We love vacation

Normally, we love warm weather vacations, but after our hot spell at home last week, we wanted a cool vacation on the North Coast and this weekend has been just what we needed. We've combed the beaches for shells and rocks (at Wrigth's Beach, where my grandma Elsie loved to rock hunt), took a drive up past Jenner on the windy Hwy 1 - we all felt a little car sick it was so curvy - but the view made it worthwhile! We also found a great little place called the Dog House for burgers and homemade fries.

Quail at the Coast

I have never seen a live Quail so up close!

Bodega Bay

Googlie Mooglie

Another one gone

Jack lost his second bottom tooth yesterday! Hooray!

100 Degrees in the Shade

To combat this early heatwave, we spent the evening in the pool. Sure did feel good!

Glamorous

We attended the Mother/Daughter dinner at the Moose Saturday night and Maya had great fun trying on sunglasses and hats!

Friends

Jack, Oscar and Maya enjoy an afternoon at the park! Jack is a great playmate for the two little ones. Oscar is a few months older than Maya and we were fortunate to meet his parents through our journey of adoption. Oscar is such a cool little guy and the kids have a great time at the park during our weekly outing!

Big Shoes to Fill

Maya loves shooozz (as she says) and if I tell her to bring me a pair of shoes, she can find a matching pair for me to help her put on. I find this pretty impressive for an 18 month old (and she's been doing it for 2 months now :) Although she loves her shoes, Jack's shoes are the bestest of all and she can put his blue Crocs on all by herself. Sometimes she wears them over her shoes and sometimes she takes her shoes off first. Here she is, helping Mommy clean the kitchen floor. She is such a big help!
