VACATION!!!

So, we have returned from a wonderful, much deserved weeklong vacation that took us all over California. We went from here to Livermore to Redding to Lake Shasta to stay on a Houseboat for 4 days, then to Yosemite (affectionately now pronounced in the family as Yo-sehm-ite) and after a few days there, home again! While out and about we visited the Jelly Belly Factory (Greg's favorite stop!!) and that was something to see...did you know that Jelly Belly makes Costco's fruit snacks? We had an awesome time and of course I have lots of pictures and videos...but only the fun and appropriate ones get posted here =)



Here are some pictures for you to enjoy from our vacation!!



Karyl relaxing after our first long stretch of driving...watching the DVD below...

Ah, our buddy Diego....without him, we wouldn't have had such wonderful bedtime success!
She is seriously the best traveling toddler EVER!!! And, that little doodle pad saved our lives!
Daddy and baby at Daddy's favorite place...the Jelly Belly Factory!!
What kid doesn't love a GIANT Jelly Bean??


This was our home away from home for 4 days =) Beautiful isn't it??



Karyl driving the houseboat...I don't think she passed the training though.



Mommy and Karyl on the speedboat...watching everyone else waterski.


Shh...don't tell my doctor I was on the speedboat...apparently it's frowned upon for pregnant women!!



Hey...you....are you takin' my picture??

Karyl and daddy waiting for the rest of us to empty our bladders =)

Our little family at Tunnel View in Yosemite with Half Dome behind us...the best view in the park!

Where's Karyl? There she is!!

All I can say is obviously I didn't take this picture...At least I don't look pregnant from this angle!

After all that travel time, still smiling!!

Sounds FUN!! We just got back from St. George, UT for 4 days. Our toddler was really good in the car too. I think it was a mini miracle! See ya soon!
