VC Fair

Here are some pictures from our day at the VC fair!



Can you tell Craig was ready to go home :)
I love the pictures with Smoky. I have one with Aubrey the first year she went, I love to see the comparisons! 2010

I needed one with Evvy too!

Disneyland Trip 1

One of the perks of Craig's company are the annual Disneyland trips, they even offer discounted tickets for extended family! Craig's parent's and little brother, and Melissa and my Cousin Chelsea all came with us and it was a blast! Evelyn was only a few months when we went last time and is now at an age where she can actually enjoy it. Our first stop was to see the princesses and neither of the girls were thrilled, in fact Aubrey started to cry! Other than that it we had a great day, first hitting up Disneyland and then Ca Adventure. Craig's parents ended up taking Aubrey and Evvy home so we could get in some big rides!

Buzz lightyear!

This ride had different scents as you rode through!

Arizona

Over the weekend the girls and I made a trip to Arizona for a small family reunion on my mom's side. Craig had to work so Amanda and my mom were going to carpool with me, but at the last minute Melissa decided to come along, so they ended up following behind us. We hit some heavy traffic but got there safely Friday night. It was so nice to see everyone. This reunion was at my aunt and uncles place in Munds Park, which I always love visiting! It also worked out great since most of the houses there are vacation homes and one of their neighbors were gracious enough to let us stay at their place. The weekend was just spent relaxing and hanging out, but it was great! We were there until Monday morning and then we headed home and brought my cousin Chelsea home with us. She's here until Sunday when my Aunt Laura and Uncle Brian pick her up on their way to San Francisco.

Beach

We decided to make it a beach day since it was so nice at our house, since we haven't had any truly hot days this summer. The crazy thing about Ventura though is that you can drive 15 minutes in any direction and the weather is usually completely different! So driving 7 miles to the pier completely changed the weather. It was way cooler and kinda overcast, not good beach weather, but we made the best of it and the girls had fun. They pretended to swim in the sand, made sand castles, and I couldn't keep the sand outta Evelyn's mouth!

The girls had to go down this crazy slide on our way to the car!
