Southern California

Chris, Lucy and I just got back from a long weekend in southern California visiting Chris' brother Kevin, his wife April and their new baby Elizabeth who is 8 weeks old. We did lots of fun things with them...we went to Disney's California Adventure Friday night to go trick-or-treating, and Lucy got to meet Minnie and Mickey Mouse! She thought that was very cool. We also went to San Diego's Wild Animal Park and visited a pumpkin patch. Lucy got some good use out of her ladybug Hall-o-ween costume! We loved spending time with them and meeting their pretty little girl. We also loved getting to have a short visit with an old friend of mine from high school. Our fun came to an end though Sunday night when we found out that our flight was so delayed that we would miss our connection, and every flight that night was overbooked because of the holiday weekend. We tried to go standby on two different flights, but didn't get on those flights. So we ended up having to take the first flight out the next morning. We were all so tired! But the trip was worth it. We had a great time! Here are some photos from the weekend.

Boating

Some friends from work invited us out with them on their boat about a month ago when it was still kind of warm in Portland! We all had fun, I even got to water ski a little bit! Lucy especially had fun with the wind whipping through her hair and wearing her cute little life jacket. Here are some photos and a video from that night.

Fun Times & Gymboree

Here are some cute pics of our little ham Lucy hammin' it up and playing with some friends at Gymboree.

Fishing Trip

We had a great time a couple of weeks ago in Maupin, OR, a little town on the Deschutes River. We stayed in a great lodge with our friends Dianna, Aaron and their baby Julia who just turned one this week! Chris got to try fishing a little bit and although they didn't catch anything, we all had a lot of fun!! Here are some photos from that trip.

Lucy loves to sing to Daisy

Here is Lucy singing her renditions of Ring around the Rosies and Happy Birthday to Daisy Dog. Daisy seems thrilled :)
