Gardening and Bodega Bay Fish Fest

What a great weekend!!  After weeks of rain...especially on the weekends...we were fortunate enough to get a  nice, warmy sunny Saturday so we started getting our garden ready.  We started our morning on a bike ride to get coffee downtown-a great weekend tradition-and this time we didn't need to put gloves on Grey!  Then we headed over to the farmer's market where we picked up some oysters to BBQ  and a few starter plants-onions, broccoli raab, cherry tomatoes, big tomatoes, cilantro, and lemon cucumbers to start our garden.  We also have watermelon seeds, pumpkins, peas, and a few hot peppers.  Grevin loved playing in the dirt and helping us get the garden prepped.

Some surprises left over from last year!
Would you like one?
On Sunday, we headed out to the Bodega Fish Festival out in Bodega Bay with Michelle and Andrew.  The boys had alot of fun checking out the fire engines, police cars, boats, and helicopters.  There was a boat parade as the boats headed out to be blessed for the opening of salmon season.  It was a rare day at the coast-sunny, warm, and hardly any wind.  So much fun!

Come on, let's go!
Is this a peak into the future?

The CHP officer said the boys could sit in her car, there was nothing that they could get into...famous last words...as the loudspeaker went off on the outside of the car with the dispatcher dispatching calls!
Checking out the starfish and other sea creatures...Grevin kept wanting to climb in with them!
The bestest of best friends!

When we got home, we headed out the finish gardening.  We were second guessing having Grey help us weed on Saturday because he wanted to keep pulling out the new plants.  Instead, I sprayed some water for him and he entertained himself!
I can't help but think he looks cute even covered in mud!!

It is hard for me to get used to all the dirt! We have been going outside but since J doesn't quite walk yet, he is crawling in it all...slowly I will get over all the dirt he tracks into the house!

If I would have known you were having a dirt party on Sunday afternoon, I would have sent Andrew over to play! Thanks for inviting us on Sunday. We had a blast.
