We went with friends to the Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers game. It was Colby's first time at a MLB game. He had a blast. We did have to check out the play areas to keep him entertained. He came home afterwards wearing his hat saying he is running the bases, and he kept throwing his ball.

Roommates Visit

Mmm Smores
Bryan decided one night to try to make smores on the grill. We had Tim & Cara's family come over and join us.

So. Cal Vacation
For the last week of July we went on a vacation to Southern California. We started out in Laguna Beach and ended in Carlsbad. It was nice to enjoy the cool ocean weather and spend time with family & friends.
This is at a lookout in Laguna Beach.
This is where the previous picture was taken from. Down below us are steep cliffs to the ocean.

We spent the first weekend in Laguna with our friends, the Frosts.
