Summer in California

You already saw Rick's homecoming, Disneyland, and Belle's 18-month California photo-shoot. This is the other stuff.

We had a great time staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Belle enjoyed all the uncle attention.

She kept stubbing her toe #suburbankidproblems

The bros turned one of the spare bedrooms into a "weight room." Belle enjoyed pumping iron with them and then dancing. 

Grandma made us noodles.

 

And some treats.

This is how we'd wake up Jason in the mornings.

Went to the Orange County Fair

 and ate fried Kool-Aid

 and some bacon creations.

 We went on expeditions in the Lake bed

Uncle Ken turned 16.

We celebrated at Farrell's.

And then helped him plan a Sweet Sixteen Fiesta

We got to play at the water park twice.

We made sure to hit up Chuck-E-Cheese

and a couple fast food play-places. 

Of course we visited the beach.

Spent Labor Day at Grandma Great's

And then spent lots of time with cousin Kaia and the Streadbecks.

And then we went home.
