The Herrick Family Vacation - 2010 [part 3a]

OK, now back to the regular posts on our fantastic summer vacation. After staying a couple nights at my folks house we traveled to my hometown of Fremont and man was it sooooo great to be back home... literally! I am so lucky that my childhood home is actually now my brother & sister-in-law's home. So, when I go home, I really do GO HOME... I just love that feeling of walking through that door.

We opted to stay at a hotel just a few miles away as our brood can be quite the handful, but once we got checked in we excitedly made our way to my bro's home. I was just dying to see my nephews... 'lil man J and the big chunk master Z who I literally wanted to gobble up the moment I laid eyes on him. We had a lovely first encounter ;-)



So day 1 with my bro and fam was super chill...a great time for the cousins to just play and get to know each other better. The next day we ventured to a nearby farm and historical park where we lunched and met some of the local creatures...





Nothing beats seeing my bro play the part as 'the-human-jungle-gym'

All the cousins together...LOVE IT!!


Then on Saturday morning we managed to take all the kids to the cutest little garden at the base of Mission Hills. The grounds were beautiful and so well taken care of; the kids had a great time exploring the different paths and bridges and plant life.










Next up will be part 3b... the 2nd part of our Fremont stay...

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!
