Kara, Eric, Ethan and I got to Monterey on Friday afternoon. We took a nice walk along the ocean and then Ethan attempted a nap, he wasn't successful, so I got him up and the 4 of us went to Spanish Bay Golf Resort. Every night at sunset there is a bagpiper who walks up one of the back fairways playing his bagpipe and then he stops and plays for about 20 minutes. They have huge fire pits and tables outside and it was packed with people waiting for the player to arrive and enjoying appetizers and cocktails. We were too late to get a seat by the fire, but we sat near some grass that Ethan loved running around on. It was such a fun atmosphere and a really cool thing to see. We liked it so much that we went back on Sunday night, but this time my parents and Kevin joined us.

On Saturday, Eric and Kara and my parents went golfing. Ethan and I hung out at the house and then went on a nice walk. I had lots of fun taking pictures of him. This is one of my favorites.
That night we had ribs for dinner. Ethan really wanted to try a bite, I was surprised, but he actually got the hang of it and got some meat off the bone!
Kevin arrived late Saturday night, after his team played in the championship in their holiday tournament. Sunday afternoon, after the guys played Poppy Hills, Ethan, Kevin and I went on a walk. Again we thoroughly enjoyed the scenery.
Ethan even attempted to climb the rocks by the water.
That night the kids were in charge of dinner, it was part of our gift to my dad for his 60th birthday, the other half was a round of golf at Poppy. It was a delicious dinner and the company was even better.
On Monday morning before we left Eric, Kara, Kevin, Ethan and I went on one more walk down to the beach. It is just so beautiful it's hard to leave!

Here is Ethan enjoying a snack at his new table he got for Christmas from Papa and Nana. He's still working on getting on the chairs himself, but I know he will have years of fun at that table.

Your new camera takes great pictures. It sounded like you guys had a lot of fun in Monterey and now we have the proof...you did. What are you up to next weekend??? Just kidding.
We did have a great time by the ocean and the meal the "kids" cooked was awesome!
