6th Anniversary

Okay, so I know the blog is supposed to be about the "wee Webbers", but this one is more about the big Webbers.  Last weekend was Carey and my 6th anniversary and I think it may have been our best one yet:)  Saturday morning we took the kids to Henry Cowell Park and "hiked" (read: walked) through the gorgeous redwood forest.  We saw deer, squirrels, banana slugs and, of course, HUGE redwood trees.  They thought it was so fun to see the "caves" where the trees had burned.

Later that afternoon we took the kiddos to my parents' house to spend the night.  Abby and Haley had individually spent the night there before, but it was the first time for Seth, and the first time for my parents to have ALL three of them together.  Thank you so much, Grammie Lori and Poppa Phil.

Guess what we were SO excited to do after leaving the kids at grandma and grandpa's house...CLEAN!  We went home and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more.  Some people have been disappointed with us that we chose our anniversary to clean, but, come on, what better anniversary gift to each other than a clean house (which, by the way, stayed clean all night AND was STILL CLEAN the next morning)!  Oh, it was great.  We even got take out and brought it home, because it was just so nice to be home and have it be calm and quiet (and clean). 

I will say that in the morning, when we both woke up at 9:00 and the house was quiet we agreed that it was a nice break, but we are glad that our lives are normally loud and alive with three precious little Webbers:)

In a little crack they found:)

Four out of the five of us crammed in a tiny crevice in a tree!

It's tradition to take a picture in my wedding dress on our anniversary.  This was Haley's shot at taking our picture!

After Haley's attempt, we decided we should use the timer setting.  For some reason we look SUPER tall!

Fun At Happy Hollow

This afternoon we went to Happy Hollow for a couple hours and it was so great.  We went for the last two hours before it closed, so a lot of people were leaving as we got there.  I think the cold weather helped keep people away as well.  It was a perfect day for the kids to ride rides.  The most fun part was that Seth was TOTALLY into the rides.  Up until now, he's always been super scared, and not even tried the merry go round.  Today he was crying because he wasn't tall enough for the roller coaster!  He did get to go on the merry-go-round (twice), the car ride (twice), the swings and the ladybugs!

Since there were really no lines, the girls got to go on the roller coaster three times.  I was wishing so badly for the video camera because they were so funny on it.  Haley would keep her hands up the whole time, and Abby kept giving us a "thumbs up" when they were at the top of the hill!

We didn't have any quarters for the goat food vending machine, so the kids were just picking up pellets that other kids had dropped!

Last time we went, Seth didn't even want to look at the animals in the petting area.  Today he pet and fed the goats.  So brave!

This was just how the girls were standing waiting for us to catch up with them when we were walking back to the car!
