Mt. Hermon 2010

This past week we were blessed to spend the week at Mt. Hermon family camp, in Santa Cruz. It has been a tradition in Tommy's family for many years. This year, a lot of Tommy's extended family came as well. Tommy's three cousins Cara, Kelsey, and Courtney and all their kids made it really fun, a little crazy at times;), but really fun. It was a week of a lot of hill walking(which made it a little interesting for me), pool time, ropes course, a train ride through the redwoods to the boardwalk, hiking up to pancake ridge for a pancake breakfast, a nice break for the moms: 3 hours of child care, (more like preschool) in the morning, and 2 hours at night...ahhhh!, good ice cream at the fountain, and lots of laughs. Fun times.

Brady boy and Elaina. First night. Carnival night on the field.

LOVES the bounce-house. Will continue to jump on the ground after..

Brady, Tommy, and Uncle Robbie.

It was hot. He takes after his dad and likes to take his shirt off.

Kelsey playing ring around the rosie with the kiddos.

Passing some time by throwing the rocks in the creek.

Tommy, Brady, Elaina, and Rob.

On the train. Headed to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk.

We love Kelsey.

In awe that you could see the rides at the boardwalk and the ocean at the same time.

Brady and Halle on the airplane ride. Loving life.

Brady on the whale, or the "shark ride" as Brady liked to call it.

Boat ride with the cousins.

"Hands up"!!!

Gotta love the carousel ride.

We had a dance party with all the kids. At 9:30 at night. A little crazy? Yes. but really fun.

All the kids. Beginning to lose it.

Much better. They were all a little happier:)

The whole group. Minus Tommy's parents who left the day before. So fun.

After leaving Mt. Hermon, my parents were in Capitola so we had lunch and spent the day with them:)

And the pretty much concludes our crazy crazy summer of traveling. At least for this pregnant lady. Restless leg, Braxton Hicks, swollen feet are plenty of reasons for me to stay put. 7 more weeks at the most till we meet our new addition. Cant wait.
