vacaville.

 avery michael's first visit to the ranch.

this was drew's childhood.

so we were pretty excited.

sadly i got one photo here.

it was really cool though.

about half of drew's moms sibling still live there.

it was so fun to see everyone!

 drew's aunt set up some horse back riding one day at a friends.

 i was good with the horses walking nice and slow.

 drew wanted them to gallop.

 it was fun to see his excitement.

and avery was a gem and slept the whole time.

basically i'm and expert haha.

san francisco.

 first avery was like what? how'd we get to california.

then he was like oh okay i accept.

haha so on our way home from canada it made sense to stop by california right.

quite the struggle getting there.

our car broke down yet again.

but we finally made it.

and wanted to make the most of our few days there.

so after visiting family we headed to san fran. 

 the bearded men.

 lunch on the warf.

 avery loves hims some bread.

 explored all around.

 the classic.

 happy little man.

 oh leo.

 then the beach!

drew's family lives about an hour away so they knew all the good places.

 hahha we kept telling avery to touch the sand.

well he did..

then decided he quite liked it.

 had some fancy little man in a french hat take some family photos.

he got really into it and kept snapping away.

haha it was great.

 then this happened.

haha drew wanted him to experience the ocean.

so we rolled up his chubby little legs in his skinnies.

 i know there is a million of this.

but i just think it's cute.

 clearly avery drew this heart.

 then we ventured over the golden gate bridge.

had some dinner in sausealito.

i'm not going to pretend to know how to spell that.

and took this photo, cuz were cool.

harbor.

 so one day we took a harbor tour in vancouver.

it was so cool.

 now were a little canadian family haha.

 there were airplanes landing on the water.

 sweet cuddly babies.

avery was such a good sport putting up with a crazy schedule.

 a bald eagle!

 also avery now loves to clap.

it's pretty darn cute.

 then we explored the city a little more.

 naps on the go.

 can you see us in the blue?

 haha if you know anything about canada.

 also then we saw all these signs of canadian places.

so we stood by all the ones we lived/visited.

then we found a cool little city called grandville in the outskirts and played.
