Road Trip!

Headed down to SD. Had to pit stop for some lunch. We actually went to the worst tasting Taco Bell there is. I thought there was a some sort of TB standard, but apparently not. (And the bathrooms were mega nasty too!)

Sophia didn't really care, she loved the tacos just the same.She's just a chip off the ol' block, Max got down and dirty with some nachos bell grande.

County Fair with the Mattos'

Steve called with a great idea to go to the fair. It was a really nice day and so off we went.
Melissa, Sophia and Maya

The best ride at the fair.

Sophia enters the tractor pull.

The boys on some horrifically high, stomach churning ride.

High fives all around!

Max makes a Splash

and luckily there is still water left in the pool. no just kidding, really im glad he uses it, nobody else does. the pool is too friggin cold, it defies global warming, so only some unspoiled person such as he can appreciate the water when the temperature outside is not comparable to that of hell.

Hula

Bowling

Lucas asked if we could go bowling, I thought it was such a fabulous idea. I know Lucas loves to bowl and Sophia had so much fun last time at Ian's party.

Lucas is really good!

Max sends one down the lane. (he's a good bowler too)

Sophia hated the bowling, but loooooved the food.

the California park

Holly had to come out to Fremont and so she popped over for a visit (and then ended up not going to her appt and playing with us the whole time :O) Karen had invited us to meet up with them at the park and so we had a little mini reunion at Kennedy.

Holly and Tristan

It was hot so the kids got ice cream from the ice cream truck.

Sophia and Lucas enjoyed theirs on the wave bench.
Lucas had a missle pop (thats called something else now) that was my favorite when i was a kid.
Sophia had a freaky Dora head on a stick, that looked like something escaped from Coraline.
Neither of the two finished much of their ice creams and it just dribbled down their arms and all over their faces (max ended up eating sophias, he said it was kind of gross).

Happy Birthday Joyce and the Miniature Tigers

It's Joyces bday, instead of a big party, she had everyone come out to see a favorite band of hers...the Miniature Tigers at Cafe du Nord. Max was feelinging big time jet lag, but he had fun.
