Santa Cruz Trip

We spent the weekend in Santa Cruz because Andrew had a dentist appointment on Friday. (He's had the same dentist since he was a kid.) We went to a cool Farmer's market at Cabrillo College.

Isabella got a big old ear of corn

and a humongous balloon horse from the balloon guy.

(You can tell she's related to the person who was told to go buy a balloon at the circus and came back with a twenty dollar elephant instead of the $1.50 Mickey Mouse kind.)

Then we went to Watsonville and picked strawberries.

I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but Anderson is double fisting berries plus his cheeks are packed full. He will probably be very annoyed some day because he had to wear his sister's pink hat because we couldn't find his red one.

The next day at Rio Del Mar Beach, we made Isabella into a sand mermaid

Anderson liked running after the waves

and playing with Agnes.

I was very excited when a little critter came close to shore. I think he thought the body surfers were seals because they were wearing all black wetsuits.

We bought a bunch of veggies while in Santa Cruz. Because they grow so much in that area, it's really cheap. They had 20 artichokes for $1 and crazy sales like that.

Even though it's really hot here, we were still glad to be home. The kids both took a three hour nap today because we're still recuperating from all of the running around we did in Santa Cruz.
