Mandy took the kids out for a picnic. This concept is made more difficult by the fact that Graham detests the feel of grass. He's even been known to throw a fit if he is just being held and I walk out on grass.

 You try getting the two of them to look at the camera at the same time! We were lucky enough to catch this one while they were able to sit up on the wall.

 This is what happens when we set them down and allow them to walk. He goes one way, she goes the other.

Mandy and I took a two night trip up to Morro Bay to celebrate our 9th anniversary. The kids stayed at their parents one night, their great-grandparents the other. It was an incredible trip for us - we came back in such a refreshed, relaxed mood. The shot of her was taken on the beach right off the rock, the one of me she snapped while we toured Hearst Castle.
