This year the Google Summer Party was at Knott's Berry Farm. Andy and the kids had never been, although when Joey heard where we were going he said, "Oh! I love the hay maze there." It turns out he was thinking of Bates Nut Farm. He was thrilled when he found out that we were going to an amusement park, not an actual farm.

 Saturday morning we met Christina at the Santa Barbara Mission. Joey learned all about the California missions in fourth grade so it worked out well that we got to visit this one.

On Friday, the kids and I took a road trip with my mom to go to Santa Barbara to visit my sister-in-law Christina. My mom and I visited Santa Barbara four years ago to see Christina when she was participating in the same music festival. Ever since our road trip to Colorado last summer, the kids have been super excited about going on another one. This one was much shorter, but they were still pumped!

I'm a little late in posting this, but Ellie's half birthday was a couple of weeks ago!
