Ventura

Our friends, the Bonneys, spend a week each year, in their timeshare in Ventura.  They let us tag along.  We stayed at a hotel in Oxnard.  It was a part of California none of us had ever visited.  

Our first day there, they went to a Dodger's game.  Jeff is nice, but not that nice.  We went to some tide pools, instead.  We had a blast.  We saw a lot of crabs and a cool sea slug.  Blake picked it up and made sure I took lots of pictures to show to Josh. 




I love his facial expression.  He's holding a disgustingly slimy blob but is trying his best to smile for the camera.



The kids got to swim in the waves.  The first day was really windy and the waves made me nervous.  Jeff said Blake got knocked over by his first wave but kept going back in.


We took the kids to the Ventura County Fair.  Caleb is taking a picture with his spirit animal.  
He has enormous cow eyes, is happy to meander through the pasture while eating a very limited diet, and is mellow.

We went to some puppy races.  We paid $10 extra for the boys to have 30 minutes in this puppy cuddle party.  

We had dinner at the fair.  It was fun to see what each kid would pick.  Jeff got some enchiladas.  Kyle got chicken strips and fries.  I got a corndog.  Katie got dippin' dots.  They boys got these giant cookies. 


Another beach day!  The waves were more mellow so the big kids got to try boogie boarding.





On our drive home, we stopped at the Redlands Temple to do some baptisms for the dead.
