Hey Everybody!!!

We just got back from our FABULOUS vacation to Cayucous California. We spent the fourth of July with Troy's family. Troy's Dad Mike and Mike's wife Cynthia and Cynthia's Son Adam and Adam's Girlfriend Emilia. We spent the majority of our time hanging out with Troy's sister Pepper and her family. We had a Blast. As you can tell from the pictures we had one great sunny day and then foggy the rest. Cayucous is in Central California so it is hit or miss sometimes on the weather. It is always cold in the morning, but it never gets above like 75. Can't complain. The Girls love love loved the ocean and skin boarding and boogie boarding. The boys loved the sand. Sam also thought that the sand tasted great. He can now live a normal healthy life he has now eaten dirt. We got to watch the parade which is a bigger deal now then it was 9 years ago when we went for the first time. They had like 25000 in a town that usually has 3000. They are surprised by the turn out every year. But after all the rest of the people left we had the beach practically to ourselves and we enjoyed it even when the sun was hiding behind that clouds or when the fog was out. We also took the kids to see the Elephant Seals. They are HUGE!!!! Mikayla enjoyed watching them move up and down the beach. Owen liked to see the boys fight. They make the funniest noises. Sam just wanted to get in there and jump on them. He does that you know. We are glad to be home and sleeping in our own beds. I do think that we have been cured of ever wanting to drive to California again until Sam gets to be A LOT older. Well I have a TON to unpack. Take care all. Thank you again to Troy's dad for inviting us and for all the dinners they were awesome! And to Pep and Marc for hanging out with us, we loved it!!!
