Santa Monica

We have just finished the first leg of the Mallett Vacation and we are now headed to Jackson Hole, via Bear Lake.

Chris and I had a fabulous time in CA sans kids. We stayed at the Casa Del Mar, ate excellent food, sat beach and poolside, shopped and saw Phish at the Hollywood Bowl. It was a great pre-anniversary trip. 17 years!!!

Bring on the garden!

It's blooming and producing, finally!

We got our first ever grapes and the blackberries have seriously produced as well. Love it!

You can see some fence progress in the panoramic shot, although we still have much more to go. Ironically the nei or asked if we wanted to go in half way on a new fence. Ha! Timing is everything. Where was he 3 months ago?

The boys just finished a two week diving course and it is amazing what they learned.

Nicholas also finished a round of swim lessons and can move up to the next level. He finished his lesson with a trip down the waterside and a jump off the high dive. Whoa!

Video documentation of Ben, Andrew will be in next post.
