THE MYSTERY SPOT


We had so much fun checking out this spot where gravity wasn't quite right.  It was the perfect way to end our trip to Monterey!

Boardwalk


We had a blast going on the rides at the boardwalk. And ended our night with fried twinkies and funnel cake.  YUMMY!

Santa Cruz Beach


On our way to the boardwalk we hung out at the beach.  Makaid kept following Maison and running away from the tide but eventually it got the best of him and he ended up getting drenched.  Good thing I had stashed an extra set of clothes! 

Hot Tub and LemonsKarrissa's parents were renting a beach house in Capitola so we hung out there.  Right next to the hot tub was a lemon tree so Bri decided to cut them up and have a sour face contest.

New Brighton Beach


The weather wasn't quite warm enough for swimming but that didn't stop Maison and Wyatt.  Oh ya check out the huge crab the boys found.

Berry Picking
We went strawberry picking just outside of Santa Cruz. The kids had so much fun seeing who could find the best strawberries. Over the next two days we ate a whole flat of them. 

Tide Pool in Monterey


We found the perfect little spot to hunt for shells and crabs.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

We spent the whole day at the aquarium.  The kids couldn't enough.

Bri Gets Gangsta
Maison wanted Bri to tag his name on the wall.  It turned out so good and Brian had so much fun!

Sneaky BoyKaid loves sneaking into the cupboards! He seems to think our kitchen is a jungle gym.

Hannah Montana GirlsKarrissa and I took Malayia and Monroe to see the Hannah Montana movie.  We were able to bust out these Hannah Montana dresses just in time for the show. We all loved the movie and some mother/daughter bonding!

Easter in IdahoThe kids were a little suspicious about how the Easter Bunny got into our hotel room.

Roasting Mellows in Idaho


One of the kids favorite things to do in Idaho is roast mellows over the fire pit.
