Adventures

Lucas and Rich have been hitting the adventure trail over the last couple of weekends. Lucas is finally old enough to walk a good portion and really enjoy what nature has to offer.

Their first adventure was to Torrey Pines State Park - they were in search of the Tesoro bird and his treasure...Lucas loved it. He wore his adventure hat (aka Santa hat) and is still talking about it.

Their second adventure was to Lake Calaveras...they hiked to go find the majic trout fish and to see Skull Mountain.

Owen and I will get to join the next hike to climb Skull Mountain :)

Here are some pictures - Rich will add video from his new Flip video camara soon

Christmas Day

I think the pictures tell it all - Lucas loved every minute of it. He loved his gifts, as well as, helping others with theirs. Owen enjoyed hanging on the floor and getting in to things he shouldn't. We missed my mom who wasn't able to make it -but sent some videos home to her.

The only evening picture we have is Lucas cracking the traditional Christmas cracker - my turkey did not defrost (afte 5 days in the fridge - frozen solid) and I couldn't find an open grocery store - so our Christmas dinner was a bit of a bust - but we had each other and that is what Christmas is all about!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning was spent wrapping more presents, setting up Grandpa Skip's childhood train set around the tree and reading books. After lunch we headed to the Bowling Alley for a new family tradition of bowling on Christmas Eve. (An activity Rich remembers doing with his Grandfather.) We had a quiet Christmas Eve evening of homemade pizza, hot chocolate, making sure the reindeer and Santa had food when they stopped by and the traditional puzzle.

Quick Trip to Legoland

We buddied up with Charlie and family for a Pre-Christmas trip to Legoland - It was crowded and we were all tired - but still had a good time. Check out the last picture - they are rescuing Santa off of a SF building - Lucas loved it. Owen was there too, he slept most of the time.
