Jack and Arlos visit 2014

Jack and Arlo stayed with us in Cambria for almost the whole month of June. It allowed time for family, a few days in Yosemite together and of course just hanging out in Cambria.

                                     
Arlo and Jack are very interested in Geology so we went digging for cinnabar geodes on the 46 Hwy.

                                                  Arlo made friends with Lexie

                                      And went to wood carving with Mike

                             We enjoyed lots of games together, especially canasta

       We enjoyed a beach party with Kelly and Brians friends at Cayucos. It was great for buggy boarding

                                      Bixby and his friend enjoyed the drums

                                                Cooking hot dogs and Bix enjoying watermelon

                                               
                                                            Jack loves playing in the waves

                                   

                             
                                  Bixby led the drum circle while his dad played guitar

                          Jack found a stick insect  and there is lots of boy play in the garden

We find time for fishing on San Simeon pier

                                        I love just watching the boys explore and play

                                                 Some cooking and eating.

And a last walk in our neighborhood to watch the deer at sunset

                                              And pick some blackberries

                                    And one last sleepover for all 3 boys

                                             Jack discovers frogs at a local lagoon

                                     So many good beaches and hikes to explore

                                  Arlo and Jack celebrated their birthdays a little early at their great grandparents house.
                                My parents, Nana Gwen and Granddad Oscar now live here in Cambria
