R&R Trip Part 2 California

Hello again, as promised here some pics from the second part of our trip to California. We got in Saturday and then on Sunday went over to Simon and Kristines for a little cookout to hang out with the kids and Sarah and Joel were there too. It was so nice to see everyone and spend sometime with them. Miles is really great with all the kids.

Then on Monday we went on the yacht and to see if we could see any whales. Unfortunitly we didnt see anything to exciting, except a few seals and sea lions, and lots and lots of water. Either way though its really nice to get out on the boat for some fresh air . When we anchored down for lunch, Miles and I actually went a took a nap down below, and surprisingly it was very relaxing. I was sure I might get sick from the rocking but it helped me fall asleep, which I am sure that Miles appreciated because he was the one that I would have probably gotten sick on.


Then on Tuesday we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo with Margret, Sarah, Jonas and Julianna. It is a really nice little zoo, and I actually got to feed a giraffe which is awesome. And surprisingly giraffes are really pretty even up close, they have really long eye lashes. Anyway it was alot of fun and we even got to ride the little train that goes around the park. Jonas was so excited about it, I am not even sure he realized that there were animals there! :) The next was Wednesday and we came home. We spent the last few days hanging out at our house and playing with the new Wii system that we bought. Which is so much fun by the way for any of you who might be in the market. All in all we had a great time together, not long enough of course, but in 8 short months he will be home and we can do it all again. Please keep Miles in your thoughts and prayers.
