Our next big adventure in California was we went to
Solvang. It is this super cute old Dutch town. Lots of neat shops and places to eat.
We had fun going to a few of the shops and having lunch. The shops are not super stroller friendly because they are so small so we left
Jerame and Audrey outside for most of them. In front of one of the shoe stores there was a large wooden clog that the girls thought would be so fun to sit in.
The girls favorite part of the whole day was they each got to pick out a handful of salt water taffy and we got ice cream cones because it was quite a warm day outside. Much warmer than we are use to at my Nana's house. Overall a fun day but we will definitely wait till the kids are older to go back. Here is the one family picture we took the whole time we were on vacation.
When we got home from
Solvang we went out to the garden and did our daily picking. The girls loved doing this. Sydney the least of all because the first day she went out there she got her favorite dress caught on the fence and it put a little whole in her dress. She was not very happy and pretty much avoided the garden the rest of the trip. Kennedy on the other hand loved picking the tomatoes. She was really good at digging through the branches and finding the red ones. i know she is holding a green one in the picture but that was actually on purpose.
Delaney and her tomato basket.
Even Audrey got in on the action. She has our
zucchini and cucumbers.
Our bountiful harvest.
All of
the green tomatoes were for my pregnant craving of fried green tomatoes. My fabulous Nana was so nice and indulged me. She will hate this picture she doesn't like having her picture taken but it is the only one I got of her the whole trip:)
While we cooked in the kitchen the girls ran through the sprinklers. They had so much fun because it was the first time they had done this all summer because our yard is still dirt.
These are some very wet, soggy girls. It was actually quite cool too. Poor Audrey and Kennedy had blue lips when they were all done but boy did they have a good time.
The next day we continued out tradition of picking lemons off of Nana's lemon trees and juicing a ton of them to take home lemon juice. The girls love homemade lemonade and it is so yummy with fresh lemons from Nana's yard.
This pretty much wrapped up our trip. We just love going to CA and spending time with our family. I feel so lucky to have such a great Nana! I love you Nana and we can't wait to come back again soon!!!!
