10 super fun days in Cali!

Here are a few photos from our trip to CA.
Lots happened while we were there.... both Haley and Lindsay lost a tooth!
We spent the day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and then at Capitola Beach.
We spent lots of time with friends and family.
We spent 3 days up at Donner State Park, camping!
It was wonderful, of course.
Oh, and one last thing we need to tell you.
I am expecting Baby #5!
Due in Feb. around my b-day.
Pretty fun, huh?!




If you haven't been to this aquarium lately, you need to go!
You can easily spend the entire day there! We love this place.
You get to touch fun and slimy creatures!


This may be our Christmas pic. for this year...





Everyone around the anchovies!


Lawson girls...






My favorite animal when I was a kid was the Seahorse. I still love them and so do my girls!






Chloe and I heart Otters!







Deb and Gene with Bubba.







Cousins...
Haley, Chloe, Anais (Aaron's daughter), Nat and Linds.





Capitola:











Oh how I love the beach and this beach house!





The 3 Musketeers!







On the way to Donner!! woo hoo!





Donner Lake:
What's the first thing my children find in the water??
A dead fish.
And what do my children do about the dead fish?
Run away from it?
NO!
They put it in a bucket and then buried it, giving it a headstone and everything.
What does my youngest girl do the next day when we return to the lake?
Digs up the fish and plays with it until I scream at her to drop it!
ew


Climbing cousins:







On "Bird Poop Rock".








Fun times!








Fun times until these two teenagers go off on the kayak and are gone for 3 hours and scare us all to death... thankfully all was well, they just got a little lost. phew!






Oh how these boys loved playing together!
BOY cousins!!! yea!!!
Adam and Brigham.





How did my kid get so dirty you ask?






Maybe from making "dirt angels"???
nice.



cousin time in the trailer.

Saying goodbye:

Cousins.

We had a fabulous time! We miss everyone and want to thank them for the fun!
