Sanibel FL, Part 1

We had the best opportunity to spend Friendsgiving in Sanibel Island FL with the Schaefers, Zack, Jessi and Cruz.  Of course we never say no to a trip with friends!!  We arrived in Miami Sunday afternoon and made a quick stop at a Cuban restaurant for my favorite meal, a Cuban Sandwich with rice & beans.

Melissa's family home is beautiful and spacious and sits right on the water, it was perfect!!

Roman loved the boys.

 Eric and I came here 4 years ago for Jon & Melissa's wedding and it was so fun to bring our kids here and enjoy the new 3 kids that have arrived since.

Meanwhile in Palm Springs....Betsy and Brady came out to dog/chicken/house sit and spend some time with mom and dad.  They took dad wine tasting in Temecula one day....I am now a member at Ponte and Weins thanks to them.

Ty and I took a lovely bike ride to the beach on Monday.  It was a little chilly on one side of the island and much warmer on the other.  They have amazing bike paths and the boys enjoyed going off by themselves.

Zack doing some catching on our little beach.

Eric enjoying the sunset.

Hot tube time.

Dinner here Monday night, best grouper sandwich, so good that Eric and I went back for lunch the next day!!

Mason calls Cruz his 'Godbrother'.

Party time in Sanibel!!

Tuesday was gorgeous and Mason enjoyed the sun while Eric and Luke set the crab pot.

UCLA v Oregon St

We took the boys and my dad to our first UCLA game a few weeks ago.  The group we went with had a great tailgate spot and it was a beautiful day in Pasadena.

The boys played lots of frisknock and Julie and Eric relaxed.
