Santa Barbara October visit

Last weekend Josie and I drove to SB. We left on Thursday around 3:30 and arrived around 9pm. We had a great drive. The girls were so excited to see each other. Josie slept on the floor in Katie's room. It was sunny and warm all weekend. 

 

Karen and Katie were off of school on Friday. We went on a couple errands and then to the pumpkin patch. The maze was closed and the hayride was too crowded so after a bit we left and decided to go back another time. We went home for lunch and then to the beach b/c it was so hot out. Katie and I went boogie boarding with wet suits and had fun in the waves. Josie is a little scared of the waves but went in briefly. She had more fun digging in the sand. 

Saturday the girls wanted to play at home for a good chunk of the morning instead of going back to the beach. They had their own water fun. We then took them to the park across from the beach and walked over to the carousel. No one else was there and the girls had fun riding it twice.

 

Tucked into a tunnel with plastic side.

 

 Back to the pumpkin patch.

 

Josie took two of the pics.

We went through the maze about 6 or 7 times. The winning time was 3min 15sec. Somehow Katie could remember (most of the time) the basic way through the maze. Even by the last time I had no idea which way to turn. Video of one of our attempts. A few missed turns.

Sunday we went to church and Josie helped in the two years old class with Katie, Luke & Karen. I sat in the service by myself. My parents were out of town so didn't see them on this trip. We left after lunch around 1:30 and got home at 7. Josie was a great traveller both ways.
