The Massey's come to visit!

Our last little adventure for the time being was having our friends Corey, Shouna, and their baby Charley coming to LA to visit us for a week. Corey is a really good friend of Adam's from their days at OU in the school of engineering. They're full of stories and memories and it was so great to have them visit! We took a small trip to San Diego for the first part of their vacation and we went to San Diego Zoo! It was sooooo much fun and the little girls loved it!

Here's what the girls looked like every time we got in the car. This was from the lack of any sort of nap or nap schedule, and sleeping all together in a hotel room! Poor babies.
Part of San Diego Zoo is a children's zoo where they can pet certain animals. They only really had goats out at the time we went but Julia was definitely intrigued!
I've been a little obsessed with elephants lately, maybe because I recently read Water for Elephants and watched the movie, but I was excited to see the elephants at the zoo!
After the zoo, Adam and Corey got a little surfing lesson from Shouna's cousin who lives in Encinitas. They did pretty well! Adam has done some surfing before but it was good to get some tips from a real pro. :)
We all took turns over the week reading to the girls. They both enjoy books so much, it's great!
After we got back to Los Angeles, we did a little sight seeing. We took the Massey's to LA Live for dinner one night at the ESPN Zone.
Here's the girls enjoying the Zone: Such a cute smile from Charley!
Lately Julia has loved to wear accessories of other people's. She loves to put them on, smile real big, run to the mirror (if we're at home) to look at herself, then take them off. Look at those teeth!

It has been so fun to see family and friends over the last month, I'm sad the summer is coming to a close! :(
