Fun in Fortuna

The girls last day of school was June 5th. We left right after school got out to Fortuna to visit Chris' parents, Bob and Pam. It was Dylan's first visit to Grandpa and Grandma's house and his longest drive in the car. He is still not a traveler. We had to stop 8 times on the trip over. He did better on the way home since he slept almost to Clearlake.

We went to the coast and the weather was so beautiful. These birds were neat to watch fly by. Follow the leader.

Dylan and Daddy at the beach. His favorite - shoulder rides.

Soph had fun writing in the sand with a stick. It's the simple things in life.

And even though Addison had jeans on, it didn't stop her from going in the water. See those two sea lions out there?

There was a group of about 6 sea lions playing in the waves right in front of us. They got so close and they were watching us. It was cool to see that in the WILD.

And Miss Maggie loves going to the beach. She digs and digs in the sand.

Then we went to the zoo. Here is the spider monkeys. They have the coolest tails.

These little monkeys were so cute. They had the cutest little tongues and faces.

Bill, the monkey, past away, and they had a memorial area.

Then after the zoo, we came home and had smores. Yummy!

Then the next day we went to the redwoods and had a picnic. Those trees are so beautiful.

After we ate, we went down to the Eel River and soaked our feet.

Chris was the only one brave enough to swim. It was COLD. Sophia and Addison got in up to their thighs. I only got in up to my knees. Dylan had a nap with Grandma and Grandpa while we were in the river. We had a great time with them, I just wish they lived a little closer, or Dylan liked to travel more. But we will definitely be back up again this summer.
