Weekend Visitors

We had some very special visitors this weekend!

My super-amazing-dance-a-licious sister Kelli drove up from LA on Friday to spend the weekend with us. We LOVED having her here! I think Blake enjoyed having a bigger audience to entertain too.

Saturday, 1.22.11, we ventured to the coast. Rustin drove, while the three of us snoozed...it was perfect! We spent the day at Natural Bridges State Beach (one of our favs) in Santa Cruz. Kel and I had good intentions of boogie boarding, but as we shivered on the beach we quickly changed our minds.

This was Blake's favorite perch...kinda freaked me out a bit.

We explored the tide pools, watched the surfers brave the tsunami waves, and
Kelli was 'King of the World' - until she almost got swallowed by a giant wave.

Sunday, 1.23.11, Church was cut short because of a power outage. Woo hoo for one hour church! Hee hee.

Mr. Handsome, before the lights went out.

After church we had more out of town visitors! Grandpa Tomkinson and Uncle Mark came to spend the afternoon.
This was the first time both were meeting Blake.

Thanks for driving down to visit us!

Monday, 1.24.11, we slept in, lounged, and played with Blaker Boy. 
Another perfect day. But it was also the day we said to goodbye to Aunt Kelli.

Uuuugh! I love this girl! She is so amazingly talented, kind, compassionate, and a great example to those around her.
Thanks for coming to visit us Kelli - and putting up with us - we had a blast!!
