I hope you all had a wonderful 4th! We sure did-we were invited to a parade by Bray's compeers in the morning, and then a bbq at their house following. The kiddos liked the parade a lot-they waved their little flags with vigor (Madeline even 'accidentally' hit Hobbes!) and watched all the cool cars and trucks,etc go by. The bbq was lovely-their house is in a part of Santa Barbara that is the same neighborhood as Oprah's house-which means it's gorgeous! They are lovely people, and have grandchildren, so they were well-equipped for kiddos. We didn't do any fireworks really (mainly due to laws in Cali because of all the fires) but we took a walk downtown that evening, and saw the big ones over the harbor!
Tomorrow is Hobbes' 3rd birthday-can you believe it? It seems fitting we celebrate here, as this was his birthplace!! We had to celebrate today, as Bray's schedule is packed tomorrow. We decided on a jungle theme since Hobbes loves Curious George right now, and we made cookies (I mean, do you expect 3 people to eat an entire cake?:)) and opened presents...his favorite was the train set from Ama and Ampa! Then we all went to Wall-E this afternoon. Hobbes sat through the entire movie-and it turns out, he is just like his Daddy-he comments and laughs loudly through the whole thing! Madeline only lasted about 20 minutes, so we ended up leaving to go walk on the beach (which I enjoyed immensely!). We hope to go to the zoo before Charity leaves on Thursday, and that will be the finishing touches for the birthday bash! We love our boy, and miss you all! Enjoy the pics!
