Crescent City, CA

After OM spent a week in Willits while we stay-cationed at home, we drove down to Crescent City, CA to pick them up.

Ginger hooked us up and we got to stay at the excellent Curly Redwood Lodge, right on Hwy 101. 

If you find yourself in Crescent City, stay here! It is awesome.

The Pacific Ocean was a hair colder than the Atlantic Ocean but for OM, an ocean is an ocean and they gleefully played in the chilly water.

Thanks for the fun times Crescent City!

More party pics...

Maya kept it simple with her birthday party too. 

A park and her family.

Yay! 

A giant stuffed dog (named Star Jr.)!! :)

O kept getting presents too! Mashers for him. 

Silly spray ready.

We spent (especially Woody) a good chunk of time cleaning up all of that silly spray. 

Not our best idea ever. 

They had fun though.

At the end of the day she had her dog and her dad. :)

Maya's 7th Birthday

Welcome back to the old blog. :)

I had problems here but I had more problems @ Wordpress. 

So, let's try it again back where we started. 

Starting with Maya Ginger's 7th birthday…

Owen decided to forgo a friend birthday party and invite one friend to Wings and Waves. It worked best to go on Maya's bday so Maya invited one friend too.

First we stopped @ Sesame Donuts to fill their bellies with sugar...

Then we piled in the rental and drove out to McMinnville. The girls watched Mary Poppins and the boys played Minecraft.

We were front of the line to get in. 

And yes, on July 24th the weather required hoodies. (Don't feel bad for me though, it's 90-something today!) 

We had a blast…

then we went home for Costco Pizza (the only pizza my picky girl likes) and chocolate pudding pie, extra chocolatey for my chocoholic. 

Happy Easter

Something's wrong w/ our camera. It's having trouble zooming and focusing but here are a few of little ole us in our new pad...

Animal Ears

For Maya's family week Woody and I went in to make animal ears.

The girl in polka dots is a horse, all pink is a cat.

I guess I don't need to tell you what Woody is.

Pink stripes is a Wolf.

Rainbow ears is a bunny.

Maya is a Hippo and Sunaina a Bunny.

They ended as kitty cats...
