We all had a fantastic time visiting Gramma Christie and Grandad Brent at their home on the Preserve in Carmel Valley, CA. We crammed a lot into a week: we went horseback riding with Carl and Kat herding cattle and barrel racing. Maglet wasn't too sure about it and felt like she was falling off so she only went once.
We went swimming every day. The kids took swimming lessons and had a great time building obstacle courses on the water slide. Even though we tried to be diligent with the sunscreen Maglet still got very burned on her cheeks.
We spent a day at the Monterey Aquarium and a nearby beach. I think everyone's favorite attraction at the aquarium was the seahorse exhibit and the leafy seahorses taking the fascinating award. Fantastic aquarium! We then relaxed and burn off energy at the beach having water fights, digging sand chairs, playing frisbee, finding sand crab and having an all around great time.
We spent several hours looking through tide pools and watching the seal. We saw a hawk, seal, crab and sea star. Fun to be exploring near the ocean again!
We hiked around the Cypress Grove Trail. It is one of the only (2 or 3 I can't remember now) places in the world where there are still Cypress Trees. We saw several deer on this walk. Beautiful!
Thank you Gramma Christie and Grandad Brent for such a fun and memorable time with you! Can't wait to be with you again!
