Happy Dad Day!

Erin: Brooks, tell me about Dad.

Brooks: I love him this much (arms out) like airplane wings.

Erin: How come you love him so much?

Brooks: Um, kind of he takes me to Dan's and the toy store, and he chases me and tickles me, and he plays cheese monster with me (don't ask.)

Erin: Dad really loves you doesn't he?

Brooks: Yeah, he does.

Happy Father's Day Bry. We love you more than you'll ever know.

We've been Here...and There . . .

And apparently anywhere but the blogosphere. So here is a little recap of fun little vaca we had.

We went to California to share a weekend with some great friends. The weather was wonderful, the beach was a blast and the company was great. Here are a few photos of our fabulous time in Cali. Thank you Shawn and Kevin for hosting us all at your beautiful home!

The beach was a huge hi!. He is still talking about the wave that broke over his head, every day as a matter of fact. He wants me to tell complete strangers how yucky it tasted. He couldn't get enough of the beach. He is so excited to go back again.

We also went to the Long Beach Aquarium. It was so fun. I loved the jellyfish and Brooks loved playing on the whale that shoots water out the blow-hole. For some reason, the real marine life couldn't compare to their plastic counterparts.

Then we spent Sunday in the park. I couldn't get over these purple blossoms. Such a fun, little family trip. Far too fast. I am looking forward to a return visit in August. California, here we come!
