on vacation

Sorry it's been awhile since the last post. We've been spending a few weeks on vacation. Last week we went "camping" in the Santa Cruz mountains. I put camping in quotes because we were in the motorhome... with full hook-ups... cable TV... and Wi-Fi. Since we canceled our cable a few weeks ago the kids thought they had died and gone to heaven with full access to the Disney Channel. When the rain came down we were not soaking wet like I've experienced in a tent... for days on end... with a pesky little brother and his yappy dog. Instead we were luxuriously housed in the box on wheels... together... for days on end... in a tiny little space... Yet somehow the kids still managed an incredible amount of injuries and a ridiculous ability to get grime in every nook and cranny of their little bodies... even Hayden had dirt under her fingernails! In spite of the rain and the close quarters we got out to Roaring Camp and the Boardwalk. We all enjoyed the train ride up the mountain and back again and Jason especially enjoyed the miniature golf at the Boardwalk (2 hole in ones... or is it holes in one?). It's a short drive and beautiful scenery so we'll definitely go again... maybe next time with a tent!Anybody seen the movie "Stand by Me"? Don't look it up mom, you don't want to know what we did here...
Ever nurse a baby on an 1880's steam train in the rain? Fun times!
The golf pros! Check out Cam in her pink "train girl" hat.. this girl loves to dress up and wear hats.
We played enough skeeball to win tickets and turn them in for vampire teeth. Everybody's got to have a set of vampire teeth!
