Baby Tyson's Blessing
Robyn asked me to bring my camera to the blessing. I love how these turned out. Wow, I wish I would have thought to have someone else taking pictures at Will's....hard to do when your hands are full! Glad we have these

Astalavista California
Our last day in California, we wanted to make it a good one. Save the best for last they say. I think the Monteray Bay Aquarium was a good way to end the trip. Although I was not sure we were going to make it there with the slippery stomaches and sick bugs going around. Katy was practicially in tears when we mentioned that it may be best to stay home. You could definatly tell that she was not feeling 100% but she still had a blast!
I can't say enough great things about this place. I have only been once when I was little but I still remember most of it. Hopefully it made a big impression on Katy as well.
There was so much to see and do, we were having a hard time just trying to squeeze it all in.
Katy found that she enjoyed making a book mark best, and riding in the stroller as well (not usually on the menu for this little girl), but I'm glad she still had fun.
When we got back I think most everyone crashed...and for those who didn't Rachel had reading time.
This house was just the bees knees. I really wish this picture did it better justice!
After dinner we headed down to the beach for smores.
I guess Will wasnt impressed so he promptly fell asleep.
I cant think of a better way to end our trip.

Love me some Carmel
Seeing that Rachey was the birthday girl, we let her decide how she wanted to spend her day. We had the option of going either to Point Lobos State Park or the aquarium. She opted for the more low key day of the park and the beach.
Wow what a sight, this was amazing. I don't recall ever actually going to this park, but I'm so glad we had the chance to. You could turn in your car keys for a set of binoculars, which Katy promptly took charge of. A nature natural for sure.
It felt like there were so many different "worlds" to explore with the trees and the rocky shore as well.
The ocean to me is completely amazing, and I wish I had better access to it. It's so vast and overwhelming to think about. I love it, and am totally afraid of it in the same breath. Today we were friends.
It was a super fun morning, the kids had so much fun exploring.
After we went home for lunch we walked down to the beach to do some more exploring. Katy and I walked up and down the shore looking for the perfect sea shells. Steve and Will went on a drive, so it was just us girls down there.
After a while Katy began to complain of her stomach hurting. I figured it was probably because she was hungry...she is a pretty picky eater and hadn't been eating much this trip.
Boy was I wrong because when we went back to the beach towel to grab something to eat she got sick everywhere. And that was not the first of it. While we were at the beach she threw up about 6 times, and didn't stop once we got home. Poor poor thing. I carried her back to the house...man she is getting big because my arms were jello by the time we got back.
We stayed in our room the rest of the night while the others went out to eat for Rachel's birthday. While everyone was gone Steve was hit by the bug and spent the night in the bathroom. This was all on top of Will having crazy blow outs still (I thought from the pineapple, but at this point I was starting to question whether he had a bug or not).
This was sweet Katy before she was so so sick.
When they returned from dinner I went up to have cake and ice cream with the birthday girl, curtsey of Andrew...he makes a mean funfetty cake!
Our family was not the only ones hit. That night Jon and Tommy got sick and Jane was not feeling so well the following night. Aside from the fact the Davis's told us that after there return Annie had a case of RSV and a double ear infection. I guess it's just a good thing we are so close of friends!
