The long awaited visit finally came to pass.
Jody & Kirk got in the mini-van and drove from Mesa to Gilroy with 3 kids.
They survived and we all had a great time.
We went to the Aquarium and Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, stayed with Grandma & Grandpa Eggers in Gilroy, hung out on the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, fed carrots to albino deer, made green smoothies, played games, and ate too much candy!

Watching taffy being made and some silly faces
Kaleb & Jason on the Carousel. I didnt really care about any of the rides except for this one. This is not just any carousel, it has a little ring dispenser and as you go around you can reach out and grab a ring and then try and throw it into the clowns mouth thats painted on the wall. I just thought it looked like fun, I never really thought I'd actually hit the jackpot! Whoo hoo :)

Kirk. Enjoying a free moment.
This is Jody and Carter at a little diner right by the Aquarium. It was the perfect place to eat! And thanks to Mrs. GPS, she helped us find it. Too bad it was after we drove around Monterey a little while and past the same McDonalds about 3 times :) (this was of course before we remembered we had Mrs. GPS at our fingertips). Every time we would pass the McDonalds Kaleb would say "oh look another McDonalds!" Finally he said "Wow this place has a lot of McDonalds'."
Wow! Look at those antlers! I wondered if he ever got too carried away trying to get carrots from tourists near the fence and got tangled in the fence. He seemed to have pretty good antler awareness amazingly enough.
