Escaping the Heat

Truth be told, it's been a very mild summer, with very few days in the 'intolerable' category. However, by about the 2nd week of triple digit temps in July, I took Zach and escaped to cooler climates -- up to Monterey.

We hung out with my parents, Keri, Tanner, Andrew, Isaac, Shel, Sam & Meghan for two whole weeks where the temp never got above 70 (and rarely above 65).

Chad came up with us for the first weekend and we took Zach to check out the Monterey Aquarium. He was sporting his terribly cute golf hat and got quite a few comments





Chad left us on Monday and we spent the rest of our trip just hanging out with the family..

We went to the playground with other kids from Michelle's ward and Zach got his first chance to play on the swings (which he loved)



We went up to Apple and had lunch with Uncle Sam



Tanner went with us over to the Elkhorn Slough where we had a lovely little walk and saw some pretty cool birds





Mostly, though we just hung out with the cousins.
