This Wednesday we packed our truck and said goodbye to our apartment. Paul and the cats are driving the truck to CA and Lena and Morgan flew ahead and are staying with our good friends Becca and Mark eagerly awaiting Paul's arrival. Here are Lena and Morgan in our last moments in the empty living room. We've been talking a lot about "new house" and "old house" - Lena thought "empty house" was pretty cool.
Lena and Morgan stayed at our friend Sara's house the night before leaving Chicago. Lena found these sunglasses of Sara's when Morgan wasn't looking.
One of Chicago's finer points in our family's opinion is the animal seats in Midway airport. They have a special lane for families at the security checkpoint. Lena begins talking about animal seats as soon as we even mention going to an airport and is always extremely disappointed when other airports don't have them.
Lena is obsessed with Becca's Curious George anthology.
The connection is not always very good in the big western states Paul is driving through. Here Lena and Morgan try everything they can to get through!
Ah...the beach!
Pelicans at Natural Bridges State Beach
Morgan and Lena jumping in the waves.
Today we took a day trip up to Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park near Becca and Mark's old house. This is a little steam train that they run through the park. Lena thought the whistle was scarily loud but talked about them filling the water tank and the steam and the people riding the train the rest of the day.
Lena next to a tree ring display that dates this redwood back to the time of Jesus' birth. Whoa!
It's pretty hard to capture the grandeur of a redwood in a photo, but this is a nice one.
And you can catch people playing inside.
Lena "fishing" with a stick in a creek at Henry Cowell.
Showing off a special rock.
The special rock and Becca.
There was a pool in the creek that was really still. Becca caught these two shots of reflections.
Buddies sitting on a log at the end of a great day.
And one funny video of Lena strutting her stuff.
