Santa Cruz!!

This is where my mom grew up and where my "going to gramma's house" was. Then in 1990 gramma moved in with us once we moved to California from washington.
So going to the boardwalk where I have so many fond memories is fun. Ask Brad, i was absolutely giddy and like a child again!! The Giant Dipper is the most fun roller coaster ever!!!
So we spent an hour on the beach and then it was time for the rides!! Brad was able to joing us for 5 days while we were there. So we made sure we did Santa Cruz when he could enjoy it.


























We had a great 2 and a half weeks!!!

Just Dance

When we hear music we dance. No matter where. Even if it is in the middle of 6 flags.

Discovery Kingdom

We got to go to 6 flags!! It was so fun and all the kiddos were amazing! They have a whole thomas the train section that Hunter loved. Also the older kiddos got to go on bigger rides too.
Hunter got to see penquins, dolphins and killer whale, sharks and sting rays. It was AWESOME!!

Uncle Steve's bday and Ghiredelli and other things

While we were there we celebrated uncle Steve's bday and went to the ghiradelli chocolate outlet. YUM!












Our goal this vacation was to get Gookie to walk. She is perfectly able, but REFUSES to do so. I think by the end we got her to take 5 steps. But we have to be clapping and singing to get her to do so. We are home now and she is refusing to even stand!! I think this girl with need some PT and OT! Here are pictures of Gookie and her cousin, Spencer.




As you can see by this video we tried really hard. And Gookie is crazy!! I love her!!
