BROOKE, JAKE, BAYLA & EVAN: September 2010

Wednesday, September 08, 2010

In July we went to California for a family reunion on my mom's side. We stayed in Solvang at a timeshare with my mommy, stepdad, and sisters Brittany and Kathryn, Britt's kids Jared, Victoria, and Camille, and Kathryn's friend John. The town of Solvang is so cute or as Jake says "a woman's dream town and a man's nightmare" Ü It's the cutest little Danish town in the U.S. We had fun going to all the quaint shops and we even went on a little hike up to see a waterfall one day. We spent a lot of time in the pool. We went one day to Avila Beach - but it was so windy that we didn't stay very long, but Bayla had fun playing in the sand and cold water while we were there. We spent a lot of time in Santa Maria where my uncle Jim lives. They did a fun park day where we played games and the kids enjoyed the jump house. Bayla was thinking she was such a big girl in there with all the 2nd cousins. We had a fabulous BBQ of Tri-Tip and linguica sausage and yummy salads and dips and the works! One night we did pizza and karaoke. My sisters got me to go up with them and sing one song. It's a good thing I am comfortable with all my relatives because I don't SING. We got Jake to go up with my cousin's husband and sing Johnny Be Good. Jake has a good voice so I wasn't embarrassed for him like he was probably embarrassed for me. Here are some fun pictures from that trip.
