California.
Our true-hearts home.
We got to go for my sister's wedding, and had a blast, as always.
Learning how to walk on the conveyors at the airport
Enjoying the wonders of the Skymall catalogue
Once she mastered the conveyors, they were great entertainment during our layover.
Candy- makes every flight better
We ran a 1/2 Marathon the morning after we got to California.
It was kind of crazy on our part, but so worth it to run 13.1 miles along the coast.
The winners!
(Or the finishers)
I PR'd by like a minute, and Rick was a super star at 1:48
My cheer squad
And got to run in to an old high school friend!
The post-race meal
In-n-Out!!!
We got to spend Father's Day with Rick's family.
Father-Son love
Sophia LOVED spending time with Grandma and Grandpa
Chilling in PJ's with Grandpa
Visiting Grandpa's work in this cool car
She especially loved playing in their pool!!
Doesn't hurt that it was over 100 degrees the whole time.
By day 2, she was quite the brave little swimmer
Favorite game- throwing the turtles down the waterfall
Mom in the pool, retrieving the turtles
Her smile in this picture...
We went to the Palm Springs Air Museum.
Tons of WWII era airplanes.
Here's the B-17.
I just recently read Catch-22, and this was the most interesting part.
Crazy baby-drivers...
She's so Top Gun...
Baby SOS
Inside the B-17
I didn't understand what this statue was supposed to be of...
...pretty sure it's just for posing pictures like this.
Lunch and some quick sandcastle building
I'm good for climbing on I guess...
We went to the Getty Villa in Malibu.
One of my favorite places.
Like Romans...in Roman-times...
The architecture is modeled after a real villa in Pompeii.
It's fantastic.
Throwing pennies in the water
Checking out the statues
Sophia is a connoisseur of the abstract
The gardens- my favorite part
She wanted to go swimming SO bad
Penny tossing!
And running in the long hallways
Beautiful
I told Rick that we should have a house with big long halls like this, just so she can run like she was.
After the museum, we went down the road to the beach.
Sophia still thinking about the art...
...then realizing we're at the beach!! Yay!
She was so excited to see the ocean!
Until she felt how cold it was...
...and ran away crying.
All better now
Totally Californian.
Got to build, build, build
My cheesy little girl
Pre-wedding festivities at Kris & Heidi's pool
Recreating some childhood memories at the Horizon View Club
Amazing fun to take Sophia there, me and Katie have been coming since we were 3.
Those two. All tuckered out.
At the temple
The beautiful couple
All the 'Junior Mints'
Daddy-daughter dance
The reception was just gorgeous- on the rooftops of LA
Sophia had a blast dancing the night away until WAY after bedtime
Sophia kept saying "Heidi so pretty"
What an awesome wedding!
Some light reading before boarding.
My little pilot
Trying to be creative during the 'no electronics' period of the flight
LEGO plane for the win!
And might I add, glow sticks are a BIG hit??
Another great trip
