If you're going to San Francisco

We were so fortunate to tag along on yet another business venture of Marc's. Ali, Nyla and Nixon came as well and were probably the biggest highlight for Jude. He loves them. We struggled a little bit on the way home. I forgot my ID and Ali forgot her keys. That made things interesting but it luckily all worked out. Phew!!

We ate at Starbucks every morning! YUM!

 We got a ton of great Golden Gate shots!!

Marc knew of this amazing beach just below the Golden Gate where we got most of these pics. But some of the foolin around down there were my favorites. 

 

                                       

                                        

We also rented a car to head down to Santa Cruz for the day. We had such a great time and the highlight were the Sea lions that you could get so close to. Jude did not want to leave. 

We also made sure to sights like Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower, Lombard St., Union Square (where the kids played and jumped and got all their energy out.) 

 

Last but not least. My little business man!

Labor Day weekend and more

We were so lucky this Labor Day weekend to have Ali and Marriott invite us along on their retreat. Marriott's family has an amazing cabin in Duck Creek. We felt so spoiled spending the weekend there. We also got to play on their amazing toys. We are so grateful to them for this amazing experience. 

Jude hated the swing. NOT! :)

 Loaded up for an adventure. Even Sundance got to come. 

One of the amazing vistas

 Nixon was so good to play with Jude. Such a nice older cousin. He is so lucky and just adores him and followed him around everywhere saying "Sicken" (Nixon)

 Of course the shirts had to come off at one point and Nixon didn't need much convincing. 

 LOVED his motorcycle ride with Daddy. 

Dying over this wrangler Butt

 One of the amazing things about Duck Creek is that it is at the fingertips of so many great places. Lucky for us Zions is one of those wonderful places. 

The amazing tunnel in Zion that blew Jude's mind. 

 Safety first.  

We also went to the Utah State Fair. Marc has loved this since he was a kid and it is always a must do each year when it rolls around. 

 I loved this big reach 

 Pretty shocked he just worked that hard for a fake apple. 

 Forgot all about it when he say the tractor tricycles. 

I love when he finds old toys to entertain him for a minute. 

He swings from anything and anything. The table, high chairs, anything he can grip. It is the coolest thing out there at the moment. (Obviously)

 Broke down. It was too shaggy and I didn't trust anyone else to do it. So Marc and I tag teamed it.

 Pretty dang handsome! 

He is such a goof. He had to wear almost all of my socks this morning. Loved all the colors. Then he found some bright shoes to match. :)
