Spring Break

Over Spring Break we had the opportunity to do some traveling. Our first stop was in Visalia to visit the Hayashi's. The kids did great on the 3 1/2 hour drive, Ryan watched a movie and Paige slept most of the drive. We had a great visit with the Hayashi's and the Nava's and wish that our visits weren't so short and far between but we will take what we can get.

The next morning we were off to Jalama beach (just above Santa Barbara). This was another 4 hour drive and the kids did great. We had just planned to spend one night camping but we were enjoying ourselves so much we extended our stay another night (Mario had to cancel a training he was supposed to go to on Friday but it was worth it to have the extra family time!) We camped with the Fosters who took good care of us and helped out a lot with the kids. We were greatful to the Fosters for sharing their trailer during the day also, thanks guys!

Helping Daddy put up the tent (the boys had planned to sleep in the tent while the girls slept in the van but it was too windy so we all ended up sleeping in the van)

Our "Van Tent" as we called it as to not dissapoint Ryan who was so excited to sleep in a tent


Lounging and eating a cookie... the life

Mario and Bob and a nice perspective of our campsite in relation to the beach. It was gorgeous there, we will definitely be camping there again!

Our Garden

Two weeks ago Mario tackled the challenge of planting a garden. Here is a little photo journey of the process.

The rototiller was a beast


Mario should have worn gloves, ouch!

Big Helper


All planted


And still plenty of yard to play in

We are excited, this is a first attempt at gardening so let's see what grows!
