• A Quick Trip to Pismo Beach

    Pismo to us is a time to refresh and escape. So we were thrilled when Monday came and we packed up the car and headed to the central coast. We hit some traffic on the way there, so I'm super thankful Myke found this for the girls so they could watch veggie tales on an iPad after their naps in the car. Olivia did not nap, but she was silent and reading while Meghan napped…

Olivia started bouncing in her bed and Meghan pointed at us repeating her current favorite phrase “Dada dada dada”.
