Jannu and the Dirty Dozen

 

Side note: Jannu ran away from home. Or, I should rephrase that: Jannu ran away to try to find us! We left her by herself for just an evening (Friday evening) since our friends who usually watch her were coming back into town the following afternoon. I happened to look at my phone on Sunday morning and read that somehow our neighbor has Jannu. After a phone call to figure everything out, Jannu had escaped to Del Mar Liquor Store, which is close to Highway 1. They picked her up and called my cell phone but didn't get an answer (cell phone service is sketchy up at Big Sur), so someone took her to our house but since we weren't home, they knocked on other neighbors' houses to ask if she belonged to us. It all worked out in the end, but we are lucky that someone picked her up and called us.

Soccer Kicks Off!

Well, we didn't get much enthusiasm for this activity as you can see P's hands behind her back, hands on her hips, no smile...maybe it'll improve after Day 1. We had to bypass the playground to get to the other side of the park, and she wanted to play on the play structure rather than play soccer. At least her daddy was there to give her a little nudge and be by her side for support.

Pfeiffer, Big Sur Camping Trip

We took our first camping trip of 2013. This was P and my first trip to Pfeiffer. It was a beautiful 4-day/3-night adventure with our friends, although a bit windy at times and a little chilly.

We didn't even make it out of the campground! We didn't care. At this stage with P, as long as we're outside enjoying the outdoors, that's all we care about. It's tough because we started out pretty late by the time we  ate breakfast and cleaned up, then we did our little trek, and by then it was late afternoon and our kids were ready for prime meltdown, and eventually their naps.
