Skiing

What started out as a high overcast day ended up bluebird! And.... we still got good(ish) parking! (my new secondary indicator of a good day) Pictured with Sam is his buddy Parker.

Sugar and Pa's visit

So we've been having tons of fun AND we've gotten lots of stuff done too. I've gotten tons of help with some household chores plus we got a tree and decorated for Christmas. Flat daddy has been a big part of all our fun... if we can't have the real guy here, we'll make do with his flat alter ego!

Up to the mountain

We got up to the mountain, got our passes, and our locker. Ben got suited up to take a quick run, but unfortunately, this was as far as he got. They closed the bunny run a few minutes early due to wind. We were so close! Oh well, that will happen when you get up to the mountain too late in the day... Lucky for us, we will be up there plenty more!

Monterey Bay Aquarium

The aquarium was fantastic! We saw jellyfish and seahorses... the boys both touched a bat ray... and we all loved the penguins, the octopus, and the leaf dragon seahorses.

Monday Nov 22

Today we went to UCSC to meet Lindsey for lunch. The first pic is outside her office on campus. We also walked a bit of the wooded campus and saw the paths and bridges the students take to class. Interesting fact: the UCSC mascot is the banana slug!
Next we went back down to the boardwalk.... mom wanted to make a movie and the kids wanted to play miniature golf. So we did. After a 'quick' 18 holes of pirate- themed golf, we took a drive to Capitola. After a quick errand, more scenic driving and a yummy stop at Kelly's bakery, we headed home.
You can see what a day like that did to Sam! Of course, he was in there for a time out... but he really needed the rest.
