San Luis Obispo Summer Trip- PART I

Before anything else, I want to show this video of Carter roaring at Claire, it's hilarious:


OK, with that out of the way, we can move on: earlier this summer, toward late June or so, we took a trip up to see her brother Jake and his girlfriend Amy. We had a great time hanging out with them walking around town, taking a trip to the beach, hitting up the childrens' museum, eating well, etc. We look forward to another trip up there, especially since we want to check out the new business they just started. More on that later. Since they're are so many photos, I'm going to do two different posts, one now and one later.

Night 1- After Jake and Amy got off work, we went downtown to the Farmer's Market, grabbed some wraps and then walked around. Great weather and lots of interesting sights and sounds.

Apparently this was when Carter and Sarah saw a ghost (look at Sarah's face):

Carter thought this place looked intriguing:

I thought this car looked great. I overexposed the shot which left it a bit fuzzy but I love this shot anyway:

Carter has so much fun he makes other kids feel depressed in comparison:

Young boys' heads explode when they see train tables like this. There was actually a lot less violence than I had predicted given the numerous lads and the limited resources available. Oh, the sociological studies one could undertake in a situation like this:

I dedicate this photo to Ned, who knows why, and to Gary and all my "Rat Boys" of which Carter is apparently now the newest member:

Actually, it didn't take me that long since I've given up on Photoshopping all the pics unless they're really important and instead am using Picasa to do quick edits, uploads and then embed the images. It takes time, but I'm still WAY behind on all of the photos we've taken this summer.

What a great post! I must say your family wins for "cutest entire family." Also, the picture where you say Carter has so much fun he makes other kids feel depressed, made me laugh SOO hard. Love that kid! He has the most expressive face!

LOVE, LOVE all the pictures, fun stuff...but have to say the video of Carter roaring at Claire and her cracking up is GREAT! Ella would have been crying and scared...only "Claire-Bear" love the video!

Carter is hillarious... actually they both are.
And there must be a lot of "slo" kids in San Luis Obispo for them to dedicate an entire museum just for them... how sad! :)
