Fourth of July weekend




We had a super fun time with Uncle Greg while he visited over the Fourth of July weekend. We spent a day at Torrey Pines Beach which was a bit crowded and the water was quite nippy, but still a gorgeous beach day. Ashlyn has moved on to the eating sand stage. She literally was pounding fistfull sand loads into her mouth. She communicated her frustration with me with big screeches as I tried to push her sandy hand away from her mouth.




































On the evening of the Fourth of July we hiked up the small mountain that is located behind our condo. It's a short, steep hike that has a great view of the surrounding area. From the top we could see 3 different firework displays. I'm not sure we'll do it again soon as hiking in the dark probably isn't the safest way to go while carrying 2 children, but Jaedyn LOVED it and Ashlyn was a trooper despite being up waaaaaay past her bedtime.










We went to la casa de los Gharst's for the 4th of July. We had a grand bb-q with delicious food and desserts that were magnificently scrumptious. (Uncle Greg pretty much ate the biggest piece of cake I have ever seen in my life) We ended our day there with some gargantuan sparklers which Greg Gharst was determined to light (they were being stubborn) even if he had to use his blow torch!




























And relaxing at the Crocketts.......a little Wii playing, some corn shucking and Greg Brill the expert babysitter.







Apparently the Brill family plays Wii tennis better with their tongues sticking out.
