Sunday Funday


On Sunday, my parents joined the group and we started off the day with breakfast at Esau's Cafe. 

The plan after that was to walk up on the pier and check out the huge waves that day but it was SUPER windy and cold....typical Spring in Santa Barbara....

So, we opted for an activity indoors and headed to the Natural History Museum instead.

The Science PlayLab was a big hit!




The outdoor area at the museum was interesting or I should say dangerous with these large bamboo poles.  The one Samantha is launching forward came right back and hit Todd in the head. Ouch!

 After the museum, the wind subsided and the sunshine came out (seriously, the weather in Santa Barbara drive me crazy!), so we headed over to Grandma and Poppy's hotel to swim.






It actually was so hot that all the kids got tan lines even though we were not there very long.  By the way, I love this picture of Sam sunbathing.  She was very methodical about making herself a pillow towel and getting set up just perfectly and closing her eyes for a little rest in the sun.  Such a sweetheart!

Thatcher on the other hand......

After swimming, we headed over to The Barbecue Company in Carpinteria for dinner.  And this is Thatcher under the table throwing a fit. This was the second day in a row with no nap and he had HAD it! 
 Todd was able to calm him down by breastfeeding him, just kidding! He took a little cat nap with daddy. ;)


 We stuffed ourselves with tri tip sandwiches and other delicious BBQ.

And then back home for an early night's sleep.
