Winery tour, picnic and hike. |
|
We had visitors for lunch. |
 |
|
 |
Just like Oscar, waiting for some scraps! |
|
After lunch, we went to a state park for a hike in a redwood tree
grove. |
 |
|
 |
We planted Matthew. |
|
This picture was taken from within a big, hollow tree. |
 |
|
 |
At one time this was a window, but the bark has grown over the
outside (also taken from inside the tree). |
|
Matthew in a tree! |
 |
|
 |
The next stop was another park at the beach. Lots of
Pelicans and Seagulls. |
|
It was cool and WINDY. |
 |
|
 |
Next to this park was a marina with lots of cool exhibits.
This is a BIG whale skeleton. |
|
A large star fish. |
 |
|
 |
A funny shark. |
|
Matthew got some jam time in before we went to the Jelly Belly
factory. |
 |
|
 |
Lunch at the factory! |
|
Mr. Jelly Belly, Matthew and Mom. |
 |
|
|
Mimi read Ethan & Zach a book when we got there. |
 |
|
 |
John got home about midnight, and was still sacked out when
everyone got up the following morning. |
|
Deborah slept in and a sick Zach was under her bed. |
 |
|
 |
Matthew gave Zach a shot to perk him up! |
|
Matthew and Ethan "playing". |

Darth Vader and three Goode boys. |
|
John gets his soccer team ready to play..... |
 |
|
... while Ethan relaxes with a cool one. |
 |
|
 |
It was a fun game!!! |
|
After the game, we went to the State Fair. |
 |
|
 |
Ethan liked the elephant. |
|
Zach and Ethan are in the yellow boat. They shot several
kids in other boats...... |
 |
|
..... who then ganged up on them!!! |
 |
|
 |
Ethan finally figured out the bumper car. |
|
E really liked the merry-go-round. |
 |
|
 |
Two girls checked out Zach as he went down the super slide. |
|

John took Ethan first, but he went again on his own.
|
|
|

It was a hot day - it was time for Snow Cones!
|
|
Ethan and Zach got rides to the car. |
 |
|

The next day John started his BBQ and we went to a park.
|
|
|
 |
This is how you do it. |
|
Zach did a good job. |
 |
|
 |
When we got home, it was time to turn the meat! |
|
Ethan got a new bubble maker. |
 |
|
 |
Mimi blew him some to "catch".... |
|
..... while Grandpa and Dad worked on the irrigation system. |
 |
|
 |
The BBQ was a hit; Ethan really liked the ribs! |
