Sunday - Friday

Father's Day was not the best one we've ever had. Jarrett insisted on cooking breakfast for everyone (no complaints here) and then we packed up and were off to California. Jarrett wanted to get to his dad's house, in Vista, on Father's Day. Unfortunatly, the RV overheats fairly easily while pulling the Jeep, we were driving through the desert and a lot of hills so it was a stressfull day for him.


The In-Law's house was a welcome sight. Jarrett's parents live with his sister and her family in the hills of Southern California. This is the (amazing) view from their patio.

My mother in law is a home-ec teacher, she sets a beautiful table. She says, "Italian food must be eaten outside."

Wile in Vista, we took the kids to the beach. To me, this little walk is what makes the vacation, we always go to the same beach.

Riley and James loved it. We practically had to wrestle them out of the water.

Kelly said that he didn't like the ocean, turned his back on it, and pretended it wasnt there. He helped his cousins and uncle work on a 'hot tub'.

I also took the kids to Legoland. They're Lego-obsessed so it was a huge thrill for them!!

Here are the kids with some cousins, crawling all over a Lego-Man...

We rode some rides...Riley was faking excitement, the rides that Kelly can ride aren't too much of a thrill.

The kids got airbrush tattoos. James wanted a hummingbird, sweet thing, but eventually his boy cousins (nicely) convinced him to get a turtle.

It was a great stop but we were all excited to keep moving.

One more picture for mom. Yes, that is a donkey made entirely of Legos!
