This baby is arriving with the most perfect timing. I had my last day of work last Friday and Nate's 6th graders graduated on Thursday, so we've been enjoying a whole week of summer vacation before the baby. On Saturday we kicked it off with another one of Santa Barbara's glorious parades! The Solstice parade (a.k.a. "The Crazy Parade") was on the hottest day of this year, around 95 degrees. Santa Barbara doesn't really know how to cope in the heat. No one has air conditioning, so we all sort of rough it and everyone slows down to a slither when it gets this hot. Personally, I like it - it reminds me of home. All the crazies come out for solstice and the whole town really parties harder than the 4th of July. It was a good time.

I don't even know what this is really. That's part of the beauty of this parade I guess.

While I walked, Nate and Finn took a leisurely ride back on the skateboard.
Just a few more days!
We've been really enjoying this last week with just Finner-magoo. We went to the Natural History Museum to check out the dinosaur exhibit. Finn was impressed, mostly commenting on how he has dinosaur pajamas at home. Ah, kids.
Nate, Finn and T. Rex
He loves the hands-on stuff at the museum.
Just a cute picture of Finn and Ramona on the porch swing. It so fun to have great friends as neighbors!
