At the Charles Paddock Zoo with my friend's daughter. (By the way, she's ten. Madalyn is SEVEN.)
It was so nice and cool -- chilly, even -- in the evenings for the first week or so we were there. This is on the back porch swing. Madalyn's not asleep but Eliza is.
One of Eliza's favorite activities was filching drinks from Grandma's water bottles.
Waiting for Daddy to finish shopping at Big Dogs.
WAY too excited about going to the beach.
Hypothermia? HA! Hypothermia's for wussies!
Okay, I ran out of continent. Now what? P.S., You will never take my pacifier until you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Hangin' out in San Luis after our day at the beach.

Beach Day, Part Deux: Digging to China
Our little encampment. We had so much fun our first day at the beach I ran out and bought all this stuff so we could go back a second day and spend even more time there.
Burying himself.
Ta-da!

Finally, on our last full day in California: Three-and-a-half weeks of non-stop excitement catches up with Eliza.
