Monterey

We had a great time in Monterey with the cousins. Here are a few of the fun things we did:

Hiking at Elkhorn Slough

Zach and Rhett were the leaders of the pack

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Zach, Josh, Daniel, Julia, Rhett and Karly


We all rode bikes along the bay. Steve and I rode in this with 6 of the kids.

Josh's shiner

Last Thursday night Josh got hit in the eye with a baseball while out playing catch when it was getting too dark to see. On Friday morning it looked swollen and a bit red, but not too impressive, especially in these pictures where the swelling doesn't show up so well.

Sunday was the most impressive day. He still had quite a bit of swelling and the black was all the way around his eye. Just in time for church! By the time I took these pictures on Monday night the black had started to fade and he was looking much better.
