Colleen's Special Week & Austin's Ocean Camp

On Monday morning, Patrick took Laura & Nathan to the airport while I dropped Austin off for his week at Ocean Explorer's Camp. When I picked him up later that day, he was marked with bright sunblock and grinning. He had an awesome time.

During Colleen's special week (since both Austin & Amelia were in activities), she wanted to start a quilt. So we gathered the fabric, spent some time cutting, and then got her to the machine as fast as possible.

She wanted to eat lunch outside in the warmth of the sun but the shade of the tree.

Homesteader pool day with friends!

Colleen and I attended a baby shower with a magnificent view of the Santa Barbara harbor

On Wednesday we spent some time with friends at the beach...

and then we drove to a different beach to visit friends who were camping there for the week. We went on a long hike along the coastal bluffs. When we returned, we watched the swallows that had nested all over the campsite buildings.

They have adult-sized hiking boots now! They just keep growing.

A few weeks after Austin's Ocean Explorer's camp, the facilitators sent links to the parents to photos of the daily activities. It was fun to see photos to match the stories Austin had told us all week. He was able to go kayaking, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and lots of ocean swimming.
