The Rest

Monday, July 6th was the last day of the 4th of July sales at the Outlets in Gilroy so we spent the day there shopping. I must say, I love shopping in big cities, until I can't find my size in jeans or the right size shirt. >:( Very annoying. Strange though...normally I don't have a problem in Arizona. There were lots of really good sales though so that was good. We had lunch at In-N-Out It was SOO good! I've never eaten there before either. Very tastey! :)

Tuesday we walked to the park and McKay finnally got to have a nap. I basically just downloaded music on my mp3.

Wednesday was the hottest day of the week (around 80 degrees) so we decided to go to the beach after McKay woke up from his nap. I LOVE going to the beach! It was a beautiful evening and we all had a great time. Maria was in such a good mood when she found out that she didn't have to pay for parking :) It was great! a free day at the beach :)

Yes it was my first time being in the ocean. :) I LOVED it!

I almost got taken out a few times when the waves were coming at me. It was still fun nonetheless though. Its really relaxing to have waves crash against you.

Sunsets at the Beach are SOO B-E-A-UTIFUL!

Santana Row! Wow i felt SO underdressed! It was pretty there and pricy. Very impressive place though. Even though I've never been to Europe, it reminds me of it.

I like fountain pictures :)

I thought it was so cool the way the shrubs were around this chess place. So COOL!

The big chess pieces! Aren't they so cool?!?

Stanford University
I have to say, it is Beautiful there! the grass is green and luscious the architecture is beautiful, the style is pretty....it's just a beautiful place!

Just a note-these pictures are kind of random but i like them for one reason or another :)

I just LOVE this picture!! It's so Beautiful! We had a lot of good ones but I just REALLY like this one.
I really don't know why my leg is in that wierd position like that...I think I was doing a pose before that and just didn't move or something.

You can't leave without a fun pose. That's just how it works. So here is our pose. :)

These corridors go on forever!! Not even joking!! I mean, can you see the end?!? cRaZy!!

I like this picture, it's not anything in particular, but it's still cool to me. I don't even know why it is.

Stanford was a beautiful Campus! I hope that someday I will be able to go back and enjoy it.

Camping at Shaver Lake

While I was still in CA with Maria and Jordan, we went camping at a place called Shaver Lake it was a nice little getaway spot that was really pretty and nice. On the way there, I was in the backseat, helping McKay be entertained with all of his books. When we got there, we had eventually gotten to the point of stacking them. He got quite a kick out of it. Naturally, we couldn't help taking a picture.
We went on a hike one day and Maria was taking pictures with her camera and I thought this one turned out cool. It wasn't even photo shopped!

McKay had a hard time eating all of his dinner one day, so in order to distract him we were taking pictures of him and then showing him. This one turned out really cute.

Maybe it has something to do with living in Arizona, but I have never seen pine cones this big. They were HUGE! It was CrAzY!

Even though it was cool to see them just regularly, it was even cooler to watch them burn. They would make this really big flame and then as they would keep burning they would glow a bright orange. It was SOOO cool. This picture really doesn't do it much justice.
Since we were there during the 4th of July, we had to set up to watch the fireworks. We had to walk a long ways to get there and even then we had to wait at least 1/2 to an hour before it started. Luckily this man told us about this spot and we had a GREAT view of the lake AND the fireworks. Too bad the fireworks were kind of lame. :(

What a CUTE family!!

You Kind of have to look but there IS a squirrel or chipmunk in this picture. (I can't really tell the difference). They were EVERYWHERE!! Almost everywhere you turned there was another one!

I don't have a picture, but when we were camping, the first day was nice and quiet, but the second day there were these mexicans there that were listening to about 4 songs over and over really loud. It was during McKay's nap time too:( After a while of enduring, Jordan went over and asked them to keep it down. Their 4 year old had to translate for them, but they did quiet down.

I'm Kind of going out of order, but this is of the day that we were at the lake. McKay's blowing kisses to mommy. :)

This is a picture of the lake that we got from a different view. Isn't it B-E-A-UTIFUL! What a fun camping trip!
