Carin and Jim arrived from Dallas on Friday evening - it was so good to see them! It had been over a year since Max and I saw them last! On Saturday morning, Brent and Jim went surfing - Jim did quite well! Carin, Max and I went to Crow's Nest in Santa Cruz for lunch and Marlene, Chris and Lilly drove down from Half Moon Bay and met us. Carin, Max and I waited for them on one of the outdoor patios, enjoying the sunshine. Unfortunately it was interrupted when a huge Pelican landed on us!! Carin and I were sitting next to each other and it literally landed on our shoulders. It was terrifying, everyone on the patio freaked out (us included...), Max started to cry. It was quite an experience. By the time Marlene & Co. arrived, the bird had been caught and removed, our table cleaned off and our water glasses replaced. It was great to catch up with the Soderstroms who were happy to have missed the Pelican visit.
Carin and I were able to get some shopping done in the afternoon while Brent and Jim prepared dinner. The Uffelmans joined us for a BBQ and made the evening even more fun. Max and Luke had fun playing. Carin was quite taken with baby Brinn. Karen and Brian double checked the stroller on the way home to make sure Brinn was still in it...
On Sunday we had to show Carin and Jim the favorite crepe stand at the Los Gatos Farmers Market. Thereafter, we got some more shopping done before Carin flew home. It was a fun weekend and we are crossing our fingers that one day, Carin and Jim (and Mia!) will relocate to California...
