Vacation Week

We took off for a few days to visit family in North Hollywood and had a great time swimming, going to the L.A. Zoo, Travel Town, and celebrating Nathan's 30th and Ruth's 1st Birthdays.
There are a lot of pictures, so be patient.
Matthew and Ruth

Anna, Ruth, Matthew, and Abi

Emma, Abi, Matthew, Becca, and Megan at the picnic area at the zoo.
Ruth and Hailey have blankets make from the same color yarn. Ruth kept trying to take Hailey's because she was tired and we had forgotten hers.

Natalie, Becca, Megan, Matthew, Emma, Grandma (Mom) Tomsik, and Abi

Nathan and Ruth getting ready to blow out the candles.
Some of the cake is already missing because Natalie and the girls had to leave early and we couldn't let them go without some yummy birthday cake!

"Wow!"

Ruth loves her new toy! It shakes and plays animal sounds and music.

All gone!!!

All done!!!

A very happy Ruth at the L.A. Temple

The kids loved the fountains!
Matthew calls this the "Tree of Love"
Someone was nice enough to take this with all of us in it, too bad it turned out blurry.
