Last Weekend

Last weekend was so much fun!
We kicked it off with the Winter Wine Down, a fundraiser that the Strong family generously invited us to.
It was such a beautiful afternoon of wine and food tasting, a raffle and an auction with all proceeds benefiting Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) research, a cause that is near and dear to our hearts.


After the event, we relieved the sitter and took the kids out to dinner at Cafe Stella.




And then home for a dance party that started in the car.




But ended quickly because.....

Samantha somehow got a wad of gum stuck in her hair.


Off to a fresh start, (and a little less hair), we had brunch the next morning at The Boathouse

.






After brunch, we headed to the Santa Barbara Kite Festival.















Todd kinda-sorta got our elephant kite up in the air, kind of.  He at least was able to get it to fly long enough for me to snap a few photos.  Who knew flying a kite would be so hard?!

The weather was just too nice to not stay outside, so after naps we all took a bike ride.




Thatcher was just too cute on his little bike.  He's still not quite tall enough for it.  He was so proud of himself and didn't want any help.  He kept saying , "Wait up! Oh man, wait for me! I'm catching up!"
