We have really taken advantage of the long (warm!) summer days. Someone recently said to me that when raising kids, the days are long and the years are short. Isn't that the truth! We are trying to seize every moment (good and bad).
So how are we spending our long days? Playing!
At the end of July, we took a day trip to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa in Monterey. While Grandpa and Uncle played golf at Pebble Beach (and quite well, I might add), the rest of us went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We knew Brock would be excited but we had NO idea Cade would too. He kept pointing to the fish and saying "ooooh". Brock especially liked the big tank. The boys rallied for several hours before crashing out.
That shiny background is fish swimming overhead. Cade's favorite part.

In early August, we met some friends in Truckee for a long weekend of fun. The mountains are incredibly beautiful and reminded me that we need to go more often - and yes, I say this after spending the first 24 hours bed ridden with altitude sickness. It was that fun!

Nature at its finest.
When we are not adventuring out of town, we spend the rest of the days enjoying our beautiful city. Whether it be lounging in the yard, playing at the park, or hanging out with friends, this summer is going by too fast but at least we are making the most of our days.
Our guys love to read (yay!)
Mildly successful at potty training. We have a loooong way to go.
