Finding Bigfoot

So much to Adrian's displeasure, the kids are enthralled with the show "Finding Bigfoot." We've had talks about what makes things controversial and I think it's great that they're critically thinking about topics. Here are some funnies regarding their obsession:

---The show refers to "Sasquatch" often. Colin can't say that word for the life of him. He says "Squash" instead. I love how none if the other kids correct him. Beware of giant squashes in the woods...

---after every episode I ask if they found Bigfoot yet. The answer is always no. Still doesn't phase them. 

--- no matter how many times I tell them the reinactments are not real, they still don't get it. 

---throughout the episodes, the kids see the "photographic evidence" and agree that it's too blurry/ obscure but they still conclude it's Bigfoot. What?!?!

Oh well. I guess it's better than them requesting to watch Sponge Bob or something equally annoying. 

Long Live Bigfoot! 

California Beach Trip

While we were in CA for Travis' funeral we decided to take advantage of the abnormally warm weather and head to the beach! Usually northern CA beaches are cold and windy, but the stars aligned for us that day because it was sunny with a light breeze and 70 degrees! The water was freezing but the kids could care less.

 

The beach we went to was one I'd been to many, many times before. However this time the tide was out and we got to see some amazing things! Leah was absolutely fascinated with the sea anemones and had NO fear of them whatsoever. She went around the rocks sticking her little fingers right in them. One even made a funny noise and squirt her with water...which only prompted her to mimic said squirty noise as she touched the other anemones. 

 The sun was setting and Adrian had the idea to do silhouette shots. 

So we took some of he, Blake and Thomas. 

Then we took some family shots! Can you see all 7 of us??

Right before we left San Jose we took a picture with the fam! Thanks for letting us stay with you Blake & Janet!
