Santa Cruz

 Fun at the beach... you gotta love California at the first of October

 We scored & saw a sea lion you can just see his small head in the middle

 See the sand crabs

LOVE that face

We went to my cousin Jason's wedding in Santa Cruz. These are the only photos I have. I got zero photos at the wedding... it's hard with the kiddos at an event like a wedding. We were just having fun!

Addie had a birthday

The special cake from little delights cupcakes.

Can't believe my baby girl is 4! She was so sweet, & kept saying mom this is the best birthday ever!

Muir Woods

                                      Do you see the deer? The kids loved watching them.

We had such a great trip to the Muir Woods. It was beautiful. The parking was crazy busy. Luckily we found one in the lot after this man tried to reverse in front of us. Josh saw a baby squirrel at the end of the trip. He watched that little thing forever. The redwoods there really are majestic. I think it is remarkable that these trees are so old, and have even continued to stand through earthquakes that destroyed the city & roads... remarkable how strong they stand.

Gymanstics

Addie loves going to gymnastics. She's learning a lot of tricks.
