Santa Cruz...round 2

Almost a family photo...

We ate in downtown Santa Cruz at Zach's.  Emily was thrilled, just because of the name!
Yep, that's a BIG leaf.

More HSM

Emily and her true love, Troy!  Lord help me!
Here Kelly and Dana and I had to take the chance to pose with our favorite "Wildcats!"
Kelly, Damon, and Dana.  We laughed more at the movie, I think, than the rest of the audience.  I'm sure the people behind us hated us.  But, it was fun!
Dalton and Hannah...."Friends." :-)

HSM 3 Mania

For my niece Hannah's 10th birthday, a group of us (21 people!) went to see "High School Musical 3."  We had pizza and then went to the mall to wait...and wait....in fact, these pictures are all taken while we were waiting in the line to get in.  We'd had the tickets for weeks, but had to wait off to the side to get in.

Landon and his buddies, Tyler and Cole.
Dana, goes with Tyler and Madison, Diane, Me, and Kelly, who goes with Haylie and Cole.

Grandma and Grandpa and some of the kids.  Birthday girl is the blonde on the right!

Pumpkin Patch in Ramona


We had to drive for an hour, but we were able to find a pumpkin patch in Ramona.  Even though it was a trek from our campsite, it was a fun afternoon full of pumpkins, corn shooting, petting animals, a corn maze, and food!

They thought they had found "The Great Pumpkin!"
The kids in the corn maze.
Landon and me shooting corn.  I won't go into details...let's just say we hit a scarecrow and knocked him around a bit.  And yes...we were the ONLY one's to do that!  :-)
Lorenzo and Duane and the kids.
Monica and I and the random Chevy!

Camping with the Villafrancos

A couple of weeks ago, we did something we have wanted to do for a long time...went camping with our friends Monica and Lorenzo and their kids. The campsite, although technicially in Julian, was nowhere near Julian and left a little, OK A LOT to be desired, but we had a great time.  We laughed a lot and made great memories with our kids, which is what camping is about.  Hope we can go again soon... and this trip will be without a 2nd degree burn or naked strangers in the spa!!!!

The kids by the campfire...it was actually cold!!!
The beginnings of Emily's blister.  She got a 2nd degree burn on her hand which resulted in a week and a half of gauze and blisters and ouchiness!
Duane and Emily
The crew: Landon and Joshua, the little brothers, Emily and Alycia, the big sisters.
Emily- doing a little reader in the Villafranco's tent.  Our kids wanted to play in their tent, and theirs wanted to be in our trailer....we are never happy with what we have, are we???
