Cali goodbyes

First of all, the Mooneys were gracious enough to have a wedding mid-July, allowing my parents to see all of their good friends. Thanks guys, you are awesome!

Then I got to go to a family party and see the cool kids. Big cousin Will gave me some travel tips.

Gianna tested out my travel readiness, making sure I wasn't afraid of heights.

Mom and Sparrow had some quality cheese time.

And then I played Boys II Men's "Its So Hard to Say Goodbye" on our way out. Miss you all!

More Cousin fun

All the cousins liked having morning book club meetings

But that didn't mean calm was the norm. Sibling take downs are probably normal, though Lucas was pretty entranced.

But cousin take downs happened too. Yay for a great family vacay!

Yummy

Sparrow powered through her ice cream, but would have been just as content with broccoli

Sequoia like the ice cream, but wasn't overly excited about it

Lucas, on the other hand, was a fan

Sliding Tutorial

Why would I be wandering through concrete tubes? To get to the park of course!

My cousin Sequoia was so excited that she almost ran out of the frame!

Now, before you slide you have to get amped up. I chose to pretend I was a pirate captain - "Smiley Face". Arrrrgh.

First get on the top of the slide, like this roller version. Be sure to spread those legs for optimal fun.

Maintain concentration and that leg angle should stay at a good 75+ degrees.

Thats how you slide, Richmond style. Booooooyah!

Aquarium Battle: Sparrow

So I was just hanging with Pops at the Aquarium looking at some sweet swimmers...

When cuz Sparrow decided to get in on the action. Alright, lady, its on!

I mounted my pink seahorse and prepared for battle.

Unfortunately she had a sea-steed of her own! Maybe battling is the wrong idea.

Hugs!
