camping.

Our first camping trip of the year was spent at Doheny with the Platt family. It was just one night but a fun-filled one indeed! Some of our fun included-

riding bikes,

building a campfire,

eating s'mores,

cozing up by the campfire,

hanging with Helen,

still building a campfire,

having snacks in the pop-up trailer,

C'mon, give him a break.  He puts fires out.  

Entertainment

in the

tent.

We can't wait to go camping again!

montecito.

Back in April (I know), our family had the opportunity to visit some dear friends in Montecito. Friends who rented a breathtaking mansion and opened it up to their children, grandchildren and us to enjoy for a few days! Well, enjoyed it, we did!! Not only was it a fun get-away for our family, but we got to hang out with our friends who we don't get to see often enough. Here are some snip-its of our fun. lots of jumping... lots of swimming... rented surreys on East Beach... beach day at Leadbetter Beach... the crew that made it possible... thank you! hitching a ride to dinner in downtown Montecito... taking a stroll in the Santa Barbara Zoo... gorillas at the Santa Barbara Zoo... gelato.... We can wait to visit Montecito again!
