California trip

This last weekend we went to California where Scott had to take his 8-hour Professional Engineer test. We decided to make a little vacation out of it. Scott's parents came along and we all had a lot of fun going to the LA zoo and going for train rides while poor Scott was stuck in a testing center for the entire Friday. We spent Saturday hanging out with Scott's aunt and uncle who live there. They took us tide pooling, which was way cool. We got to see all kinds of sea life. There were star fish, Hermit crabs, some other crabs, anemones, huge snails, and other sea creatures whose names I don't know. Ben had a lot of fun and wanted to touch everything and even tried to put it in his mouth...eww... gotta keep a close eye on that kid. We all had a lot of fun. It was a little smoky when we got there on Thursday but then it seemed to clear up quite a bit.

It's nice to have Scott done with his test, though he won't know the results for about three months from now. It's been consuming all his time lately, which means virtually no time for me and Ben. So we're very excited to have Daddy back.
