In July, we went to Southern California. I love it there and wish we could live there. Maybe someday. But for now...some pictures to tide us over.

No, it's not Disneyland. It's the SD Zoo. One of my favorite places. We saw a cheetah on a leash, just taking a walk with a zookeeper...that was really cool. After that, Andrew said, "I want a cheetah for a pet." Sure thing, kiddo. We also got an amazing view of the polar bear swimming (and a 50-year-old woman laughing at the polar bear like she was on some kind of narcotic) and an up close view of the lions taking a nap.



Team Mom! We even have matching shirts. So nerdy, but we really didn't plan it. I wish people would mistake us as twins, but we don't really look alike. :)

 

At President and Sister Clark's house. They were super generous and great hosts. And they have a zipline in their backyard. Pretty fantastic.





Building a castle. The boys LOVE the beach.



And Henry loves the camera. Remember when we thought he was going to be a toothless wonder? This summer has been fruitful for his mouth.



Until next time, my friends.

And I don't like how this is becoming a tradition in my posts, but all the things I DIDN'T take pictures of:

• Fun barbecue at Pres. and Sis. Clark's house with them reminiscing about their mission...including some awesome pictures of Justin wearing a little boy's shirt...wow.
• Hanging with the Dockendorfs and the Clarks. Such cool people.
• Seeing Hna. Pidwerbecki and new husband and eating an omelet the size of my second child.
• The boys and I driving for 9 hours and everyone still staying relatively happy!! (it really was a miracle)
• Chatting with Camille ALL DAY LONG. We should really live by each other. :)
• Pointing out every road that I've ever traveled with Molly and her family to Justin, who sincerely tried to look interested.
• Getting sunburned on one arm because we were stuck in L.A. traffic for two hours.
