summer break in cali

i love my job for a lot of reasons. i love the work i do. i also love the time off from work. every year we get a summer break around the 4th of july. it's the perfect time for a vacation. i stayed in town for the first few days of the break to get some things done and spent the rest of the week in california.

we took the kids swimming. kenzie was supposed to be asleep, but since she wasn't we brought her in for a few minutes.

when my parents were in town, they took the kids to a jump center. they loved it and couldn't wait to go back.

they obviously had fun

we played tennis. i haven't played at all this summer. i need to get out and play more.

we celebrated the 4th with a parade, fun at the park, BBQ, poppers, and fireworks.

the break was really fun and went by way too fast. lucky for me i actually have today and tomorrow off to celebrate pioneer day.
