BRRRRRRR!

It was so fun to have the Berve's in Cali for the week. We usually go up to Montana to see Shaun's cousins, but this year they were able to come down and hang with us last week. Zoe showed them around Disneyland on Tuesday. It was Jeff's first time and Amy, Tasia and Kyler hadn't been since our wedding (6 years ago!!!). We had a blast and got on a lot of rides while we were there. Fast Passes and Baby Swap Passes worked out really well :). On Wednesday we went shopping at the outlets (only 1/3 of them), to Inn and Out for lunch, went to La Brea Tar Pits, and visited Papa and YiaYia and went swimming. At the Tar Pits, Zoe learned that paleontologists search for bones. She was pretty fascinated with watching the paleontologists look for bones in small granules of dirt. This year Zoe has done a total 180 and loved swimming in Papa and YiaYia's pool. She even got in the baby floater and kicked and scooped all over the pool. Hollister was calling Tasia's name, so on Thursday morning we headed to the mall. We shopped for a little while, went to lunch at Chili's (per Kyler's request), and ventured to the Santa Barbara Zoo. My parents joined us at our for dinner that night and the kids got to stay the night with us. Grandma and Grandpa babysat and Shaun and I took the kids to Sky High Sports. It is a warehouse with wall to wall trampolines and even a foam pit to jump into. Tasia and Kyler liked it so much that they wanted to go back Friday night too. On Friday we went and finished up the other 2/3 of the outlets, Panera Bread for lunch (Mmmm...Broccoli/Cheese Soup), and took a quick trip to the beach. Brrrrrrr! It was chilly outside and the water was pretty frigid too. We always enjoy their company and were really bummed that their time here went by so fast. Hopefully they will come again soon! :)
