Happy Birthday Grandpa!

In celebration of my dad's birthday, this year we all gathered in Solvang for a weekend getaway.  We stayed at a rental house that really had everything we needed to just relax and have a great time.

Checking the chicken coop for eggs!

Fresh eggs!

Tire swing!

Whee!

Pool time!

Relaxing in the kid sized lounge chairs.

It's party time!

Ready for our celebration dinner.

Blowing out the candles!

The whole fam!

Snuggling with Uncle James & Auntie Jo!

What a beautiful evening!


There were some people going by on a horse ride and we ran out to see the horses. They were kind enough to turn around and let us pet their horses, and even get on them! Auntie Jo was brave enough to go on with Katelyn.

Then it was Ethan's turn!

The next day we checked out a local park. Staying cool with the misters!

Acting their young age!

Enjoying the swing!

The stripes club!

Enjoying their fun aunties and uncles! The dancing puppet show by Uncle Brian and Auntie Jo was the best!

Cheese!

After the park it was time for lunch and a special treat in downtown Solvang!

There's nothing like ending your day with an ice cream cone!

We even did a little pond fishing back at the house!

We didn't catch anything, but it was worth a try!


Happy Birthday Grandpa! We enjoyed celebrating with you and having this special weekend together! We love you!!!
