What-What?! Week of September 9th

We also visited the Hollister house, and had an outing with all of the husband's family.

Saffron and Carla working on braiding some rope to fix the wooden swing.

My kids were given some books, so...

Took Corey to the bathroom and came across this picture of the husband with his brothers as kids.  So cute!

Looking at the hills on the way back from Hollister.  You can still see some of the haze from the smoke.

We also went to the beach!

There were these tunnels dug into the hillside, so we took pictures with them.

Saffron burying herself in sand, as always.

Oz and I made a sandcastle

The entire time we were there, this seagull hung around and watched.

Another little tunnel dug into the hillside.

I made him wear a hat.

My mom found these trucks that had been left on the beach.  No one came back to get them, so my kids had a good time driving them around.

What-What?! Week of September 2nd

We recently spent a week in California visiting family.  I have a lot of pictures and am still in the process of going through them.  Compared to last time we visited, we spent a lot more time visiting family rather than doing stuff.

This included spending a lot of time at Grandma's house, playing with the chickens and other things outside:

Looking for eggs

Old alpaca

Feeding the chickens.  Osric kept backing up while doing this because the chickens kept getting closer and closer.  Eventually he started circling around.

Oz spent some time playing with his cousin, who is now very tall.

They decided that, since Oz was short and his cousin was tall, Oz should have the long stick and his cousin should have the short one.

Talking about a stick.  Billy the dog in the background, pointing.

Aww, pet the dog

PET THE DOG MORE!

My biggest and smallest, running away

More pictures next week!
