Andru is such a good helper and a little jokester too. We had a beach day - jumped waves, built sandcastles, ate watermelon and let the juices drip down our faces(see Lyla). We ate ice cream and played in fountains. We watched movies, played video games, made blueberry cobbler and had an ongoing game of slug bug. Andru won of course. It was a fantastic weekend! Lyla had a blast and hopefully Andru did too.<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TFHW4wn6ZsI/AAAAAAAAAg8/zRB9j_vDDjk/s1600/IMG_0680.JPG"><blockquote></blockquote><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TFHW4wn6ZsI/AAAAAAAAAg8/zRB9j_vDDjk/s400/IMG_0680.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499412890609411778" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TFHW4Qp4WUI/AAAAAAAAAg0/yKOTtj-uu_c/s1600/IMG_0689.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TFHW4Qp4WUI/AAAAAAAAAg0/yKOTtj-uu_c/s400/IMG_0689.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499412882027731266" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TFHW3qbZriI/AAAAAAAAAgs/F_fNLEevMDE/s1600/IMG_0688.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TFHW3qbZriI/AAAAAAAAAgs/F_fNLEevMDE/s400/IMG_0688.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499412871766453794" /><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TFHcv0zKtEI/AAAAAAAAAhE/0QjsaThHG9w/s400/IMG_0699.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499419334181303362" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></span><br /></div></div>Adriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15487996270448221343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317072445774917037.post-21803385396062856712010-06-09T21:31:00.000-07:002010-06-12T13:57:26.414-07:00Key West - The End!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBKIi-T70QI/AAAAAAAAAgk/55tXc-P1Kvw/s1600/DSC_4521.JPG"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBKGWh5-ktI/AAAAAAAAAgc/9LQmecuqTKc/s1600/DSC_4444.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBKGWh5-ktI/AAAAAAAAAgc/9LQmecuqTKc/s400/DSC_4444.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481591418080105170" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Key West is known for its sunsets. Every evening, tourists from around the world gather in Mallory Square for the sunset celebration. Of course we couldn't miss that and I'm so glad we didn't. When the the last bit of setting sun disappears behind the earth the celebration begins. There are performers galore, some quite talented and most a little bit crazy. There were pirates and acrobats, jugglers, and mimes, balloon artists and musicians all trying to lure you in. We couldn't resist the pirates and kids are drawn to balloons like a moth to flame. It was all great fun and after a slice of key lime pie we retired to our hotel for some much needed rest.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The next day began with a visit to Hemingway House. It was actually his second wife's house, which she kept after they divorced, but is still famous for the years he spent living and writing there. The cats are famous too and there are up to 50 that live there at a time. They basically rule the roost and are free to roam wherever they would like. After a very interesting tour of the house and grounds we wandered the streets for a bit and stopped for a snack of conch fritters and some more key lime pie - this time from The Blonde Giraffe. They are famous for their chocolate dipped key lime pie on a stick! The regular key lime pie was delicious as well. On the way out of town we had to make one last stop at the southern most point in the continental US for a photo op, then it back in the car for the long drive home. It was a perfect little escape that only left me wanting more. I'm already busy planning our next adventure - I'm thinking somewhere international this time. Lyla needs some stamps in her passport.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHIPpgkqjI/AAAAAAAAAgM/kEJwfT53CWA/s1600/DSC_4615.JPG"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHIPfvVO3I/AAAAAAAAAgE/erQyQfAlR_g/s1600/DSC_4422.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHIPfvVO3I/AAAAAAAAAgE/erQyQfAlR_g/s400/DSC_4422.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481382390030220146" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Basking in the glow of the setting sun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHFObH6nUI/AAAAAAAAAfM/f6qeRdobGTA/s1600/DSC_4472.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHFObH6nUI/AAAAAAAAAfM/f6qeRdobGTA/s400/DSC_4472.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481379073076403522" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pirates</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBKIi-T70QI/AAAAAAAAAgk/55tXc-P1Kvw/s400/DSC_4521.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481593830886854914" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">Tyler waiting for his motorcycle balloon.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHIQIoBfeI/AAAAAAAAAgU/Ru2exk7Rsjk/s400/DSC_4531.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481382401005420002" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yum!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHFPrtAEDI/AAAAAAAAAfk/SGhuu8h6-qQ/s1600/DSC_4566.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHFPrtAEDI/AAAAAAAAAfk/SGhuu8h6-qQ/s400/DSC_4566.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481379094706786354" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Hemingway House.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHFPEizBhI/AAAAAAAAAfc/cCBS5DSKyPM/s1600/DSC_4570.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/TBHFPEizBhI/AAAAAAAAAfc/cCBS5DSKyPM/s400/DSC_4570.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481379084195005970" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">One of the many cats.

