Trip to Ojai Part 1

I just got back from a lovely time in my favorite place. Eli and I flew out to see Brad and Crystal last Saturday and were treated to a wonderful visit with great company and tasty food. Here are some pics I took with my camera. I'll post another part tomorrow with all the pics Braddy took with with his. He got some great shots.

Here's Eli on the way out. He was pretty unimpressed with the whole airplane thing. I thought he would be more captivated by the noises and window looking-out-of but he mostly wanted to run around the plane and terrorize everyone. And airplane terrorism is frowned upon these days.

Here's Auntie/Grandma Crystal with Zayd and Eli. More of this to come from Braddy's pics, but I thought I'd give you a little preview of the fun we had at Arroyo Verde park in Ventura.

Here's Uncle Brad and Eli. I know it's a little dark but I had to get one in now of Brad and Eli. Eli became Brad's little shadow while we were there. He would run after him every time Braddy made a move yelling "BRAAAAAAA" which was funny in and of itself.

More of this good time to come too but I just had to share this pic. Crystal filled up this little tub they had on the patio and Eli and Zayd played (au natural) in it for quite a while. It was pretty funny...although I realized more than ever how mammoth my son is when he got in the tub and half the water poured out.

Beth and I met up for lunch and had a great time catching up. We were best friends way back in the day and have been able to stay in touch all these years. She works as a labor and delivery nurse at a hospital in Ventura so it was fun to pick her brain about baby related topics.
