may travels

we spent the month of may out and about quite a bit. our first outing was a weekend in carmel-by-the-sea. it's so beautiful there. 

of course we went to the monterey bay aquarium since we were in the neighborhood. william enjoyed the sea horse exhibit.

we did lots of relaxing. one evening we tried to visit the beach but it was too windy and cold to stay long. lucy didn't seem to mind too much. 

the following weekend was cousin cal's 2nd birthday! we joined all the local shafers at lake berryessa in napa for a day of lake fun. everyone seemed to enjoy the boat except william. the only way we got him on the boat was bribery by licorice. 

we ate, relaxed, ate, threw rocks into the lake, ate, went tubing, ate, celebrated cal's birthday, and ate some more. a perfect day. 

our final trip of may was to hot arizona to celebrate jon's high school graduation. we enjoyed lots of cousin time.

 time in the princess room. 

 and lots of pool time!

 may was a busy but really fun month.
