The Powells Come to Visit

John's sister Katie, her husband Jonathon, and their kids Thomas and Ally came to visit just before the 4th. They arrived late, I mean LATE or early depending on how you look at it. Anyway it was 2 am on the 1st. The next day we jumped on the fun, by sitting around watching the kids watch movies. Fun I know. You can hardly stand it. We were hoping John would be off early in hopes that he could go to the beach with us, but no such luck. So we decided to go without him, and if he got done in enough time he could join us. Thomas and Isaac were the best of friends right off the bat. Thomas even tried to convience me to let him take Isaac back home with him. Assuring me that Grandma would help take care of him. LOL!! We went to the beach near the Oxnard Beach park, mainly cause the last time I went there, there were very very few people. The day we went there were some, but still not many. Just below are pictures of Jonathon feeding the annoying seagulls, which got more annoying after that, and then we left. But the kids got a kick out of it.
Below are the pictures from earlier in the day at the beach...

Sand Surfing its the new thing! If you haven't tried it you are so behind the times.

Playing in the waves!



We went to Knotts Berry Farm on Day 2 of their trip


John explaining to Isaac to listen, don't run away, and be good or we WILL go home!!
The first ride
Yes Thomas is hanging on for dear life

Isaac really only knows Snopy and the gang from a Thanksgiving Charlie Brown episode, but he wanted his picture with them as soon as he saw them


Noah was so uncomtable when we first got there. It was a nice HOT summery California day. The was red, burning up, and very cranky. Then Katie, genius that she is, thought to put a wet T-shirt on his legs and WOW!! it was like night and day for that kid.


This was the long wait for any of the rides, and WOW it seemed like at least an hr
Isaac is definatly my son! Wanted every ride, and to then ride it again. He had no fear!!
