A Quick Trip

A couple weekends ago we were able to take a quick trip to Monterey. Here are a few pictures of our day and a half there.
We went to the aquarium on Saturday morning. As I've mentioned before the beauty of having season passes is that we can stay for as long or as short as we wish. We also don't feel bad when the kids just want to play on the toys in the kid section more than look at fish. They had a great time on the rocking fish and the slide. It was so fun to watch them playing nice together.

Taking a snack break outside.
I love this picture, Ethan is finally just tall enough to see over the wall to look at the ocean below. This morning we were watching a big group of kyakers.

At the ocean after dinner, doing what else, but throwing rocks. Morgan has quickly picked up on her brothers favorite beach activity.


While we were driving to Monterey we decided to give John and Brenda a call to see if they wanted to join us for the night. They accepted and we of course had a fabulous time. After we had been home for a few days Ethan asked when we would see John and Brenda again because "They are my best friends." He has a blast with them. Of course the extra attention helps too:)


The evening was perfect, no wind, setting sun. A great chance to take some pictures.






Another highlight that evening was looking in the tide pools with John the found a lot of sea urchins Saturday night and 3 starfish Sunday morning. So fun!
Again, we are spoiled to have such a great place to go every once in a while to just get away. Thanks Dad and Mom!
