and a fun time was had by all...

Last week we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium

with Craig, Angie and Lucas.  

We had fun!

Lucas enjoying everything!

At the ocean in Monterey

 At the fish market otherwise known

as restaurant getting fresh fish and chips...

I didn't get a picture of us at Vivolo's

our favorite stop in Monterey, 

or Paris Bakery, another favorite!

While they were here we celebrated Lucas'

second birthday.

Everyone enjoyed their birthday hats!

Luke, Craig, Rylee, Sadie, Angie and Pat

 A new book!

 Luke likes his Elmo cupcake that Angie and I made

- so fun!

Grandpa, Grandma and 4 of the 6 grandkids,

including our new Miss Chloe,

whom we finally met!

 Having fun with Luke!

Chloe gets blessed in our ward.

She looks like she sounded during the blessing - 

not a happy camper!

Such a cute picture of Sam, Linzi,

Rylee, Sadie and Chloe!

 Our trip to Half Moon Bay - the  Altamont -

super green at this time of year... LOVE it!

Barbara's Fish Trap in Half Moon Bay - 

best fish and chips ever!

I even succumbed!

Sadie and Rylee shared a 'pizzapea' aka quesadilla!

 Grandpa, the girls and Sadie's 'brella'

 Finding seashells is SO much fun!

Ryles got a whole jar full!

 Grandpa, Grandma, Rylee and Sadie - 

what a wonderful excursion!

We all had a wonderful time together;

except Rach, unfortunately she had to work.
