We are faaaamily.

Shane's parents and aunt came for another spring break visit!
We had 4 days of fun: A tour of the Queen Mary, walks on the beach
(a couple of us may have jumped in for some surfing...),
Easter BBQ, horseshoes in the sand, lots of good food, movies, Phase 10 and Rummikub.

We feel especially proud that we got them out on the kayaks!
They were a bit uneasy about the idea,
but after some tough love they were rowing like champs.
We were excited to take them on a whale watching trip...
but we didn't end up seeing anything! BUMMER.
At least we were able to enjoy a beautiful ocean boat ride.
I don't think they have those in Utah.
A few days later some more out of town family stopped by for a visit!
My cousin Claire, her husband Quin, and their cute son Elliot were down from the
San Fran area and we're so glad we got to see them.
Iver and Elliot are almost exactly the same age and it was their first meeting.
They're 6 months and just learning to sit up by themselves.
Some serious cuteness going on.
It's fun and totally crazy to see these kids with their own kids!
A BIG thanks to Lewis, Toni, and Mike for making the trip to see us crazy Californians!
And thanks to Claire and Quinn for stopping by for some cousin time.
We love having family around! Keep it coming please.

I love the picture where Elliot is eating Iver!! Hilarous. What fun family time. Nice job on the kayaking ladies!

It is neat that so much of your family has ended up in cali relatively close!

Too bad you didn't see anything on the boat trip. That sucks. Fun though that you got to spend time and do fun things with the fam. And just think, soon you will have one of those little babies of your very own with a little stroller! So exciting!
