We had a visit from my family - One mom, three sisters, a three year old and three (did you catch that? THREE) one year olds!! It was loud, crazy and wonderful. I am so grateful my family was willing to make the enormous effort to travel to see us. We hung out, visited, bounced babies and even suffered through several rounds of the stomach flu. . . Family - it is a beautiful thing~
Ty reading with Stella. As you can see from the book, this was one of our kids' favorites. . .
Mom, sisters and the babies at the Riverwalk in Pueblo, CO - a gorgeous day!!!
We took the whole crew bowling. It was fun, in a chaotic sort of way. . .
Mom, Elly, Em and I in Salida - we had just finished an amazing lunch at Amica's - yum!!The day after everyone left, my friend, Elaine and I (pictured in AZ) loaded all our kids in the minivan and headed for San Diego. . . What an adventure!!
We explored La Jolla, Cabrillo tide pools, went on a whale watching cruise, and played on Coronado beach. Tommi said she is pretty sure God meant for her to live at the beach. . . I know the feeling!! We loved the ocean. . .
Tommi at La Jolla Cove. . .
Looking for Hermit crabs in LaJolla - Tommi, Elaine and Tyler
We found Peet's coffee in Carlsbad - Oh Yeah!!!
The ocean is not as warm as it looks, but we couldn't stay out of it. . . The highlight and reason for our trip, was to watch Christian (Elaine's son) perform in Rigoletto with the San Diego Opera. It was amazing - we were so proud of him and so grateful to get to experience opening night with thousands of other opera lovers. . . We are so blessed.So, the big question: Have I been reading??? Some but not much. Read some Robert Crais, Jodi Piccoult, Laurie Halse Anderson, and I even read an Anothony Horowitz, but more on that later. . .
