The Lake with Special Friends

Last week we were able to spend a couple days with our special friends the Southards at Steve's parents' lake house at the Ozarks.  Even though they moved over eight months ago, we picked up right from where we left off (we got to see them in May too).  The kiddos had a great time playing together and the adults enjoyed hanging out and talking like we used to.  We miss having them around and will take any opportunity to spend time with them when possible.

On a side note, we are still trying to pack things into the summer that we have left.  We have started t-ball/baseball with some neighbor friends which is so much fun!

Still visiting parks frequently as well!!!

Sunny San Diego

Last week we got back from a fantastic vacation in San Diego.  The week was spent with Grammy, Larry, Auntie Amber, Uncle Chad, and Bubba (cousin Brandon).  We stayed in a rental home in Mission Beach which was one block from the bay and three blocks from the ocean.  It was perfect.  I could go on and on about all we did...building sand castles, jumping waves, eating delicious food, going to SeaWorld, kayaking the sea caves, shopping, golfing Coronado and Torrey Pines (at least for Zack!), s'mores on the patio, and of course flying on an airplane for the first time for Ava and Reese.  The pictures tell it all.  However, the best part of the vacation was making memories with family we love.
