Fun Exploring

Samuel is having lots of fun learning new things. He now rolls over very proficiently and can move across a room pretty well by rolling over. In fact he just rolled across the floor over to me while I am sitting here writing. He is also discovering how to use his hands to play with toys and is all proud of himself when he does something new.

Christmas with the Dickeys

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the Dickeys! All the Dickey children and grandchildren were there. It made for a lot of fun! See the links above for pictures.

Christmas Vacation!

A few days before Christmas Quinton decided the time was right to go on a vacation. We left Sunday and returned home Tuesday afternoon. Here are some of the highlights of the places we visited.

After spending the night in a Motel 6 in San Simeon, we started off with a tour of Hearst Castle. It's a great big mansion on the coast just North of Morro Bay. The Castle was built back in the early 1920s by Mr. Hearst.

Outside the entrance to the guest house.

If this is just the guest house you can imagine what the main house looked like. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of it.

The famous Neptune pool.

Main dining Hall. The house was decorated for Christmas.

Afterwards we drove over to Morro Bay and stopped in at a very small aquarium. Two of the most interesting exhibits they had were some eels and a cool octopus.

A random fun picture!
