Saturday night LIVE with Brianna

Our little performer trying on hats for show .... and dancing to boot!

Sunday found us at Santana Row in San Jose. We hit the Farmer's Market and Jazz Concert in the Park first. We had an absolute blast!!!!

"Summer" in Carmel-by-the-Sea

We had an amazing Sabbath afternoon in Carmel. It was freezing cold but we managed and enjoyed the cold breeze, beautiful coast and gorgeous landscape. Bibi's parents loved the town as well.

A stroll by the beach

Daddy's girl

Brianna and Nina, happy girls posing for pics. Nina is Adrian and Silvia Gregorutti's little girl. Adrian took our engagement and wedding pictures back in 1999. It was great to meet again and catch up. Nina and Bri are only a year apart.

Daniel met a friend from his Peru years, Pr. Ruben Sanchez and his wife. We all had a GREAT time getting more acquainted. Pr. Sanchez' daughter, Vivian, and her family attend the Visalia SDA Church. Vivian and Bibi are becoming fast friends these days!

An unforgettable meal at Dharma's. This vegetarian Cafe had impressive food at incredible prices. We all ate a lot and still took a bunch of food home. Wish it was closer to home!

Knocked out arriving at Carmel By-The-Sea in the afternoon!

Soquel Campmeeting 2009

Sabbath, July 18th found us at Soquel Campmeeting 2009. During our trip there, Abu Nino read just about every book we had to Brianna. They both loved it!

We had a great Friday Night Supper with the Norton's

Haystacks galore!!!

Cascade and Brianna loved playing together and really enjoyed the food (though Cascade wasn't too happy about having her picture taken!)

IL DIVO

On July 23rd we took Daniel and Ivon to see IL DIVO in Fresno. Bibi's Dad loves music but was never able to attend a concert in his whole life. This experience was priceless, actually, for all of us. We are all fans of IL DIVO music and were blown away by the quality of the show.

Loving every second of the whole two hours! This is Jer & Bibi's third IL DIVO Concert and Kiara's First. She was such a doll! She didn't want to miss a thing and listened to the music, watched the lights and even took a nap!

A day to remember ...

Peaches & Clown

We had a family peach tree picking afternoon. Amee had lots of yummy peaches in her tree so we had to help! What a treat!

Ivon's Mom (Bibi's Grandma) owned and operated an orchard company in Mendoza, Argentina. She had peaches, nectarines, apricots, pears, and olives, just to name a few. Ivon and Bibi both grew up with the family tradition of picking fresh fruit off the trees. And we're keeping that tradition alive in Visalia for our girls!

We also made time to go see Boswick The Clown at the Visalia Public Library. It was GREAT fun and Brianna loved him and his tricks!

A nice pic after an exciting show! If you want to learn more about this awesome professional clown, please go to www.boswick.net

The Burgos Family

One of the highlights of the day was the Burgos family visiting us from Thousand Oaks. The girls had a blast in the pool and also dressing up. The adults caught up with good conversation, reading, hanging out at the pool and enjoying each other a lot!
