At the beach
Last week, friends of ours, invited us to spend some time at the beach house, friends of theirs were letting them stay in for a week. So we went for about 3 days and had a blast! Besides Violet getting sick, she did have fun and it was a nice relaxing time for us all. We really enjoyed spending time with our friends, Dave and Katie and their kids, who are also home for a short time to visit friends and family.
Unfortunately, while we were there some sand found it’s way into our camera. Now it does not work. Very sad, but I was hoping to get a new camera while we were home. So the pictures might be a bit scarce for a while until we get something.
Our little pumpkins
We didn’t get to go to a pumpkin patch back in PA, so we went to one not too far away from Micah’s mom’s house. It didn’t quite have the same feel here in California as it does back east. It wasn’t nice and cool out, like it should be this time of year for this kind of thing, but more of a warm summer day. We went to a place called Underwood Family Farms. They had lots of cool stuff for the kids to do, pony rides, different animals, a play area, and there was a John Deere combine with an added slide down the back. The girls had a fun time, but it was very hard to get good pictures of them. They were being very difficult!
Knott’s Berry Farm
Last Saturday, we drove to Knott’s Berry Farm down in the LA area. It’s not exactly a farm, but an amusement park. They have a nice kiddie ride area, so Violet had lots of fun on all the rides. Micah and Caleb ventured off for some adult roller coaster fun too. I even tried a few. I was a little hesitant, because, well, I’m getting older and they make me sick. How sad is that? Violet is getting more brave though. We took her on the log water ride with us, which she really liked and wanted to ride again. My little girl is growing up.