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised at how good they all were. It was actually quite relaxing. Tina and I sat in the back and chatted away, keeping the kids under control by throwing out a few snacks every now and then. When the kids started to get antsy we stopped and swam, which was wonderful for all of us. That warm water was heaven.</span></span><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">Have I mentioned that Lyla loves the water! She loves the tub, the pool, the ocean. She splashes in the cat's water bowl and runs, ok, crawls really fast, whenever someone turns on the bath or shower. She wants to wash her hands every time I do and tries with all her might to turn on the hose whenever we are outside. Well, needless to say she had a lot of fun every time we stopped for a swim break.</span></span></div><div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">The first beach we stopped at was surrounded by mangroves and had a great little reef you could hike out to. The kids loved that and exhausted themselves running around looking for shells and fish and eating seaweed(Lyla). We snacked on PB and J's and soaked up the sun. It was fabulous! The kids fell asleep almost immediately upon getting back in the car and Tina and I continued chatting.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">On the way home, we stopped at a different beach that was so secluded. It was beautiful! The sand was so white and so fine. It squished between your toes when you walked out into the water and was great for making drip castles. You could walk forever but watch your toes. We discovered pretty quick that there were lots of curious crabs waiting to get a pinch. Erik was the only one that braved the long walk out to the drop off for a real swim. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

I hadn't seen her in over two years, so that alone was bliss! Since we were all the way over on the opposite coast we thought it best to do something we had never done before which led to our hopping in the car and driving four hours down to Key West. Better still, we convinced Tina and her hubby Drew to come along with their two kids. We had a blast despite the new experience of traveling with little ones in tow. Lyla was great, as usual. The plane ride was a little tough because she wanted to get down and crawl around, but the overall experience was completely worth it. She loved playing with Alaina and Tyler and swimming in the warm Atlantic ocean. We have a ton of photos and I'm going to do my best to post a few each day.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S_GCaKExzzI/AAAAAAAAAcM/6AvH802ptp4/s1600/IMG_0543.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S_GCaKExzzI/AAAAAAAAAcM/6AvH802ptp4/s400/IMG_0543.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472298408124469042" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Such a big girl.

Before Lyla it was effortless. I could sit, listen, ponder and reflect. Now, it is a much more physical undertaking. Lots of energy is spent trying to keep our little sweet love entertained. We sit in the back of course, so that we can spread out with some toys and exit quickly if necessary. Because we have a busy and talkative little Honey it is almost always necessary.</div><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; ">The upside is that we are usually in good company. Glad to know I am not the only one who can't keep my child under control! These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago. There was quite a group in the hallway this particular sunday. Most of the kiddos were about the same age and were having so much fun crawling after each other. Who doesn't love a good game of follow the leader? It was pretty entertaining.</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuF4l1ftI/AAAAAAAAAY8/oDmRJU4KcW4/s1600-h/IMG_0389.JPG"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuF4l1ftI/AAAAAAAAAY8/oDmRJU4KcW4/s400/IMG_0389.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437513909977579218" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuFWnmjBI/AAAAAAAAAY0/K4GuyRc0a2M/s1600-h/IMG_0386.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuFWnmjBI/AAAAAAAAAY0/K4GuyRc0a2M/s400/IMG_0386.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437513900858182674" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuEvxkSTI/AAAAAAAAAYs/VzRe3SUs1rw/s1600-h/IMG_0388.JPG"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuEvxkSTI/AAAAAAAAAYs/VzRe3SUs1rw/s400/IMG_0388.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437513890430994738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuDqjn0YI/AAAAAAAAAYk/6CJ2hP7VeAA/s1600-h/IMG_0385.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/S3XuDqjn0YI/AAAAAAAAAYk/6CJ2hP7VeAA/s400/IMG_0385.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437513871850459522" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a>Lyla's darling red shoes were a gift from her aunties.

The days festivities included a tractor hayride, pony rides and a petting zoo for bigger kids, a corn maze, music, and of couse a pumpkin patch. We went with a few friends and had a wonderful time.

