Casey and the kids have been very creative with their Lego city. Here is one of their buildings...it is an In 'n' Out. The first picture is the outside of the building with the outside eating area. In the second picture you can clearly see workers at the grill making burgers, the cashier helping customers, and the drive thru window.

Well, our Jasper looks quite different after his bath and cut. The groomer had to shave him because he was a mess! We can't wait until the hair grows back long and wavy and he looks like the dog we fell in love with. When Corey saw him for the first time after his grooming, he said "what did she do...that's not my dog."

Jasper has arrived at his new home. He is so well behaved and fun! He is getting a bath tomorrow and when his hair grows back in he will look even more adorable.

Ok, so this has been two days in a row that one of my cats have been acting peculiar. Tonight I found Ziggy playing with a tennis ball. I am not even sure where he found a tennis ball.

A fun day...first the fish hatchery

...then the Santa Barbara zoo...the new penguin exhibit...it was feeding time.

and then we came across the funkiest van ever. Every inch was covered in beads, trinkets, anything this man came across in his travels.

On our last day in Boston, we braved the humidity and visited a wonderful market place at Faneuil Hall (historic meeting hall). We shopped, ate at Cheers, visited the historic hall and then walked over to Paul Revere's house. Wish we had more time to visit everything on the Freedom Trail. (To view all of the pictures from our trip, I will post them later tonight under the "Family Photo" link on this page)

A relative perhaps...Rufus Choate was a Massachusetts House of Representative in 1825-1826 and a Massachusetts senator in 1827.

Busy day...we first took the "T" which is the subway into downtown Boston. We went on a Duck Boat Tour which is an amphibious vehicle that took us on a tour of the city by land and by water. Very cool! Then we took the "T" to Fenway for lunch, shopping, a tour of the stadium, and a baseball game. We were worn out by the end of the day! Oh, and the Red Sox won 1-0...a pitchers dual!

Casey caught a ball during batting practice before the game for Corey.

Traveled back to Boston today but not without a detour to Saugus, Massachusetts. Having grown up in Saugus, CA I had to visit Saugus, MA. We found the high school, the center of town, and Newhall Avenue (important because Henry Newhall was born in MA and moved our town in CA).

The big day...Brad and Brittany are married. Congratulations...we love you!
