Santa Barbara

Anna has been having to see a doctor in Santa Barbara for her elbow so when she was going to get her cast off we decided to celebrate and make a day out of it! She was a little hesitant at first with her cast off but pretty soon started moving it a little. She probably won't have full range of motion for a couple of weeks. We rented a Surrey and pedaled down the beautiful beach. I was a gorgeous day and the kids thought it was great! McKay and I were the only ones actually pedaling but it wasn't hard (maybe McKay would say differently.) Brad was a trooper. The ocean breeze would take his breath away sometimes but other than that he enjoyed the bike ride.Mac was in heaven! He loved wearing his helmet and sitting up front in the basket. We would look over at him and he would be sitting there smiling. We stopped to get an ice cream cone and Mac kept telling us he wanted to ride the bike. We rode it for almost two hours (including our ice cream stop.) The kids are already asking when we can do it again.

After the bike ride we decided to play at the beach for a little bit. We only played for about 40 minutes (it was starting to get cold!) but it was still fun. Mac did not like the cold water. He wanted to be held the whole time.