We were blessed with a beautiful rainbow, unfortunately Erik didn't have the proper lens with him and so could not capture its full magnificence. The light was beautiful and the ocean sparkled turquoise as the waves crashed the shore. We dipped our toes and then sat to soak in the beauty.Adriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15487996270448221343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317072445774917037.post-14490562666089860612009-10-14T20:17:00.001-07:002009-10-14T20:21:39.265-07:00This One Is For You Auntie Gini<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StaU2uv4GYI/AAAAAAAAAUA/boDiM33HTXc/s1600-h/CSC_0605.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StaU2uv4GYI/AAAAAAAAAUA/boDiM33HTXc/s400/CSC_0605.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392661271805434242" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">XOXO Sweet Sweet Honey</div>Adriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15487996270448221343noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317072445774917037.post-84122463813157657712009-10-13T20:38:00.000-07:002009-10-13T22:34:13.078-07:00Soup and Sweatshirts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StVe94iXQKI/AAAAAAAAAT4/JVeYkbtOMtE/s1600-h/DSC_0522.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StVe94iXQKI/AAAAAAAAAT4/JVeYkbtOMtE/s400/DSC_0522.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392320546087583906" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">We don't get much of a season change here in So. Cal. but the last few days have been blissfully cool and Fall-like. We even got some rain and that always makes me feel like staying in and cooking up some cozy meals. I made a huge pot of soup yesterday - Spinach, White Bean and Italian Sausage Soup to be exact. I found the recipe on this tasty <a href="http://potsandpeterpans.blogspot.com/2009/10/soup-week-spinach-white-bean-and.html">blog</a></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">.

We ended up at the park. Our sweet Honey loved the swings but the slide - not so much. By the time we got home the soup was perfect! It was off to bed for the Honey and Erik and I snuggled up to watch a movie. A delightful day! Unfortunately Fall won't last. It's supposed to be in the 80's by the weekend. Beach days ahead.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StVefTfDsDI/AAAAAAAAATw/BvS2dVYjM9A/s400/DSC_0534.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392320020745531442" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></span><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StVZrlL7gII/AAAAAAAAATo/V89lv5Pf1yI/s400/DSC_0540.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392314734097432706" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StVZrGYPgUI/AAAAAAAAATg/YXZiRaiWLcE/s400/DSC_0589.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392314725827576130" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /></span></span></div>Adriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15487996270448221343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317072445774917037.post-45053941946699192632009-10-11T22:29:00.001-07:002009-10-11T22:39:35.008-07:00I Love You Aunt Jamie!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StLAcajfOOI/AAAAAAAAATA/ZmmNLDYMJKw/s1600-h/DSC_0284.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/StLAcajfOOI/AAAAAAAAATA/ZmmNLDYMJKw/s400/DSC_0284.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391583298312943842" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here's one to hold you over!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Adriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15487996270448221343noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317072445774917037.post-81515799177337115152009-09-23T13:22:00.000-07:002009-09-24T11:29:55.560-07:00One Fine Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mlERkLmfkxs/SrrwvXbcqII/AAAAAAAAASo/pTXSy-sBc9g/s1600-h/DSC_0079.JPG"></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Last weekend we drove across the city to the mountain town of Oak Glen - beautiful!. It was so refreshing to be away from the hustle and bustle, breathing in the air and enjoying the lovely green surroundings. I am always amazed that places like this are so close to the busy city. My mom had come up for the weekend so she came along on our adventure. Our first stop was Snow Line Orchard where we picked raspberries, met a llama, a fat goat, a couple of mini horses, and one lazy dog. We also shopped at the "old timey" market, devoured the homemade doughnuts and tasted the many varieties of apples. Doesn't that sound delightful?</span></div><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The fun didn't stop there. After we topped off our baskets (and eaten our fill) of raspberries, we headed down the road to Riley's at Los Rios Ranchos for a proper BBQ lunch. Unfortunately we were too full for the baked items although by the the time we got home I was regretting not buying one of the scrumptious looking apple pies - what was I thinking! While we ate we were entertained by some beautiful music and people watching. It was a lovely day for all. I love living near the ocean but maybe I am a little bit country too!</span></div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

That place is a little scary if you ask me but they really do have everything you need and with a 6 month old one stop shopping is the only way to go. We found the bouncer and picked up a few other items as well - diapers, wipes, teething ring, fruits and veggies, spoons, sippy cup . . . Huh? Sippy Cup! Are we really at Sippy Cup already? How did that happen and why does it make me feel so sad? Being a parent is such an amazing and humbling experience and we are loving every moment it's just that those moments are passing way too fast.
