Summer Fun: July and August

Here's some highlights from the rest of our summer (see next post for first set):
Hiking with Meri at Point Lobos. Half the hike was in the forest, half along the shore. Love. 
Family hike to McWay Falls, Big Sur.



Audrey and Ian watching the Feast of Lanterns pageant, a longtime Pacific Grove tradition. The fireworks afterward were astonishing. 
At the beginning of August, our families descended upon us for Audrey's baptism. We had a lot of fun with them, especially our extra time with the Connors. Here we are paddleboating at the lake behind Dennis the Menace park.
We got Aquarium passes and took our families. Beautiful.
Lizzie and Audrey at the Aquarium.
Another paddleboating picture: McKenna, Ian, Audrey and me.
Declan and Lizzie, four year old cousins.
The kids have done a lot of bike riding here; all three can ride without training wheels now!






A bonfire with church friends at Carmel beach. Great sister time too!
