Meet me at the Pacific...

We met Heidi in California for some much needed sunshine. Her time here was such a blast, but it came and went to fast.

Otis LOVES Owen and Sadie, or "O-way" and "She-she" as he refers to them. He constantly calls out for "Oooo-waaayy" until Owen appears. I'm afraid he's going to sink into a depression now that his little buddy is back on the other side of the country.

Otis loves Sadie...maybe a little too much. His hugs could get a little aggressive

Love.this.girl.

Sadie also enjoyed her first feast of sand

Best buddies

It's amazing how long a bucket of sand and water can entertain these two

Yes, I did squeeze my big pregnant body into this old fluorescent wetsuit.

I think Heidi just wanted to get a picture next to me to make her look good. How could I be embarrassed in this wet suit when the colors so beautifully matched my boogie board?

Thanks to the Disney Give a Day, we all volunteered at the aquarium and got free passes to Disney Land. As you can see from this picture, this kids were thrilled to be there.

This car ride might have been the highlight of Otie's life so far. Grandpa even snuck back into the front of the line to go for round 2.

Taking a peek back to make sure "O-way" was still there

First and foremost, we missed Betsy in California. But the trip didn't end there, Heidi came to Utah for another week. More pictures to come...
