Ladybugs and Good-byes

7.15

Sadly, how they best get along.

Auggie and I spent a Saturday morning at Earthbound Farms.

It included lots of bugs.

And raspberries.

There weren't enough on the vines, so we bought some more from their store.

And they got inspected.

My finest moment.

Wish I could claim this work of art as my own, but no.

It was fun watching this creation.

I will never not appreciate a warm beach day here.

Sally and I went back for a second year to the Bach Festival Family Concert.

So good.

Later that day we met Brent & Errin's family at Salinas City BBQ.

They were passing through on their way home from their Seattle RV trip.

Birds need walks, too.

Got to have the Carter kids over while their family packed up for their big move.

Reed is Auggie's best bud and Angie is one of mine.

Sad to see them go.

Good-bye bowling party for the Carters.

And a few days later we had a good-bye beach party for the Barrs.

And Justin's pants ripped.

And the kids were pyros.

The after party at the Laflans was one of the funniest nights of my life.

This picture represents us attending the Feast of Lanterns.

Sally, Tes, and Meg created this work of art while waiting for the fireworks.

End of July and August still didn't love Sunbeams.

His favorite teacher had gotten released...sad day.

The sub rewarded his good behavior with a zucchini, which was a lesson prop.

Made his day.

One last good-bye gathering with the Barrs.

Monique loves the kids and they love her back.
