Santa Cruz - Wednesday

Wednesday was our last day in Santa Cruz - everyone else stayed another day, but we needed to get back to Salt Lake so that Jon could leave for Youth Conference.


What a cute sight in the mornings!
 
 
On Wednesday morning, Becky M., Annie, Becky C., & I found the local quilt/craft store and went to explore.  So fun!
 
Then, after we got back, Lindsey went with Annie, Richard & Misty to go paddle boarding.  They did a great job and no one fell in!   Becky Cowden was soooo sweet and after taking pictures of the paddle-boarders, took Hannah & Kate to an aquarium.  They got to touch fish, stingrays, etc. and had a great time!
















That late afternoon/evening, we went back to a favorite spot at the beach for a BBQ.  Richard Olsen was so kind and sat at our spot for several hours so that we'd have a good pit to roast hot dogs & marshmallows over.
 
Again, the weather was gorgeous and the food was delicious!
  
 Me, Jon, Emily & Lindsey
 


 The Cowden's have some really good friends - Jake & Shannon - who we got to meet and see a couple of times.  Jake grew up in Santa Cruz next door to Willie, Becky's husband.  Jake & Shannon were so fun to visit with and so kind to all of us.
 





 A dirty face = fun night at the beach!
 









Baby Max was a really good sport with everything!  Sweet little guy!
 

These 4 loved the hot tub!
 
 
Again, this was such a fun trip!  A huge thank you to Becky, Annie & Jesse for sharing their trip with us!   And to Becky & Becky for letting me have all these pictures!
