Happy Birthday Connor!

Can you feel the anticipation of birthday cake with this picture or what?! We celebrated Connor's 3rd birthday on Saturday at the park around the corner from our house. Before we got it started, it was 'snowing ashes.' No joke. But it cleared up, the sun came out, and Connor had a blast with the kids. All his friends were there. We had a bounce house, plus the playground - complete with sand. Perfect! Then the following day we went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and he road on all his favorite rides. What a birthday!

3 Loons on Vacation

We just got back from 9 days exploring up North. What a great time. We camped in Fortuna, CA - just south of Eureka. Spent 4 days in a little cabin and 2 days in our tent. Connor had a great time and found new friends at the campground every day. They had a playground (that we practically lived at when we were at the campground) and a pool. Lots of day trips. Got to see "Avenue of the Giants" that was incredible, elk next to our car in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, tooled around Eureka and did the harbor cruise, even crossed paths with a few breweries :-) Then we hit Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for the 4th and saw fireworks. Have to say that we're glad to be back home in our own beds though. But what a great vacation!
