Summer update

I ventured to the Beach at Camp Pendelton to meet up with my whole family, when i say ventured i mean, solo, with a three year old and a 6 week old and no hubby. Scary, yes. Thankfully the kids did great travelling but picture me trying to go through security, i recieved many looks of pity. It was so much fun but a bit exhausting as every vacation is with kids. Seaworld, the beach, good food and family sums it up. Brian couldn't come along cuz of training...booo (thumbs down)!
All the cute cousins-except baby maxwell


Crazel our loving nickname for her "other" personality. She was in heaven with her buddies! Give this girl a shovel and she will dig on the beach ALL DAY LONG! Anyone hiring?


Yow! My lil' sis...what a beauty!



Uncle Dan with max having deep thoughts.




Hey ladies...


Sorry guys, i can't seem to find the pictures of me basking in the sun in my thong? Darn





Pics from Lime Kiln point, our San Juan Islands excursion. Okay, i didn't take this one.
But i did take this one...can you tell? We totally got caught in our first rainstorm and dashed to the car for cover! We were a bit unprepared.


Roche Harbor, so many awesome boats...i mean yachts! We were checking them out pretending we were in the market for one....dreaming of the day. If any of you come visit this is so fun to take the ferries over to the islands and see all the sites. A pod of whales was spotted breaching about! I didn't get any great pics but trust me...it was a glorious sight!





Another berry-pickin good time with our favorite friends at a local farm. We also took home some awesome sunflowers and zinnias.

A heart pounding, thrilling wagon ride.


A romantic "playdate" in the orchard.

Do you think Hazel ate a few blackberries before we weighed them and paid??? Nah.

Brian gets home tomorrow after 2 WEEKS of being in Philly for training....CAN'T WAIT is an understatement. I need a full day of relaxation...anyone know of any good day spas out here?
