Having fun with Family

We were very busy while Tamara and Marissa were visiting.  One thing we really needed to do was plant the garden.  The kids were a bigger help then I thought they would be.  Marissa wanted to get dirty...Dane couldn't help but be dirty.

Marissa loved collecting the eggs everyday. Here she is holding on to 5 eggs!

We had so much fun at the beach.  I got this idea off of pinterest for bringing a shower curtain to the beach.  It was awesome.  The kids loved having their own pool right there in the sand.

Cousin tackle!

It was a windy day at the beach but my parents and the kids took shelter in the tent.  It is so much fun to live where we live.  Dane just loves going to the beach.  Why is it that I only ever come here with company.  We should really go at least once a week!

We decided to head down to the zoo to check out the animals.  Dane and Marissa loved bunny town.  I think there favorite animal was the tiger.  A close second was the gofer that was popping its head out at the pig exhibit.

My Dad was a real sport.  Next time we take the stroller I am going to check the tires to make sure there is air in them.  Lets just say that this wasn't a light load.

Here is my beautiful twin sister!

After the zoo we headed over the Sylvester's for hamburgers.  Eric met us on his lunch break.  We were also celebrating Bryan and Lara's birthdays (minus them sadly).  

We have been working on getting the house put together for me to start my farm school pre school this fall.  Eric and Dane were hard at work putting up the fence.

Then we took a break and rented a surryes so we could act like tourists in Morro Bay.  It has hard convincing my parents to do it but in the end they loved it!

...and so did the kids!

I bought a bunch of silly string after new years this last January.  I had about 12 bottles of it so we decided to have a fight.

Exhausted after so much fun!

We love having friends and family visit.  We promise we will show you a good time if you come see us.
