We were sitting eating dinner a few weeks ago, when Willey realized the next day was his dads 50th birthday, he asked me to get online to see about getting tickets so we could surprise him, and it would have been like 2000 dollars, so we decided to wait 2 weeks, and then fly out and surprise them, the boys were sooo excited to go on an airplane and see their nana and papa!! Willey and I were looking forward to some cooler weather!! So off we went and everything went surprisingly well. The boys loved being at the airport and riding on the moving walking lane and watching all the planes land and take off. We didn't get to Willits until late Thursday night, but the boys were troopers and still really excited to get there. Well our secret that we were coming had gotten blown the night before (unknown to us) but it was still good to be there. The boys had so much fun with Nana and Papas dog "bubblegum" but I am not sure that he felt the same way. They basically tormented the poor dog until he would run and hide!! Probably the best thing that happened while we were there was the food fight that Papa decided to start with Ryan. We had finished eating dinner outside, and Papa was still feeding Zack (of course!!) and Ryan said he wanted more mashed potatoes, so papa got a spoon full, and turned to Ryan and splat, threw it right on his face!!! Ryan just had this look like, Oh now its on!! And that was it, potatoes began flying for about the next 15 minutes. It was so funny and such a good memory for the boys!!
So glad we were able to go and relax and have so much fun and make so many good memories for the boys!!
Then on Monday, we decided to go up to the coast, its only about 30 mins away, but its all switchbacks, and neither me or Josh handle those very well, but we made it without any throw up!! The boys love being at the ocean, and this coast is really rocky and they loved going exploring and looking at all the tide pools that were around. It was just a beautiful day and so relaxing!!
So glad we were able to go and relax and have so much fun and make so many good memories for the boys!!

First of all, you look FABULOUS! Seriously- fabulous. Hair, legs, tummy, boobs, the works. :) (Are we still close enough for me to comment like that?? wink) Secondly, what a freaking awesome trip! Two weeks is still spontaneous, and you are officially the coolest parents for doing it. And third (thirdly?), James - my clean freak - was pretty concerned about the "messy" he saw in your first cluster of pics. lol. Looks like fun. Great post! It's great to "see" you!
PS. It's funny that you went there to go somewhere cooler. It looks warm and wonderful to me. Though it's certainly not been this cold until about 10pm last night, it is totally snowing here. Not sticking, and mostly rain. But yes- snow! I know. We had hot cocoa (healthy?!) for breakfast. Brrr!
PS#2. If you want to come somewhere super fall-esque, come here. We have the room! ;)
