Jennings Visit
The Jennings came down to visit for a week. We tried to keep them busy, ice skating, hiking, bonfire, beach, surfing and hanging out. Here we all took a hike down to the Cove, hoping for some surf for the dads, no luck.
Lunch at Rubios turned into some very wet kids
We went to Ft. McArthur and took a little tour
Here is the communication room, then we went down into the tunnels. The guide didn’t hold back and really scared the girls taking about ghosts and animals that could be in the tunnels
We had one ify beach day, and tried to take advantage of it. Kids went in the ocean and got wet!
Took a little hike in our neighborhood
It was nice to catch up and hang out with Adam, Katie, Eli and Lyla

Santa Ynez Ranch House
5 families gathered at the Double J Ranch for 4 days with 10 adults 13 kids. I was a little nervous having so many people in the same quarters for so long. Results- AWESOME! It was the best 4 days. The Ranch was more than perfect, scenic, 5 acres of gated land, words cannot describe all the wonderful things this place has to offer! Throughout the day no one wanted to leave the house, there was so much to do and the kids stayed busy all day. This sign was at the entrance to the house. Love it.
The pool was beautiful as was the weather
