Warderrific Visit

We here in California always look forward to a visit from our Tennessee family. We finally got to seet hem (after two years) this summer, and not surprisingly, the kids hit it off as though no time had passed. We spent some wonderful days together and this fun, sunny and ride-filled evening in Santa Cruz.

L and T watching E and A on the ride.
There they are!
Here's J and T passing the football with Oli in Daddy's shade.
The big kids playing the surf. After Oliver had been almost "eaten" by the ocean, he opted out of the water play. We've got Aurelia, Adrienne, Ezra and Eli from left to right.
Ezra and Oli jumped on the whales after it got too cold to be in the ocean.
Jason and Aurelia also rode the Ferris Wheel.
All the kids rode the Sea Dragons, here's Aurelia and Oliver together.
Aurelia and Adrienne rode the roller coaster together. It was so cute waiting in line with those two giggly girls! Then we all rode the caveman express train ride thing as families, twice and then it was dark and late and time to head home. I'm so glad we made these memories.
