Busy Summer: Part 3

With A coming home in August and getting a few weeks off work, we were able to end the summer on a high note.

During this month, the Gee Family visited California and we had fun outings with the whole family.
Beach day in the Dana Point Harbor.

Z catching a ride in Gigi's kayak.

 L finally trying the stand-up paddle board.

Z loves spending time with her cousins.


Rough life.

 During their stay, P turned 4 years old and we celebrated with a baseball-themed birthday party in the park. The Richardsons joined us too (yay, more cousins!). Happy Birthday, big boy!





 The required silly group shot.

We also took a little kid-free getaway to Las Vegas where we saw two spectacular shows and visited a few used record stores. All dressed up to see Penn & Teller's Magic Show!

Visiting the famous pawn shop featured on the "Pawn Stars" TV show on the History Channel.

 L in her usual retro attire for the amazing 'Love - Cirque du Soleil' production featuring the music of The Beatles (full review on L's music blog here).

A and the Blue Meanie (from The Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine).
 The groovy entrance.

All the while Z had fun with her grandparents.


Even A's uncle (Theo Alex) visited us from New York!

Annual Greek Festival fun!

A ready for surgery at the Naval Hospital.

We also took a little day-trip to Hollywood and spent quality time looking through the stacks of used vinyl at the famous Amoeba Records Store. 
 After a yummy dinner at The Grove, we topped off the night seeing one of L's favorite '60s British bands perform at the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood (full review here).

 We had a blast at another bonfire with our church group.

Dress-up time!

Hmm, I mustache you a question.

Boy, what a great summer, but the best part is having Daddy back!
