pris: "how spontaneous are you?"
me: "i'm in"

2 days later i'm with the babies in a beachfront home with some of my favorite people on the planet. it was a week full of all of my wishes coming true. on the last day- i actually found a unicorn washing and packing my clothes. it was that good.

the only issue during the whole week was whether to bring my camera and attempt to capture some of the beautiful scenes or leaving it behind and not worrying about the distraction.
i mostly chose the latter. however, here are some shots i managed to steal.

teague. the happiest soul on earth.

a jaunt in the pink buggy usually did the trick for these boys.

colton. i'm renaming him "nonstop".

ok. i confess.
the whale bones on the beach are definitely the coolest thing i've ever witnessed.
and i've seen a lot.
this tops priscilla's naked dancing texts and watching brad beauchamp nail david bruce in the crotch with a water balloon during a pep rally in high school
something i didn't think could be beaten.

and when i thought it couldn't get any better, doug showed me this.
a decaying carcase.
i was a 7 year old boy in heaven.
poking it with a stick and smelling my fingers.

cheryl and doug.
the hosts with the mosts.
and some serious griddle skills.

i was hoping ade would take his first steps during our trip to disneyland.
i guess the beach in mexico during sunset will have to do.

my best friend and her daughter in law priscilla.

the ONLY thing that made leaving a little less painful was the fact that i'd be returning in about 7 weeks with a bunch of girls, an irresponsible amount of diet coke and zero babies.
i can hardly wait.
