Torrey Hills Fire

The fire started around noon on Sunday the 27th. It was burning on the other side of this hill - oh so close to us!!! My neighbors were all super relaxed while I took out my pictures & packed an overnight bag!! It ended up burning about 100 acres. They brought in helicopters that dropped water and the fixed wing huge planes that dropped red fire retardant stuff. Since no one was hurt and no houses burnt down, I can say... it was very cool to have a free air-show in the backyard. It was truly amazing how talented these pilots are. I am so thankful for how fast everyone responded to this!

Flower Fields

We had a fun day at the Carlsbad Flower Fields. It was surprisingly kid friendly & absolutely beautiful!

Reggie & Family in town

Oh how we love Uncle Reg, Auntie Em, Ethan & Kyle. And oh how we wish they didn't have to go home!!! EVER! We had a glorious time hanging with the fam this last week. We went to the Wild Animal Park, dinner at Pappachinos, lunch at CPK (of course!), had a fantastic-wonderful-fabulous-scrumdalicious dinner at "Mama's" house, played football and soccer at the park, and so on and so forth. We love you guys so very much and can't wait to see you super soon.
