We spent a short, but fun, memorial day weekend in California with Ken's parents, brother, and nephew. We had a great time visiting and being together. The kids loved swimming in the pool. My parents and sister came up on Sunday night to spend a few hours with us and the kids as well. Amy finally learned how to pedal a bike. She felt like quite a big girl finally figuring out how to do that.
On Monday we went on a hike near his parent's home. The hike had a spectacular view of the ocean. We found some "buried treasure", a geocache, and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
A couple things you might have heard Amy say while on the hike: "Daddy, if we see an animal in trouble we need to help it okay?" (Hmm. . . a little Diego influence?) and "Daddy, we're going in the jungle. You need to follow me." Ian enjoyed looking for lizards and bugs, finding the sailboats on the ocean, and watching the fighter planes overhead. The kids did great. It made me anxious to go "exploring" more.
It was our last "driving vacation" for awhile. We figured out that since January we had been to Arizona twice, California twice, and Orderville once. Our kids are now seasoned road trippers, and luckily they travel quite well so far. The ride home from California was a bit eventful with a throw-up episode and a potty incident, but I guess you have to make it memorable somehow :). We love our family and were glad to spend the time hanging out with them.
