A Holiday at the Sea

On to the Ashton Family visit! We were delighted to have Zach's parents and brother out for a week. We got in a couple trips to the beach and even taught them how to play Settlers. Best of all, Zach was able to finagle his schedule so that he was home the whole week. Once again, I think the pictures will give you a better idea of the visit than my rambling could do.

Uncle Nolan carries O. to the beach on an unusually cold and rainy day.
Owen chased a seagull halfway down the beach before turning back to laugh.

We took a day trip to Solvang

A lovely meal back home
Sea Monster Mantis
Almost immediately after we got to Santa Monica, Owen got brutalized by a wave.
He was distraught.
Before departing, the Ashtons took Owen to Toys R Us for a shopping spree.
He really got into his new toys.

    My goodness...I'm just getting around to seeing this - my bad! I must admit I was anxiously awaiting our turn and I guess I forgot it. It's Monday, the students come back tomorrow, I'm tired, and your posting of pictures just made me smile. We had such a wonderful visit - y'all are a sweet sweet family....thanks for making precious memories with us. We're blessed to call you family! Much love!

    Lovely Anna, great pictures of your time with Zach's family. I'm thrilled that you are so close to them. Surely you will end up in the SE?!!
    Love you, Mom
