Jake, Lindsey, and Katelynn just left this morning. They came out to California to visit us for the weekend we had so much fun with them here.
On Thursday we spent the afternoon at the beach playing in the freezing cold water. Ty and Jake went completly in and went swimming. Landen, Katelynn, and I got in about waist deep and looked for seashells. Lindsey and Porter made sure our stuff didn't blow away. (FYI: Lindsey is 5 months pregnant with a little boy.)
On Friday after Ty got home from school we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. the kids loved to look at the fish and play in the kids area, but I think their favorite part was stamping in their Wild about Otters book. Landen got bored with stamping in the book, so he decided his arm wasn't colorful enough and stamped it.
On Saturday they guys had made plans to go out ocean fishing. Lindsey and I were going to take the kids out whale watching. We thought that they would have so much fun, but they were to small to go on the big boat. So we took them out on the glass bottom boat that went just around the harbor. You really couldn't see anything through the glass except the dirty water and some kelp. The kids had a lot of fun on the boat. If you ask Landen about his boat ride he gets so excited and will tell you all about it. We got to see the Sea Lions and Harbor seals up close, but that was all the wildlife we saw besides the people on the warf the kids loved to wave at. Porter went to, but he enjoyed his afternoon nap on the boat. Sunday we went to church then had a fish fry with the fish Ty and Jake had caught. After that we went to Lovers Point and let the kids play in the sand and water. (By kids we mean Ty, Jake, and Brigette.)
