Horse Camp

We signed Zoe up to do a 3 day horse camp in Santa Ynez with her best friend, Claire.  Claire is part of the pony club and has been riding for a while now (she's so good!) I thought this would be a perfect way to see if Zoe truly had an interest in riding regularly...and it's no surprise that she LOVES it.  Her happy face the first day was priceless.  This camp is amazing - the kids get there at 8:30 and stay until 1:30.  They learn how to tack, clean, ride, etc.

Mimene and Fanfan Visit

Our first house guests in our new place were Mimene and Fanfan! The kids were very excited to see both of them at once - it had been a long time!  We  celebrated Mimene's birthday weekend by spending time at the beach and the zoo.  :)

Trying to get these 4 to all smile and look at the camera was almost impossible!

Men being men.

We hope you enjoyed your birthday, Mimene!

4th of July

We celebrated 4th of July at Stowe Park - a local park down the street from our new place that has a lot of local events.  The kids were able to celebrate with their besties, Charlotte and Sam.

My handsome boys

Yes - they had a train there.  Of course Maddox was in heaven.

Feels SO good to be back!
