Family Trip

We recently took a quick (read: too short) trip to California to visit with Scott, Amy and the kids. It's so great to see the kids all together. They got along perfectly and enjoyed many, many hours of video games:And because they started looking like zombies...we took them to a great park so they could actually climb trees and play! Here they are....waiting to go back to playing video games:
Scott, Amy, Trey, Hank and I all got a chance to escape the kids for an evening. Scott had a long list of things we could do with our time but we opted for a trip to Trader Joe's for some picnic food:
So that we could go to a Hollywood cemetery to watch Blue Velvet. It got a bit weird during the "Mommy....Mommy!" scenes, but all in all, it was a great time.

After Church on Sunday we hopped over to Pink Taco...just to say that we've been...it felt very Hollywood.


August and Hazel liked the Day of the Dead theme.
Notice that August is being a total boy...and Hazel is just standing there being pretty, holding the hand of a dead guy.
This would have been a funny picture if August was pointing to what he THOUGHT he was pointing to. He kept asking me to take a picture of him pointing to that so I did...then I asked him why he wanted a picture of the belt buckle...he slumped and said, "oh darn! I thought it was his penis!"

Ahhh, California! We miss you already.
