We had a great trip to SanDiego. The weather was amazing, and Tara had a super house just 1/2 mile from the beach. The girls loved their new friends (4 kids) and I loved to see my friends too! We went to the beach, the zoo, the pool, lego land (for the free 5pm-6pm hr.) and to a great park. Mostly the kids loved to play outside and ride bikes etc. Tara and I had fun painting the kids faces and keeping all 7 of them in sight where ever we went. I can't wait to go back next year!
p.s. Tara is one of my best friends from BYU, we were both BFA painters at the same time and met in NY city :) Here is Lego Land's version of the city

Hey everyone. So, I'm pretty much the worst blogger, but hopefully no one is really checking this anymore. So if you are...your in luck! We are having a great summer so far. We recently returned from an excellent trip to UT where we saw our great friends the Bryners. They had a horrible family wedding to attend (complete with a gift bag of tootsie rolls and gold fish crackers.) But, we had a really fun time seeing them. Lucy and Eve were like 2 peas in a pod, literally. We also saw my great friends Susan and Karen and my splendid family. It was great. Tomorrow we (Katie and girls) are headed to San Diego to visit The Gillberts! We are going to hang out at the beach and the zoo. It is very hot here. Our condo is poorly airconditioned so yesterday my bedroom hit 87 degrees. Woohoo CA! This last week Lucy was in a camp called Camp Invention. They spent 5 hrs. pr. day making things like rockets and cities out of recycled materials. She LOVED it! Carmen, who now is only to be called "grumpy bear" and I spent the week organizing and running errands..fun!
