While the kids are away...

 The kids spent time with their Mia and Papa in Redlands at the end of last week and into the weekend.  That gave Kit and I some time together and so we all won!

We stayed local and had some fun time at the pool and eating favorite foods and visiting places for ideas for our backyard:

Breakfast at Cowgirl Cafe:

Wandering around Roger's Garden's:

Time at our pool:

TACOS are always a good idea:

Then on Saturday, we took the entire day to road trip out to the desert that ended in Big Bear:

We grabbed breakfast:

So GOOD!

Then we drove and talked, and laughed, and dreamed... It was so good to just go and "get lost" together:

We got to see part of the Pacific Coast Trail:

Then we ended in Big Bear for a picnic lunch:

We ended the day with Indian food and watching Gladiator.

I love this man so much and I am so thankful that we had this time together!

And while we were gone, the kids had the BEST time!

Some snapshots that were shared with us:

Helping at the library:

Crafting their Kiwi Crates:

Pool time!

It's too bad that they all don't adore each other... Thank you Mia and Papa for loving on our kiddos so that we could enjoy the time together.
