California Turkeys

Our trip to California this Thanksgiving was splendid! The girls had a great time and were sad to leave. We spent 2 nights in Santa Cruz in a 6-room house. It was fun to hang out and play some games together.

We had a walk and picnic at the Wilder Ranch state park. We saw some farm animals and the girls got to make giant bubbles. 

We also visited the Natural Bridges beach. 

Kahlan braved the waves. 

Juniper just wanted to run on the sand and chase seagulls.


It was especially neat to see the monarch butterflies on their migration stop.

On our last day at Santa Cruz we were able to spot several spouting whales off shore.

We enjoyed a lot of turkey in Turlock (and yes we did play a lot of Splendor). The kids had fun playing outside in the warm weather. Juniper spent most of her time tormenting the family cats.

The girls got to ride the carousel and see some Christmas lights. Juniper wasn't sure about it the first time around but was ready for a second go.

for more pictures!
