We are grateful for the men and women (past and present) who serve our country so that we may enjoy the freedom it allows us to have. We never take for granted the time we are ablet to spend as our little family of three, especially since that will be changing in just 3 short months.
We took full advantage of the Memorial holiday and drove up the coast to the Santa Barbara Zoo! Cade had yet to go to the zoo and Eric and I were excited to experience it with him for the first time. We packed a lunch and headed out for a fun day! It was absolutely gorgeous in Santa Barbara and the zoo wasn't very crowded, which was super nice. Cade loved the giraffes and his favorite part of the day was the koi pond. Go figure, take the kid to the zoo with lions and elephants and he likes the pond we can find anywhere!
After the zoo we decided to make a quick stop at the pier for some ice cream and then battled the holiday traffic home. To top off the evening we were treated to dinner at the Gutierrez' new home. Michelle is doing a great job turning this cute little house into a home that will no doubt bless anyone who shares a meal or a visit with their family. We are so grateful for their friendship, love and support. They mean the world to us and it is now fun to watch our boys enjoying playing together. Cade got the biggest kick out of Weston, and when Weston realized he could make Cade laugh it was endless giggles. Too fun! Can't wait for Nolan to join the bunch and for Gabe to get a little older so he can join in the fun too! Thank you Guties!
Here are a few picks from the fun filled day.
