Natural Bridges

We took a bike ride from Santa Cruz to Natural Bridges beach.  More tide pools and fun in the sand.

Tyler and Cole decided to create a dam to block the water that was running along the beach.

Pirate Golf

During President's week we tried to make the most of the rainy days.  We went over to the Boardwalk for some Pirate miniature golf.

 The sea lions were having a little party of their own!

Afterward we stopped at the Marine musuem.

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Half Moon Bay

We headed out to Half Moon Bay with our neighbors to check out the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.  The tide was a bit high for us to see the tide pools, but it didn't hold us back!

Two Front Teeth

Cole lost his two front teeth in two days!

Day in San Francisco

 We headed out to San Francisco to check out the Fortune Cookie Factory where they give "tours".  It turned out to be in a small little alley and was a tiny little shop.  The "tour" was stepping in and seeing a little old woman folding the cookies into the fortune cookie shape and getting a little sample.  Glad we weren't spending the whole day there!

We ended up meeting up with some friends there and we all took a boat tour of the bay.  It was fun to see the Golden Gate Bridge up close!

Tyler and Cole still love taking a ride on the cable cars!

And, of course, a stop at the Ghirardelli ice cream shop!

Christmas in Disneyland

Since we got season passes for Disneyland this year, we decided we had to see the park with all the Christmas decorations up.  We headed down on Jan. 2 to bring in our New Year and extend our Christmas!  We surprised Tyler and Cole and woke them up about 4:30am!  As we were driving we saw snow in the hills and Cole insisted that I take a picture!

 

Geoff's sister, Keri, and our niece, Anya decided to go down as well, so we got to hang out together!

 

We also saw our friends, the Paigas there.  They were kind enough to get the boys on the coveted Radiator Racers ride!

 

 Nolan and Tyler in front of a snowy Mater!

 

 Small world was completely changed for Christmas. Glad we got to check it out!

 

 

 Space mountain with Aunt Keri and Anya.  Tyler has a hilarious pose!

 

 

 

 California Screamin' with Anya and Keri.  Cole's only about a half inch away from riding this!

 

We ran into our friends, the Prices, too!

 

Grizzly River Rapids.  Cole was the getting drenched winner!

 Cole was being silly with his new sweatshirt.  Strangers seemed to think he was a park attraction!
