3 Weeks in California

We spent some real quality time with cousins this trip. What a blast! Thanks, Nat and Robynn, for taking such great care of us and for having such awesome pools. I didn't get tons of pictures 'cause I wanted to relax too, but here are a few.

Ya in his very favorite happy place:

Ana, Emily, and Brooke striking a pose before diving.

Jake doing his "Crazy Eyes."

Meili saving the baby birds on Grandpa's back porch. That was an ordeal!

Reconnecting with my Tami & Wendy, my BFFF's (Best Freakin' Friends Forever) at--where else? Leatherby's! We brought our kids and had just the best time laughing over all the memories and great pictures Wendy brought. Everything about the 80s was awesome, but these gals made that time extra memorable for me.

Meili and Abbie came to see the triplets they connected with years ago. They used to call the two of them "Abbilee." Still works, I think.

Only shot I got of Dylan, Kelsey, and Callie. Can't believe they're 10! We just love 'em.

Ana LOVED her clown sundae. I think she was the baby of this group. As always, though, she fit right in.

Eliah and Ben making a polite appearance before heading out to the car to listen to the radio. Typical.

Tami with her sweet daughter Coral. It was so great to get to know her better. This was a great day. Thanks for more memories!

Last shot of the trip: Most of the cousins watching "Hairspray" at Dave & Robynn's. All happily bonded.
