we headed to santa barbara for labor day weekend to visit my parents. we definitely lucked out with the gorgeous weather and spent most of our time hanging out in the backyard in our bathing suits - not something we EVER do in san francisco. i think we all had a wonderful time...our only wish was that we could have stayed longer!
 |
| on the road with our iPad mini wedged between the front seats |
 |
| quick stop for lunch before finishing up the long drive |
 |
| everyone was eager to see the newest member of the hull family, uco! |
 |
| they were given the task of watering the dry patches in the yard |
 |
| but they couldn't resist a little water fight |
 |
| don't worry - after a few minutes, the hose was shut off given the water shortage |
 |
| what? we're not allowed to waste water by making a mud pit?! |
 |
| giving his truck a good wash |
 |
| fueling up on yogurt and berries |
 |
| refining their golden tans |
 |
| three generations of ladies went shopping on state street…first stop, nordy's! |
 |
| liv was happy at sephora once she got to try on some pink gloss |
 |
| no shopping excursion is complete without a stop for pastries |
 |
she was such a trooper during the 3 hour outing,
which included maternity clothes shopping and lots of potty breaks |
 |
meanwhile, the boys were at home watching football
and eating leftover pizza (…in their pajamas) |
 |
| uco got jealous of how much attention the truck was getting |
 |
| when i loaded all our pictures, 50% were of uco (and i didn't take them!) |
 |
| hmmm, somebody's in love |
 |
| action shot! |
 |
| irresistable |
 |
an amazing dinner at los agaves put john and i in a food coma,
but these two were full of beans |
 |
| i guess endless baskets of chips and salsa give them a big boost of energy |
 |
| on our way home from dinner, we made a quick stop at the park |
 |
| they love practicing their balance |
 |
| and playing on new and exciting play structures |
 |
| just relaxin' in the sun |
 |
| puppy breath |
 |
| breakfast at the beach |
 |
| yogurt, granola and fruit |
 |
| digging for pineapple |
 |
| sunday stroll to check out the local art |
 |
| mesmerized |
 |
| horsie? yes, please! |
 |
| the ladies |
 |
| the fellas |
 |
| it's not a vacation if there's no ice cream |
 |
| cookies and cream |
 |
| they split a single scoop and it was still huge! |
 |
| john and i shared a chocolate dipped waffle cone…it's vacation, right? |
 |
| time to head up the street to check out the neighbor's donkeys |
 |
| taking a closer look |
 |
| twins |
 |
| picking some lemons in the backyard with papa bob |
 |
| best buddies |
 |
| family dinner on the patio |
 |
| playing outside in the dirt without shoes or pants meant showers every evening |
 |
| grandma susie would be proud of their squeegee skills |
 |
| these three giggle machines snuggled up to watch a daniel the tiger episode before bed |
 |
| good-bye santa barbara - see you soon! |
 |
| meanwhile bones had a thrilling labor day at camp |
 |
| he did get to spend the holiday eating hot dogs so no complaints from him! |
