the sand together all day. I took about twenty pictures of them trying to get them all together and looking...this is the best I could get. No Ezra is not going to hit Joshua in the head with the shovel, all though they have both whacked each other once or twice. There is some definite love hate relationships amongst toddlers.
Braddock was getting really excited about all of us singing and shouting trying to get all the babies looking. As you can see he was the only obedient one, he is smiling and looking cute in everyone of my pictures.
Joshua got the prized "big" shovel for a while and went around "dig dig digging".
Tuesday ended up being our last day in downtown Santa Barbara. My brother in law Scott has Tuesdays off so we all went together to have a fun "touristy" day. We rented a big surrey bike for us and rode along the beach front path. It wasn't enough for us to just take a gentle ride we decided to do the whole ten mile stretch with big hills and all. My rear was so sore, but it was worth it.
After the surrey we walked out on the Santa Barbara break water around the harbor.
Elijah and Isaac walking out to the point. Everyday we have been home Joshua wakes up and says "Mom, where Elijah, Issac, and Ezra? We go to Aunt Pizzy's house?" (that is what he calls my sister) He loved hanging out with those boys.
Daddy and Joshua on the "secret beach" with Santa Barbara behind them. I love Santa Babara it is so beautiful and fun.
Caleb and Joshua balancing their way back from the point.
It was a great trip but it is nice to be home. We are all cleaned up and un-packed. Everything is back to normal and we are not planning on going anywhere until at least January. So we are back to normal for a while. Well almost normal...new baby coming in October and Caleb off interviewing for residencies who knows when or where :). So we will still be busy just living life.
