Rocky and I went home to my parent's house in California for a week. In one week we crammed in a wedding, 2 baptisms, 4 birthdays, 2 beach trips, a hike, and obviously, A LOT of good memories.
Emmy and Madeleine were helping grandma cook- I took this picture because the girls are in my sister Lizzy's and my old aprons that we used to wear in the kitchen. It's a blast to have the next generation around doing many of the same things I and my sisters used to do.
Like playing jewelry dress up :)
BEACH TRIP #1
Me and Jennifer
Grandma and Rocky
Rock loved being at the beach as long as he didn't get too close to the waves, they made him really really nervous.

He sat down in the water with his pants on.
This beach had everything! Including tide pools with tons of star fish and sea enenemies. I have no idea how to spell that, but they suction your toes, and that can be a little creepy but also very entertaining.
Check out the erosion of the California coast! My Aunt who lives within walking distance from this beach has named this "Roman Beach"because these foundations look like Roman pillars.
A pond from farther up creates a stream that flows in to the ocean. The kids loved playing in it.

Hiking in Sunol- This is called Little Yosemite. My family hiked this and a lot more of the Sunol wilderness 10 years ago when I was in high school- it was great to come back and see it. I think it is one of the prettiest places to be.
Rocky plopped down here and threw in about 100 rocks into the stream.
Lunch with Grandma
On the drive back from Sunol there is this impressive Water Temple that we always see but have never stopped, we finally did, and it was awesome. Should have done it a while ago!
BEACH TRIP #2
Ramona's 1 year birthday!
Rocky is eyeing those waves... he doesn't want anything to do with them.
There is a lot of drift wood on this beach. Some previous beach goers made an awesome fort that was a little bit of shelter from the wind. Sometimes there's nothing colder than a day at the beach in Northern California.
Ladies in Leggings.
Grandpa is a good cuddle buddy.
Abigail and Collin- Cousin Buddies on their baptism day.
Lots of very cool pictures cuzzin. Thanx for sharing. :)
