Ventura Beach & Santa Barbara Zoo

Ok so I know I haven't posted on here forever so there are going to be a few pictures. I really have no excuse for not posting because I do have a lot of free time on my hands now days. Anyway, here is a not so good picture of Nic and I at Ventura Beach. It's the only one we took so it's going to have a to do. We went there last week Sunday and really enjoyed it. The weather was beautiful but the water was freezing. I just layed out while Nic played football with they guys and was daring and got in the water. We had a really nice time.


This past Saturday, all the wives went to the Santa Barbara zoo. I hadn't been to a zoo forever so it was fun to walk around and see all the animals. It has cooled down here, so it was a little chili, but I guess it was better to walk around in that than in the scorching hot sun. It was a fun little adventure. These are the only pictures I took. Mom, I made sure to take a pictures of the elephants for you. :)
After the zoo, a couple of us ventured into downtown Santa Barbara and walked up and down State St. I absolutely love it there. It's like an outdoor mall, but there are these really cute, old buildings all over the place. We had a really good time and once again I only took this one picture. I really need to be better about taking more pictures of our adventures. It's been fun exploring the area and seeing what it has to offer.

Emmi

So I know i'm a little pathetic, but since we don't have kids yet, Emmi is our little girl. And this is mostly for our parents. Anyway, last night as I was cooking I realized that I hadn't seen Emmi for a while. I looked up and this is what she was doing. I had taken a nap earlier in the day on the couch so my pillow and blanket were already on the couch. I thought it was hilarious that she was all cuddled up under the blanket with her head ont the pillow like a little person! She definately keeps us entertained!

Happy 85th!!

Today is my Grandma Huish's 85 Birthday! I'm sad that I wasn't able to be there because our family planned a Surprise party for her. My Aunt Kathleen and cousin Jocelyn flew in from Arizona and my mom said that they had a lot of people R.S.V.P. So it sounded like it was a big deal. My Grandma definately deserves it. She is the most caring, loving, kind hearted person and I am so lucky to have her as my Grandma. Happy Birthday Grandma! We love and miss you lots!!!
