Recovering from a 5 Day Staycation...

Day 1:  Kurt's Lasik Surgery 

 Picture above is actually from his appointment on Wednesday to make sure he was a candidate - and he was!  The Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley is one of the best in the world, don't believe me check out their website.  Heck they've even done Trish from Mancini's Sleepworld's eyes.

This is Kurt's last picture with glasses. Weird.  I should make him write his own post about his surgery.  It was nothing short of a miracle. Although I did learn that he probably shouldn't take Valium again.  Drugs make the guy crazy.  He was singing to me on the way home, called his mom, ordered Chinese food, and doesn't remember any of it. lol

Day 2: Follow up appointment, shopped, lunch, and Cars 2

Since I had a little bit of birthday money left I decided to treat my kids and honey to lunch at Rubios and to a movie, but first we had to wait for Kurt to get out of his follow up appointment.  We watched Toy Story while we waited.  Afterwards LOVED Cars 2, especially Logan who thought he'd be scared for some reason.

Day 3: Day of Rest and a Haircut

We had an awesome pre-independence day dinner on our patio with tiki torches and everything.  I love BBQ Sundays.  I also noticed Logan needed a haircut.  Kurt shaved his head. And Kelsie was very excited.

Day 4: Independence Day

 We started our 4th of July bright and early!  We were nominated to be in charge of our Ward's Pancake Breakfast and Program.  It was a success, and I'm very glad it's over. :)

 We didn't get a picture, but Logan had an awesome dinosaur painted on his face and Kelsie got a heart compliments of the Young Women.

 After a brief nap, we headed to Bishop and Kathy Rauch's house for a fun afternoon (they had a few of their kids and grandkids in town along with some other friends from our ward over).  The kids LOVED playing in their pool and participated in THE BIG RACE.  Logan still is talking about it.  All the little and big lids had big wheels and did a few laps around the driveway.  We enjoyed the great food and even better company.

Day 5: Carmel/Monterey/Santa Cruz

We had a relaxing morning in afternoon and ate lunch of Tommy's Wok. mmmm It is a super yummy Chinese restaurant in Carmel.  Highly recommend.  Logan is enjoying his tofu stuffed shrimp.

Logan also wanted his picture taken by this tree.  Not sure why, but he did.

Thinker Toys=awesome, expensive toy store.  Kurt had to tell everyone to look, remember what you want, and we could buy it somewhere else.

 Enjoying beautiful Carmel...

We then headed to Monterey and played at the Dennis the Menace Park and enjoyed some sno cones.

 We finished our day at Hula's Grill in Santa Cruz.  It was YUMMY!  Only thing that would make it better would be a beach view.
