Katie's Bat Mitzvah!

Berry Picking! 5/25












Blueberry picking was a fun family experience. We discovered that Luke can pick and quickly devour berries! Apparently, he loves them! Yum! Yum! After the berries were boxed and bagged Luke was yearning for another new taste. Check out the video to see what else he tried.

Disneyland & Uncle Terry's Birthday 6/7





We all went to Disneyland for Uncle Terry's Birthday. It took a bit of bribery, but Evan and Noah both rode Space Mountain for the first time. They both loved it!

Quicksilver Miniature Horse Ranch - Solvang!


Quicksilver Miniature Horse Ranch was a lot of fun to visit. Samantha, Noah and Luke had fun petting the horses, but Faith did want any part of it. I think that she was in a bad mood because we had to wake her up.

I was amazed as I stood and watched the Mamas (horses) play with and feed their young colts. It was another reminder of how amazing God is.







Nojoqui Falls Walk, Solvang


We went on a short hike to Nojoqui Falls. At one time, these falls were pretty impressive with a beautiful and substantial swimming hole at itheir base. However, today it was a trickle of water with a mud puddle below. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a little but it still was a diappointment compared to our last time (at least 5 yrs ago).

At the point where you enter a trail, a warning was posted the Mountain Lions had been spoted a couple of weeks prior. The whole time Sam was paranoid and as my dad would say, she stuck to us like white on rice.

Sunnyfields Park in Solvang



Sunnyfield park here we come!! After leaving the miniature horse farm, we headed to one of the coolest parks. The playground boasted make believe castles, towers, gingerbread houses, and so much more. The kids had a blast!
Just in case you are wondering "Solvang" means sunny fields in Danish.
