*sniff sniff* Time to go home :-(

Yes...it is that time. Time to go home. Rob and Nancy were kind enough to send some fresh naval oranges home with us. I can honestly say that I am eating somewhat organic now with the fresh oranges and avocados. Now I have been told that my blogs are rather long so I did actually shorten them quite a bit that I did leave some things out. Below are some other random pictures of the week we spent in California.

Quick recap: 1. family time on the beach looking for Amanda's shells 2. Paul and his boys found a ball to play with on the beach 3. Pelican (I think) hanging out watching a sand volleyball game 4. one of the many seagulls hanging out on the pier 5. Seal Beach Surf Weather report (I think we need one of them just for Minnesota weather) 6. MAN TIME out at the fire pit - I was told I could only be out there just to take the picture 7. Parrot sitting outside eating dinner as we were walking by...I don't think he liked it that I disturbed his dinner for this photo 8. Andy playing tug 0 war with Mtani...I think the dog won 9. We now know where the Goodyear Blimp lives.

Well we finally made it on the plane to head home. We were happy to be heading home but very sad to leave. We had our Nattie to get home to!! Below are some shots from the plane before I fell asleep for 3 hours.

Can you tell that Nattie was VERY happy to have us home. :-)She got some reindeer ears left for her by my parents. I think she loved them...don't you?
