The Herrick Family Vacation - 2010 [part 2]

OK, ready for the 2nd installment of our family vacation photos?? And if you think this post is a doozy, just wait for part 3... ;-)

So once we arrived to Stockton on day 2 we were greeted with lovely sunshine, a nice breeze and all the Coke and Dr.Pepper we could possibly wish for! We stayed with my folks for 2 nights and the bonus was that my Dad picked up my grandma from across the bay and brought her to stay at his home while we were there...it made for an extra special visit!

OK, so besides all the Coke and DP, there were other fun things awaiting us!



For instance...this remote controlled plane that Scott is holding that I actually crash landed, and hard... but that's OK because 5 minutes later my dad did the same thing only on his landing the thing nearly disintegrated upon impact...nothing my dad can't fix though! Or the big, fun backyard with the softest grass and wide open field! Or even the magnify glass my Gma gave to Brooke, which then Scott decided would be a good time to teach them how to cook ants!


Here's what Brody's highlight of the trip was...nothing beats a tractor ride with Gpa!


Then it was the girls' turn on the tractor...


Of course there was some quad riding in between a tractor ride, or two...


My folks have worked so hard on their backyard and have really done a beautiful job! Loved all the details... and who doesn't love a 140lb German Shepherd mix...Sam was in heaven!


Then it was time to say goodbye - but just for a couple of days - so I made everyone bear with me while my camera went into overdrive...




And these pictures I will treasure FOREVER!

What we've been doing on our Friday nights...

We somehow got roped into a softball team over the summer with almost Scott's entire family as our team (minus a few who were smart to steer clear of the sign up sheet). We actually had a great time playing together and it was fun to do something different; boy were we a bunch of mis-fit toys in wonderland. We had one injury after the other which only reminds us all that we should leave the organized team sports to the next generation - we don't heal as quickly as we used to. Never the less, we did pretty good and were able to stick it out and make it through to the 2nd round of tournament games but then lost miserably and went down in a ball of flames to the tune of 24-4... YIKES! Unfortunately Scott had to work the night we took this photo at our last game... he was there in spirit! Our team captain - or the guy who *made* us do this - is Steve and he is the one kneeling with the goofy "thumbs-up smile" (and yeah, that's me next to the goof ball!) and he is ou...

Tough Mudder

Here are some videos of the  Tough Mudder challenge that Scott took part in (January 2012). So incredibly proud of these guys... I present to you... the Dirty Dads! And here is a FUNNY video I took of the final obstacle...not of the boys, but still so hilarious to watch!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]
