This summer was packed with all kinds of local, low-key fun! So much so that I couldn't keep up with the recording of it all! This is me throwing in *some* of the photos of our summer randomness before it goes by without remembrance!
I'll start with our beach trip with Grandpa Eggie and Uncle Cam! We were fortunate enough to get some extra quality time with Grandpa Eggie this summer since he was stir-crazy from multiple hospital stays!
We made some homemade pretzels for fun!
We BBQ'd a goat head for fun too since Mike has memories eating this delicacy as a child! The kids went nuts over the whole process and were more than delighted to eat the eyeballs and the tongue... I wish I was lying... video coming soon!
We attended many summer movies at our local park! It was actually a highlight of our summer with picnics and treats straight after Daddy came home from work each Wednesday!
Grandpa Eggie's stir-craziness paid off yet again with a trip down to Whittier to see St. Mary's, the church he grew up attending and the school he attended through 8th grade!
We also swung by the Rose Hills mortuary to see some loved ones...
Grandma Blake still sported a birthday card given to her by my grandfather a couple of months back.
And finally, Grandpa Eggie's childhood home in Whittier... much changed of course!
Back to randomness with my summer kick-off... watermelon waffles!
Most days looked like this over the summer...
With the exception of the day Addie got into a serving mood and surprised us with drinks... on a bathroom step-stool... totally her idea and we were so excited to partake in her hospitality!
We spent multiple days at the pottery painting place this summer as well!
Had a small espresso crisis that was so kindly solved by Grandpa Orozco...
And had a lot of special moments like this one... we went to check on the kids about an hour after them being tucked in, only to find that Blake had crept into his sister's room/bed and they had fallen asleep together! :) I'd say these moments are the best!
The End!
