Ben and Brianne's Wedding - Santa Rosa, CA

We had an AMAZING time at Little Brother Ben and new sister Brianne's wedding up in Santa Rosa. Everything was perfect, what a great trip and what a perfect couple! The wedding all took place inside the Rancho Wikiup, a former ranch and stable converted to a spa and gardens up in Santa Rosa. Beautiful. We stayed at the Sandman and had a great stay - a very nice little motel in Santa Rosa. Bela had a totally and completely great time with her little cousin Mackenzie. A cousin Bela's age - a match made in heaven! We miss you already Mackenzie! After the wedding we spent fathers day taking the scenic route down the California coast on US 1. Talk about a change in scenery - dry arid Wine country, to lush redwood forest, to windy rolling meadows, to rocky cliff seashore. Just awesome.

Gifts for Friends

Bela donated these toys to mommy's friends at work who are going to send them down south of the border where they are coveted items. Bela is so sweet and unselfish, daddy would have never given up a stuffed animal growing up - in fact he still has several!

Camping Mirror Lake State Park

Mom, Dad and the girls went camping for Daddy's birthday in June. Bela had a blast exploring, investigating tent worms, and helping daddy with the fire. Zoe was not a dirt eater this time and had a great time. The highlight was going to the drive-in to watch night at the museum. The lowlight was thinking that the upside down house was not scary for kids - Bela screamed the whole time! Zoe of course loved it. A little to spooky.

Included here are some videos of the girls at the beach - Bela Boo was busy saving the tadpoles and rescuing them from their tidepool traps and setting them free!
