Christmas in California: Part 10


Alright, last post about our California trip.

Stephen's parents headed back home on Sunday and we stayed in Ventura until Tuesday.

Sunday we went to church and then hung out at the house and let the kids play.

Alice decided that Mae was having so much fun with the helmet that she wanted to too.

Alice also fell on their brick steps and hit her head right between her eyebrows.

Thankfully it was just a little bump and nothing serious and she had all her cousins to distract her from the pain.

The next day we went to the Santa Barbara Zoo.

 Checking out the elephants.




Mae seeing the "grr grrs" (lions)


Avila gets really sad that she can't take one of these foxes home.


Then we fed the sheep and goats.


Alice learned what a sheep says.  She is a pro at animal noises.


Sharing the sheep food.



Kids table for lunch.



Back at home, Alice tried on Mae's helmet and loved it.



Had a great dinner that night all together at a pub in downtown Ventura.

That night Alice crashed with daddy on the bed.



We left the next morning.

Alice did great on the flights and killed time during our layover walking the opposite direction on the moving walk ways.  (what a great way to get a toddler tired!)

We got home at exactly 12am on January 1st.

So that is the end of our Christmas in California.

Lots of pictures, lots of fun.

Thanks for hanging in for my 10 part series!
