Spring Break, 2011!

Executive Decision #1,567 (for the week):

Get out of town during Spring Break!

So we went to Morro Bay, one of our favorite get aways, for a few days. As always, never long enough, but then, that's the secret to wanting to go back there soon.

We all had a blast, and here are some photos from Jennifer's camera. More to come...

I woke up this morning feeling like I just had to shake the dust of EG off my feet and get out of town. So we loaded up the minivan (no small feat, that) and headed to San Francisco. Destination: The California Academy of Science. It was a glorious day, tons of sunshine and relative warmth. We ended up becoming members as we are going to be returning. The boys were fascinated by tropical butterflies, albino alligators, African penguins, sharks and rays and so much more. While well past tired by day's end, it was a great day trip and we all had fun.

Boys in Bike!

So now we all have up-to-date bicycles, and we've gone on a few short rides together. More to come up with the weather warming up more and more. Can't wait! Enjoy these in the meantime.

Actually, I think it was Dylan's idea this day to go to the Zoo. Any chance he has to meet up with his cousins, he is more than likely to take. Max had a good time too, loving the animals (he can imitate a fish, a zebra, a lion, a dinosaur and so many more!), loving the walking and having a good time as we all did.

Here are some photos taken Christmas morning, 2010. Not sure why it took so long to get them posted, but hey, it happens. Anyway, we had a nice Christmas morning, and the boys were delighted with all Santa and family left for them.
