The big OC

Well, we went for our annual summer tour of the OC and it was a little different with a 4th person! Highlights included: Madeline going biserk with cousins--Austin & Brandon, Madeline going nuts with Eva's dogs--Baloo & Fedi, Madeline chasing and catching guinea pigs then hugging and kissing goats at a petting zoo, hiking down to a beautiful semi-private beach in Laguna (down about 500 stairs...holding a child & bag of junk), swimming in Mimi & Grandpa's pool with an alligator, killer whale, and spider, visiting loads of people we love & showing off our little Amelie, and of course--driving home with our vehicle stuffed to the max with diapers, wipes, baby clothes and other memorabilia from the journey. The girls were great and slept most of the time that we traveled over the long, long distances. What a trip!
